Some strawberriy cultivars (Fragaria x ananassa Dutch. cv. Aliso, Selva, Gaviota and Camarosa) were grown hydroponically with five NH4:NO3 mM concentration ratios (0/6 (S1), 0.25/6 (S2), 0.5/6 (S3), 1/6 (S4), 2/6 (S5) and constant nitrate concentration in three replicates for two seasons: Summer and Winter, in greenhouses of Agriculture Faculty of Tehran University. The results are reported as ...

Due to low organic matter content in most of the cultivated soils of Iran and occurrence of drought stress in plants because of low precipitation, application of sewage sludge compost has been recommended for increasing soil organic matter content and improving soil fertility, increasing crop tolerance to water deficit and improving crop yield. So, in this study, the effects of soil moisture an...

In order to assess the effect of salinity on root traits and yield of two wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted in Agricultural, Medical and Industrial Research School, Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute, Karaj, Iran, using factorial experiment based on complete randomized design with 3 replications. The first factor included sensitive wheat cv. (Tajan) and tolerant cv. (B...

Salinity and waterlogging are two important abiotic stresses to plants growth and yield in the world. These two stresses can occur simultaneously and have additive effects on plants, including corn, growth. In a greenhouse experiment, the effects of NaCl salinity and waterlogging and their interactive effect on the growth characteristics of forage corn (Zea mays cv. single cross 704) were studi...

Soil salinity is an increasing environmental stress on crops in most areas of Iran since farmers use underground saline water for irrigation. In order to investigate the effects of salt stress on germination and seedling growth of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), an experiment was conducted at two stages (germination seedling growth), using four levels of NaCl salinity (0, 5, 10, 15 ds/m), ...
