this study was conducted to determine a relationship between energy input and yield in greenhouse basil production in esfahan province, iran. data were collected from 26 greenhouse basil producers through a face-to-face questionnaire. the data collected belonged to the production period of 2009–2010 with the following results obtained. a total energy input of 236,057 mj ha-1 was estimated to be...

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of different planting densities and nitrogen doses on essential oil content and yield in herb and leaves of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). The research was conducted during 2007 and 2008 using split-plot randomized complete block design with four replications. The experiment consisted of four plant densities (30×20, 40×20 and 50×20 cm) as the main p...

ABSTRACT- In order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and plant density on yield and yield components of bean, a split plot arrangement was conducted in complete randomized block design during two years. The foremost variable was four levels of irrigation: 60, 80, 100, and 120% of the potential evapotranspiration. The second variable was within the row spacing of 5 cm (D1), 10...

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the biomass yield and chemical composition of the essential oil of clove basil in response to doses of broiler litter (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 t ha-1) added in presence of triple superphosphate (200 kg ha-1) or without it. Before the first harvest, the height of the plants increased significantly (34.42 cm) when 15 tonnes ha-1 broiler litter were added to ...

introduction: basil (ocimum basilicum l.) is an annual herbaceous plant that belongs to lamiaceae family. this plant is native of india country and other countries in south of asia. nowadays, the use of water superabsorbent polymers is increased in agriculture and their role in reducing the drought stress and increasing the crops production has been demonstrated in many researches. superabsorbe...

to evaluate the effect of row spacing and seed rate on grain yield and agronomical traits of common bean cultivars, a split factorial experiment based on the complete randomized block design with three replications was conducted at rice research institute of iran (rasht) in 2008 and 2009 cropping years. experimental treatments were row spacing in three levels of 20, 30 and 40 cm as main plot an...
