the objective of this research was to investigate the effects of deficit irrigation on physiological and agronomic terms of eggplant to maximize the water use efficiency (wue) without affecting the final yield and fruit quality parameters under arid environment. therefore, two field experiments were conducted at two different sites: ghor al-safi, jordan valley and sail al-karak, karak valley, ka...

effects of different mulches and saran shading on yield and quality of tomato (lycopersicon esculentum cv. early urbana vf) were studied at ilam university, ilam, iran in 2009. the research work was carried out using a 4×4 split plot experimental arrangment through a completely randomized block design (crbd) of three replications, where shading levels of 0%: no shading; 40%: white; 55%: double-...

objective: in this study investigated effects of different amounts of pelleted manure with urea and micro elements on yield and seed quality of medicinal plants, pumpkin (cucurbita pepo var. styriaca). methods: the animal manure and urea as pellet with four levels (150 kg urea, 50 kg urea + 3.5 ton animal manure, 100 (kg) urea+ 1.5 ton animal manure and 150 (kg) urea+1.5 ton animal manure) loca...

In order to study the effect of nitrogen rate and plant density on morphological traits and essential oil and fruit yield of coriander, a split-plot experiment was carried out in research field of Islamic Azad University, Birjand Branch, Birjand, Iran in 2010 based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plots were nitrogen rates at four levels (0, 40, 80 and 120...

Nitrogen is an important element in the life of a plant. A wide range of nitrogen-containing compounds is available in the world market, with different formulations and efficiencies. Urea is present in most fertilizer applications; however, nano-nitrogen products are becoming popular although there is only limited information on their field efficiency. Thus, this paper studied the foliar applic...

fruit yield efficiency and some vegetative characteristics of commercial and spur type apple. cultivars was evaluated in dr. nakhjavani field station, orumieh, iran, in 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. apple cultivars included: red spur, red chief, golden spur, yellow spur, fujii, red delicious, cooper spur, red cooper spur, jonathan, golden delicious, oregon spur, jonagold. the experimental desi...

BACKGROUND Recent research on nanoparticles in a number of crops has evidenced for enhanced germination and seedling growth, physiological activities including photosynthetic activity and nitrogen metabolism, mRNA expression and protein level, and also positive changes in gene expression indicating their potential use in crop improvement. We used a medicinally rich vegetable crop, bitter melon,...

Objective: This field experiment was laid out in order to study on effect of Nano and Bio fertilizers on yield and yield components of tomato (Lycopersicone sculentum L.) during the growing seasons 2013- 2014. Methods: The experiment was laid out in a factorial based on randomized block design with three replications. Treatments were K nanofertilizer in five levels such as (0, 100, 200...
