In recent years, the global demand for blueberries has been growing because of its nutraceutical properties in fruits, which provide important benefits to human health. Colombia, thanks diversity, a great opportunity meet blueberry demands markets. present study, effect two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) genera Glomus and Acaulospora were evaluated on growth plants var. Biloxi, subjected th...

the present study examined the effects of mycorrhizal fungus glomus sp. on pistachio growth parameters and root-rot disease of pistachio seedlings under greenhouse conditions. the experiment was conducted in factorial arrangement based on completely randomized design with six replications. examined factors included: levels of glomus inoculation (with (m1) and without inoculation (m0) and two le...

background and objectives: early watergrass (echinochloa oryzoides) is considered as a new-introduced species and then as a potential invader. investigation of competitive traits of this species, in comparison with barnyardgrass (e. crus-galli), one of the most important weeds in rice fields of guilan province, would be useful to determine its spreading possibility as an aggressive weed. theref...

application of bio-fertilizers, especially mycorrhiza as substituent or complement of chemical fertilizers is one of the most important strategies for plant nutrition in sustainable management of agro-ecosystems. in order to evaluate the separated and integrated application of mycorrhiza biological fertilizer and phosphorus chemical fertilizers on growth indices of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.)...

determined in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees and stands from 7 to about 60 years of age. At the stand scale, leaf area index and net primary productivity (NPP, aboveplus belowground) increased and reached a plateau at about 25--30 and 15--20 years, respectively; both parameters declined in mature stands. Stand hydraulic conductance followed a similar trend to NPP, with a maximum at abou...

carbon dioxide (co2) concentration of the global atmosphere has increased during the last decades. increasing global atmospheric co2 concentrations are expected to influence crop production. in order to evolution of co2 concentration effects on morphophysiologycal traits in tagets, ageratum and gauilardia, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 3 replications and 12 t...

Long-term declines in rainfall in south-western Australia have resulted in increased interest in the hydraulic characteristics of jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata Donn ex Smith) forest established in the region's drinking water catchments on rehabilitated bauxite mining sites. We hypothesized that in jarrah forest established on rehabilitated mine sites: (1) leaf area index (L) is independent of in...

for comparison the growth characteristics and quantitative and qualitative yield of two summer savory species (such as satureja khuzestanica and s. rechingeri) in response to rainfed and irrigated conditions, an experiment was carried out on the basis of split-plot design in completely randomized block design with three replicates in north of khuzestan during growing season of 2012-2013. irriga...
