in order to study the effects of different levels of animal manure and bulb weights on growth criteria, yield components, seed yield and essential oil yield of caraway, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during two growing seasons of 2012-2013 and 2013-...

inroduction: inbreeding is defined as the probability that two alleles at any locus are identical by descent and occur when related individuals are mated to each other. the initial consequence of inbreeding is inbreeding depression reducing the performance of growth, production, health, fertility, and survival traits. this concern has become more serious in animal breeding nowadays, in which se...

The weights of single mealworms were continuously recorded at 20 degrees C during exposure to periods of constant humidity and to abrupt changes in atmospheric vapour pressure. Two exchange stages were recognized in each animal. Weight changes were either limited to slow losses, suggesting transpiration through the external cuticle, or showed more rapid humidity-dependent gains as well as losse...

progressive usage of medicinal plants has necessitated their mass production using the minimum amounts of chemical inputs. to find out the effects of urea and pelleted animal manure and some micronutrients on yield and its components in pumpkin, a split plot experiment based on rcbd with three replicates was conducted at the research farm of abouraihan campus, university of tehran in 2011. the ...
