In order to investigate the effect of salinity and cadmium (Cd) on yield, chlorophyll content and antioxidant activity of Kochia plant, a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications was conducted under greenhouse conditions. The experimental treatments included five Cd levels (0, 5, 30, 60 and 90 mg Cd kg-1 soil as cadmium sulphate) and three salinity levels (...

the present research study attempted to find out the extent to which two pre-task activities of “glossary of unknown vocabulary items” and “content related support” assisted efl language learners with their performance on listening comprehension questions across two different proficiency levels (low and high). data for this study were obtained from a total of 120 language learners, female and m...

In order to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid on some physiological characteristics of common purslane (Portulacea oleracea L.) under NaCl stress, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was conducted in 2013 in research greenhouse of Faculty of Agriculture, University of Yasouj, Iran. Treatments were included of six levels of NaCl salinity (0, ...

This study was performed to investigate interactions of different levels of vermicompost extract and salinity stress on germination characteristics of chickpea seedlings. The factorial experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with three replications. Concentrations of vermicompost extract (0, 5, 10 and 20 volumetric percentage) and salinity levels (0, 30, 60 and 90 mM NaCl). Res...

.Salt stress is one of the major abiotic stresses especially in arid and semi-arid regions. This investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of the salt stress on Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activities in safflower genotypes based in on a factorial experiment as a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. The experimental factors were six ...
