in order to evaluate the effects of seed priming and different levels of nitrogen on yield and yield components of two corn (zea mays) hybrids, an experiment was carried out as split plot factorial based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications in agricultural research station of shahrood university of technology. the treatments were urea levels (150, 250, 350 kg/ha) ...

there are several methods to increase crops yield, including use of high quality seeds. seed priming is a simple and low-cost method to increase seed quality, if be done right, will lead to increasing plant performance and yield. seed priming treatment applied before planting to enhance germination parameters, seedling establishment and etc. primed seeds get some physiological and biochemical c...

background & aim: because of seed germination ability of medicinal plants seed is low and, generally exposed to problem. priming is one of the techniques that help seeds to be germinated faster and uniformly. experimental: a laboratory experiment was carried out on germination and growth improvement in heracleum persicum desf.  by seed osmo-primming in seed technology laboratory ...

a pot experiment laid out in factorial arranged in completely randomized design with three replications was implemented to evaluate the effects of seed priming in ameliorating salinity stress in sesame (sesamum indicam l.) during seedling development and the early vegetative growth. factors included five priming treatments : control (non priming) , hydropriming, halopriming with nacl, kcl , cac...

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a microwave-assisted chemical method. ZnO nanostructures were synthesized via a fast reaction between zinc acetate and ammonia at presence citric acid and other effective agents in chemical procedure. Nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction , scanning electron microscopy. Seed yield and seed quality of safflower grown under drought stress. Th...

effects of seed priming by salicylic acid on yield and yield components of cowpea (vigna unguiculata) cultivar “parastou” were investigated under water deficit conditions. experiment was carried out as a split block design with three replications in 2008-2009 at research station of zanjan university. factors included drought stress as main factor with three levels (normal irrigation, applicatio...

to evaluate the effects of seed priming with salicylic acid on quality and baking traits of wheat flour, cv. alvand, under different sowing dates, a factorial experiment was conducted on the basis of complete randomized block design. the factors were seed priming with salicylic acid (including untreated seeds or control treatment, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 µm concentrations of salicyl...

effects of seed priming by salicylic acid on some morpho-physiologic characteristics and yield of cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.) cultivar “parastou” was investigated under water deficit. experiment was conducted as a split block design with 3 replications in 2008-2009 at research farm of zanjan university. factors were including drought stress as a main factor in 2 levels (irrigation, water defi...
