In line with sustainable agriculture that depends on modern methods and new sources of non-traditional irrigation, a field experiment was conducted at privet farm behind Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, Giza, Egypt during two seasons to evaluate five sugar beet varieties under water salinity stress condition. The present work included 15 treatments; represent varieties: viz. Multi-germs (Amina, Fa...

objective: in order to study the effect of drought stress, salicylic acid (sa) and  jasmonic acid (ja) foliar application on hill reaction and photosynthetic pigments. methods:experiment was done as factorial on the basis of completely randomized design in 4 replications. irrigation in 3 levels (fc,   fc and  fc), salicylic acid in 2 levels (0 and 0.5 mm) and jasmonic acid in 2 levels (0 and 50...

Strong antioxidant activity of Pelargonium graveolens is well known. The question addressed in this study was whether different concentrations of exogenous ascorbic acid (AsA) and iron (Fe) were able to influence antioxidant activity and total phenol content (TPC) of geranium. Thus, three levels of Fe (0, 20 and 40 µM) and three levels of AsA (0, 1 and 2 mM) in nutrient solution were c...

in order to study the effects of foliar application of zn and k on yield and some physiological traits of spring safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.), cv. esfahan 14, under drought stress, a pot experiment was conducted in research greenhouse of yasouj university. experiment was a factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications. factors consisted of drought stress (s1- wi...

Five Malaysian rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties, MR33, MR52, MR211, MR219, and MR232, were tested in pot culture under different salinity regimes for biochemical response, physiological activity, and grain yield. Three different levels of salt stresses, namely, 4, 8, and 12 dS m(-1), were used in a randomized complete block design with four replications under glass house conditions. The results...

Salinity is one of the greatest environmental challenges facing plant growth and development in the 21st century. Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic compound and signal molecule involved in the regulation of plants responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. This greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine effects of SA application on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) responses to salinit...
