Iron deficiency is a worldwide nutritional constraint in agricultural lands especially in calcareous soils. Cultivation of crops tolerant to Fe-deficiency is an approach to combat Fe deficiency. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate Fe-efficiency of selected important crops in Iran. A completely randomized block design in triplicates was conducted at IUT research greenhouse in fall 2006...

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal which is toxic to human, plants and all other organisms. Among heavy metals, Cd mobility and phytoavailability in soils is of great concern due to the fact that even at low concentrations may cause toxicity. Thus its behavior in soils needs further investigation. A greenhouse experiment was carried out to examine the effect of Cd and two zinc (Zn) sources (sulfate ...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of foliar application of ordinary and nano-particles of zinc and iron oxide on the responses of two wheat cultivars (kavir and Tajan) to three levels of salinity (0, 75 and 150 mmol kcal). The experiment was arranged as factorial in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Plant height, leaf area, shoot and root dry weight,...

gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...

In order to evaluate the effect of urban wastewater and different fertilizer sources on macro and micro nutrients' concentration and shoot dry weight of sugar beet, a field experiment was arranged as a split plot in RCBD design with three replications at Research Station of Shahrekord University in 2013. The main factors included irrigation with urban wastewater at 2-4 leaf stage and 8-12 leaf ...

Because of the undesirable effects of lead on soil properties and human health, evaluation of its remediation methods seems to be essential. In order to evaluate the effect of humic acid (HA) on the  decontamination of lead (Pb) spiked-soils in the presence of wormwood plant (Artemicia absantium), an experiment was carried out in a completely randomized  block design with three replications. Ex...
