Recent research on growth empirics has been focused on resolving model and variable uncertainty. The conventional approach has been to assume a linear growth process and then to proceed with investigating the relevant variables that determine cross-country growth. This paper questions the linearity assumption underlying the vast majority of such research and uses recently-developed nonparametri...

This study was conducted to evaluate the response of Iranian promisinglate blooming almond genotypes to deficit-irrigation stress on GN15 rootstock. One-year old plants subjectedto three deficit-irrigation, including moderate and severe stress (soil water potential, Ψsoil = -0.8 and -1.6 MPa, respectively) and a control treatment (Ψsoil= -0.33 MPa), were applied for six weeks to five grafting c...

The objective of this study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters for growth curve parameters in Shall sheep. Studied traits were parameters of Brody growth model which included A (asymptotic mature weight), B (initial animal weight) and K (maturation rate). The data set and pedigree information used in this study were obtained from the Animal Breeding Center of Iran and co...

in the present study, effect of five isolates of trichoderma harzianum on growth parameters of tomato was carried out as cr design with six replications under greenhouse conditions. the concentrations 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% inoculums per pot were used. plant length, shoot and root fresh/dry weight, number of leaves and stem diameter as growth parameters were measured. the results showed that isolate...

introduction salinity has various effects on plant growth by affecting physiological processes. the decline in plant productivity under saline condition, frequently linked with the reduction of photosynthetic capability. it has been reported that efficiency of psii photochemistry (fv/fm) of numerous plant species have been decreased due to salt stress studies have shown that salicylic acid (sa...

the growth parameters, mortality rates and exploitation population dynamic parameters and exploitation rate of psettodes erumei were assessed between july 2010 to june 2011 using length frequency analysis. the data were collected from landing sites of jask, bandar abass, kong and qeshm hormozgan province waters. using total weight (w) and total length (tl) data, the length- weight relationship ...
