Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L) is an important vegetable plant as a kitchen spice. and traditional medicine. The productivity of shallots in Riau still low, due to low soil fertility. For this reason, fertilization carried out by combining liquid organic fertilizer with water hyacinth potassium nitrate (KNO3).
 aim study was determine the main interaction influence POC Water Hyacinth KNO3...

Aim: Many countries import potassic fertilizers due to dearth of K-mineral deposits. Therefore processes to obtain K-nutrient sources from sea bittern were developed by our Institute. The present investigation evaluated the fertilizer potential of three different sea bittern-derived (SBD) potassium forms developed viz., potassium schoenite, potassium nitrate and potassium ammonium sulfate on ma...

Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.) is one of the important vegetable crops in China. However, the seeds of this crop are short-lived and their vitality tends to be easily lost in the course of storage. The present study was conducted to elucidate the effects of welsh onion seed priming with potassium nitrate (KNO3) on seed vigor and on other such related mechanisms during twelve months of stora...

In an effort to improve and promote the propagation of Terminalia sericea, the effects of temperature, photoperiod and growth regulators on seed germination were investigated. Seeds were tested with different temperature regime (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40C) and in photoperiod (4/20, 8/16, 12/12, 16/8 light/dark hrs and 24 hours continuous dark). Pre-treatments with growth regulators were don...

Although, grapevines do not have a high chilling requirement, its fulfillment is critical for normal development of the vines. In tropical and subtropical regions such as Farrashband, in the south of Iran, there is no adequate winter chilling to release bud dormancy in grapevines. So it is necessary to consider the effect of chemical dormancy–breaking agents on bud dormancy. In the present rese...

Ingestion of dietary (inorganic) nitrate elevates circulating and tissue levels of nitrite via bioconversion in the entero-salivary circulation. In addition, nitrite is a potent vasodilator in humans, an effect thought to underlie the blood pressure–lowering effects of dietary nitrate (in the form of beetroot juice) ingestion. Whether inorganic nitrate underlies these effects and whether the ef...

This research presents, for the first time, a study of seed germination two varieties, ‘Anacyclus pyrethrum var. (L.) Link’ and depressus (Ball.) Maire’, an endemic endangered medicinal species listed in IUCN red list as Anacyclus Link. Our objective was to provide information their protection well sustainable development strategy, by understanding whether seeds germinate easily or have very sp...
