To study the effects of phosphate and zinc sulfate fertilizers application methods on water use efficiency and qualitative characteristics of corn underwater stress, an experiment was conducted in split plot factorial arrangement on randomized complete block design with three replications at research farm of the Bu Ali Sina University in 2014. Three levels of irrigation after 60, 90, and 120 mm...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Inhibiting of gel forming, under certain pH and temperature conditions, is one of the most effective ways in leaching process of siliceous zinc concentrates. In order to provide the crucial conditions for extracting zinc from siliceous zinc concentrates, the variables, e.g. temperature, pH, time duration, rotation speed of mixer and the remaining time which are known to affect the leaching proc...

One of the plant breeding strategies for increasing zinc content of wheat grain is employing natural genetic variability of this trait. To investigate genetic variation of traits related to zinc efficiency among Iranian spring wheat cultivars and determining the relationship between these traits and grain yield and its components, two separate experiments were conducted based on randomized comp...

In order to investigate the effect of combination of chemical and biological fertilizers on dry matter, uptake and efficiency of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) by fenugreek (Trigonella foenum- graecum), an experiment was conducted as randomized complete blocks design with three replications in the Research Greenhouse of Shahrekord University. Eight fertilizer treatments consisted of...
