greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to examine the allelopathic effects of water extracts of pigweed (amaranthus retroflexu l.) leaf, stem, root and flower at different growth stages on canola seed germination and seedling growth. water extracts of leaf, stem, root and flower as individually, binary, ternary and quadri mixtures at 0, 50 and 100% concentrations were made and their e...

in order to study the sensitivity of vegetative growth to water deficit stress of a late-maturing peach (prunus persica l. cv. elberta) under orchard conditions, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete-block design with three treatments and four repetitions in shahdiran commercial orchard in mashhad during 2011. three irrigation treatments including 360 (low stress), 180 (moderate st...

Ten varieties and eight generations (2F1, 2F2, 2B1 and 2B2) of durum wheat derived from two crosses were evaluated for resistance to natural infection by Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) at the 2-3 and 6-7 leaf stages at two sites over two years. There were significant differences in the incidence of SNB between leaf stages in most of the wheat varieties, with resistance being most evident at ...

effect of foliar spraying by humic acid on mineral leaf composition, yield and fruit quality of apple (malus domestica l. cv. ‘granny smith’) was studied. an experiment based on randomized complete design was conducted in khorramdare city of zanjan province. spraying of humic acid was conducted in four levels 0, 5, 10 and 15 mg/l on eight year-old ‘granny smith’ apples grafted on mm106 rootstoc...

The effects of seedling age and temperature regimes and durations on the reversal of Eustoma grandiflorum (Raf.) Shin. heat-induced rosette formation were clarified. When E. grandiflorum seedlings were grown in a natural-light phytotron (600-800 μmol·m·s) for 4 weeks at 33/28C (12-h day/12-h night) from germination to the four true-leaf stage, the optimum temperature and duration required to br...

in order to investigation of waterlogging stress effects on morphological and physiological traits of rapeseed in different developmental stages, a pot experiment was conducted at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2010-2011. the experiment design was completely randomized with factorial arrangement and three replications. examined factors were developmental...

in order to evaluate effects of iron, zinc and manganese, and the methods of applying them on yield and yield components of sweet corn (zea mays saccharata), an experiment was performed as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the research farm of urmia university. experimental factors were micronutrient fertilizers with four levels (control, iron, zinc a...
