The effect of potash biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer was studied on quantitative and qualitative traits of periwinkle in a factorial experiment based on a Randomized Complete Design with three replications, 48 experimental units, and two factors: (1) different methods of potash bio-fertilizer application at four levels of control (B0), seed inoculation (B1), root inoculation (B2) and seed...

The effects of three fungicide seed treatments (triazole plus imidazole (tri+im), fuberidazole (fub) and carboxin plus thiram (car+thi)) on establishment and yield of a number of paired seed lines of wheat cultivars with different levels of Fusarium infection were examined. Without seed treatment, lines of four cultivars with an average of 48% of seeds infected with Fusarium had between 9% and ...

A total of 206 wheat and 200 barley farmers were interviewed in northeastern Syria to understand farmer perceptions and practice relating to modern varieties, seed sources and seed quality. Wheat farmers had better awareness and grew modern varieties (87%), applied fertilizers (99.5%), herbicides (93%), seed treatment (90%) or insecticides (41%). In contrast barley growers had low awareness (36...

in order to evaluate the seed yield and qualitative traits and oil in some winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) varieties as affected by micronutrient elements, this experiment was performed during 2011 - 2012 cropping seasons as split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications, in arak, iran. micronutrient fertilizers including of zero as check, fe, zn, mn, fe ...

A seed treatment includes any compound or process applied to seed in order to reduce damage by organisms that infest the seed surface, infect tissue inside the seed, live in soil where the seed will be placed, or attack young seedlings. Compounds discussed in this publication include organic chemicals and microbial formulations that are applied to suppress damage by pathogenic fungi, insects, o...

OBJECTIVE To develop a protocol for breaking of seed dormancy and increasing the seed germination rate of Bunium persicum. METHODS The seeds were treated with 3.1, 6.3, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 µmol/L of benzyl aminopurine, gibberellic acid (GA3), thidiazuron (TDZ) and forchlorfenuron. Then, seeds were transferred to two different temperature conditions including room temperature (25 °C) and chil...
