lentil is considered as salinity sensitive species and is adversely affected in response to the salt stress in terms of growth and yield. this pot experiment was conducted to determine the effect of exogenous salicylic acid (sa) application on physiology, growth, yield and yield components of lentil grown under salt stress in greenhouse conditions, in a factorial arrangement based on randomized...

Salinity stress is a brutal environmental stress which decreases the yield production of plants. Questions rise on which of the ionic stress or lack of water has deleterious effects on plants forage dry yield. Also, questions remain on whether the K+ reduction or Na+ accumulation is more important in forage dry yield reduction under salinity stress. The present experiment was conducted to answe...

salinity of water and soil in arid and semi arid regions restricts the growth and yield of crops such as sesame. in order to evaluate yield and yield components of 43 lines and ecotypes of sesame (sesamum indicum l.) under saline condition (ec of irrigation water, 5.2 ds m-1) an experiment was carried out in randomize complete block design with three replications at salinity research station of...

Soybean is an important industrial crop in Croatia and in the last ten years (2000-2009) mean soybean harvested area was 45888 ha (from 35789 to 62810 ha) with average seed yield 2.0 t ha-1 (Central Croatian Bureau of Statistic, 2010). Seed yields of soybean varied in close connection with amount and distribution of precipitation during the vegetation period (Vučić and Bošnjak, 1980; Bošnjak, 2...

drought stress is a major factor limiting crop production. investigation of physiological characteristics related to drought tolerance and crop production may be useful in selecting drought tolerant cultivars as well as in improving crop yield. two drought tolerant (azar2 & back cross roshan) and two drought susceptible (marvdast & shiraz) cultivars were investigated in both greenhouse and fiel...

introduction nowadays, salinity is one of the limiting factors for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. on the other hand, sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) is a self-pollinated and short-day plant, which partly has been adapted to salinity and water stress conditions; also play an important role in humans, livestock and poultry nourishments. all studies have showed the positive effects of...

abstract in order to study the effects on salinity and silicon application on yield and yield components of purslane (portulaca oleracea l.), an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized desgin with three replications and two factors consisted of four different levels of salinity using nacl (0, 7, 14, 21ds/m) and two levels of silicon (application of one mmol sodium silicate and not a...
