an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of paclobutrazol (pbz) and different irrigation amount on growth of aerial parts, leaf minerals and root performance in young olive plants cv. ‘manzanillo’ in the department of horticulture, faculty of agriculture, tarbiat modarres university in 2000. a split plot experiment in time was used based on a completely randomized block design with f...

Hand and wrist radiographic indexes such as radial inclination, ulnar variance, carpal height ratio, and radial tilt play an important role in the diagnosis and management of medical disorders, so they should be modified regarding the population and race difference. This study aims to compare the normal radiologic wrist indexes in Mashhad population with other existing databases and define some...

in order to investigate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) inoculation on the morphological traits of tarragon a factorial pot experiment, based on completely randomized design with four replications, were conducted in research field of horticulture department of mohaghegh ardabili university in 2010 - 2011. treatments consisted of inoculation with three species of rhizo...

Salicylic acid (SA) is an endogenous plant growth regulator of phenolic nature that plays a key role in the regulation of plant growth, development, interaction with other organisms and in the responses to environmental stresses such as drought. An experiment was therefore, conducted to evaluation the influence of exogenous SA application on some traits of common bean under water stress conditi...

in recent years application of plant growth regulators especially growth retardants, has been significantly increased. trizols (paclobutrzol and trinexapac-ethyl) as the most effective and least harmful growth retardants, induce more dwarf and denser cover plants with both darker and thicker leaves.  therefore, an experiment based on completely randomized block design with 16 treatments and 3 r...

Non-chemical control of plant growth is an important goal for the production of ornamental pot plants. In the present study the effects of simulated vibration on plant height and some physical and mechanical properties of Coleus stem were investigated. The study was conducted as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications. Vibration stresses were perfo...
