A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of synthetic wastewater containing various concentrations of cadmium and chromium on Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Six month-old seedlings of E. camaldulensis were treated with Cd (II) and Cr (VI) for 18 months. Treatments were; T0: (Tap water, control), T1: 0.05 +1.0 mg L, T2: 0.10+2.0 mg L, T3: 0.20+4.0 mg L and T4: 0.40+8.0 mg L of Cd and Cr ...

Soil and water salinity substantially constrain crop and biomass production. To investigate the changes in morphological parameters of lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) cultivars under CaCl2 salinity conditions a greenhouse experiment was conducted. Cultivars namely, ‘Champagne’ (C1), ‘Lime Green’ (C2), ‘Blue Picotee’ (C3) and ‘Pure White’ (C4), were subjected to salt stress (0–30 mM CaCl2) in ...

Research pertaining to genetic variability parameters, heritability, and genotypic, phenotypic, simple, and environmental correlations for various seedling traits in five elite advanced cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lines (FH-113, FH-114, FH-941, FH-942, and FH-2015) and one check (CIM-496) was carried out during October and November 2010 under greenhouse conditions at the Cotton Research Inst...

The present study investigates the effects of Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices on the resistance of green basil plants to salinity stress. The findings suggested that there was an interaction of effects between mycorrhiza fungi inoculation and salt stress on the physiological characteristics of Ocimum basilicum L. On one hand, salinity decreased percentage of root colonization, root lengt...

In this study, the interaction between iron and copper on growth parameters (plant height, fresh weight of roots, stem’s length, fresh weight of shoots, fresh and dry weight of seeds), total proteins and the antioxidant enzymes activity   in Cuminum cyminum L.  were investigated. This experiment was carried out in completely randomized blocks with 9 treatments in 3 repetitions.  Plants were tre...

greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the response of wheat to tank mixture of herbicides with insecticide and manure in ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the experiment consisted of 8 treatments: 1- tribenuron methyl (15-20 g ha-1) + clodinafop propargyl (0.8 l ha-1) 2- tribenuron methyl + clodinafop propargyl + fenitrotion (1.2 l ha-1) + librel (1 kg ha-1) 3- tribenuron methyl + c...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of zinc application and salinity stress (0, 33, 66 and 99 mM NaCl) on some morphological and physiological parameters of soybean (Glycine max L., var. Williams). Results showed that zinc application improved shoot length, root fresh and dry weight and shoot fresh and dry weight under all salinity treatments. The catalase (CAT), ascorbate pe...
