Salinity and heavy metals affect the growth and development of higher plants and also their productivity. In the present study, Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var botrytis) seeds were allowed to germinate and grow in the absence (control) and presence of different concentrations (50, 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 μM) of NaCl, CdCl2, HgCl2 and ZnCl2. Seed germination and growth parameters of seedl...

a growth chamber study was carried out to evaluate the allelopahtic effects of shoot and root water extract of hoary cress (cardaria draba) on seed germination and seedling characteristic of sorghum (sorghum bicolor). the study was conducted based on completely randomized design with four replications in research laboratory of faculty of agriculture, university of birjand in 2008. treatments we...

in order to comparison the foliar application of biological, biostimulator and chemical fertilizers on growth characteristics and yield of saffron, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with four replication in 3- year field of saffron in dargaz, khorasan razavi province from 2010 to 2011. the first factor had 5 levels included biostimulator fertilizer bio...

In order to study the effects of salinity stress on growth indices of three clover species including, Trifolium resupinatum, T. alexandrinum, and T. incarnatum, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on a completely randomized design arrangement with three replications. Factors included seven levels of salinity stress (0, 41, 82, 123, 164, 205, and 246 mM) and three clover species. Diff...

Objective: In order to study the effect of different concentrations of IBA hormone on rooting of olive cuttings in spring and winter of 2012-2013 in a greenhouse in Jiroft, Iran. Methods: a split-plot experiment was conducted on the basis of a Randomized Complete Block Design in which hardwood cuttings of one-year-old olive plants cv. Manzanilla with the diameter of 0.7-1 cm were used. The main...

An effort carried out to find out the smaller size of cuttings for propagation ofMorus alba in Experimental area, Department of Forestry, Range Management and Wildlife, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, 2005. Different size of cuttings i.e.5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm were planted in polythene tubes of 9 cm x 18 cm. The attempt was also made to compare the performance of cuttings outdoor a...

understanding of wheat root system is important in dryland conditions. root development, important factor in wheat production under water limiting conditions, can be affected by environmental factors especially nitrogen fertilizer. a field experiment was carried out to study the nitrogen rates and application times on root morphology of three rainfed wheat genotypes, using a split-splitplot bas...
