effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (glomus mossea ca) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) of bacillus pantea and psedomonas putida were evaluated on growth parameters of osteospermum (osteospermum hybrida ‘passion mix’) under different watering conditions (field capacity, two and one third of field capacity). arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (amf) and pgpr were applied as single ...

Drought stress is one of the main restrictions in plant production in arid and semi-arid regions. Adding superabsorbent agents that maintain water in the soil, is among strategies to cope with drought stress. Therefore, in order to investigate the effect of zeolite superabsorbent on the physiological properties of carrot plants, the experiment was carried out as a factorial in a completely rand...

one of the most important parameters in evaluating a watermarking algorithm is its capacity. generally, watermarking capacity is expressed by bits per pixel (bpp) unit measure. but this measure does not show what the side effects would be on image quality, watermark robustness and capacity. in this paper we propose a three dimensional measure named capacity surface which shows the effects of ca...

it is very important to test and evaluate the performance and ability of new-design machinery in comparison with available ones. based on this, a tractor front-mounted rice reaper was compared and evaluated with tiller- mounted and self-propelled reapers. field experiments were conducted to determine forward speed, field capacity, harvesting losses, labor and costs. experiments were conducted b...

An increasing number of studies around the world are showing that a long-held assumption rock fragments (RFs) inert with respect to water retention is incorrect. Yet very few pedotransfer functions (PtFs) account for held by RFs or effect have on fine earth. The PtFs incorporate content (WC) relied upon measurement methods may not be representative field conditions. This indicates gap in resear...
