in order to study of sodium nitroprusside(snp) application effect on growth indices and water use efficiency of kidney beans cultivars(akhtar and derakhshan) under water deficit stress, an experiment was conducted in split factorial based in randomized complete block design with three replications in bu-ali sina university research field at 2012. water stress treatments included vegetative stre...

water deficit is a major factor influencing yield of canola (brassica napus l.) seed yield and oil content. a field experiment was conducted during 2010 growing season in the agriculture research station of torogh, mashhad, iran to evaluate responses of canola cultivars to limited water. experimental design was rcbd pattern with three replications. treatments were two irrigation regimes (based ...

to identify the fungi associated with foot and root rot of wheat in the khuzestan province, diseased samples were collected at all growth stages in three growing seasons of 2004-2007. pieces of infected parts of the root and foot were surface sterilized and cultured on acidic and non acidic pda media. one hundred and fifteen isolates were obtained and on the basis of macroscopic and microscopic...

physiological effect of five levels of water stress (0,-0.3,-6,-9 and -1.2mp) was studied on seed germination and tigella as well as radicule growth length in two different artemisia species namely: artemisia spicigera and artemisia fragrans. polyethylene glycol (peg) was used to provide appropriate water potentials. a total of 50 seeds were sown from each artemisia species. experimental design...

abstract a sub-sample of lentil (lens culinaris medik. cv. kimia) seeds was kept as bulk (s1) and another sample was separated to large (s2) and small (s3) seeds. a sub-sample of each size was kept as control or high vigor seed lot (a1) and the two other sub-samples were artificially aged for 2 and 4 days (a2 and a3, respectively). field performance and some physiological traits of plants from ...

abstract three pear genotypes (nazkeh, lasoreh and qevilah), grown in 2l containers, were studied under four irrigation regimes in order to evaluate the leaf relative water content (rwc), photosynthesis, leaf gas exchanges and plant dry weight induced by water stress. control treatment everyday was irrigation. irrigation was practiced when soil water potential reached at -0.4, -0.8, and -1.2 mp...

a field experiment was carried out during 2001 in the experimental fields of sugar beet seed institute in karaj. the objective of this study was to determine the response of some quantitative and qualitative traits of three sugar beet lines subjected to continuous water stress and normal conditions. three sugar beet lines 7219-p.69, bp-karaj and 7112 as tolerant, semi tolerant and sensitive to ...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of water stress on the growth and mineral concentrations in the leaves and roots of four pistachio seedling rootstocks including pistacia vera ‘badami-riz-zarand’, ‘ghazvini’, ‘sarakhs’ and p. mutica. irrigation treatments were 100% etc (control), 65% etc (medium stress) and 30% etc (severe stress) applying for 75 days on four months old pistachio...

the possible alleviating effects of salicylic acid on protection of cowpea (vigna unguiculata) cv. parastu under water stress conditions were investigated in the university of zanjan agriculture research station during 2008. water stress was imposed by withholding irrigation at 50% flowering (flowering water stress, fws) and when 50% of the pods grew 2-3cm (pod-formation water stress, pfws). sa...
