two field and laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of superabsorbent polymer (sap) and irrigation management on seed and essential oil yields of cumin, as well as the impact of water quality on water holding capacity of sap. salinity had a negative effect on the amount of water absorbed by sap (335 and 59 g h2o per g sap, for distilled water and solution of 0.5% nacl...

for investigating of o. aegyptiaca control in tomato with sulfosulfuron and glyphosate and evaluating the efficacy, dose and time of application, some studies were conducted in 2011 at aarhus university of denmark. at first, the efficacy of sulfosulfuron (0.029, 0.147, 0.735, 3.676 and 18.378 mg per lit) and glyphosate (0.023, 0.117, 0.587, 2.935 and 14.676 µl per lit) on egyptian broomrape see...

the new cereal, primary tritipyrum lines, is an artificial hexaploeid wheat (2n=6x=42, aabbebeb) from crossing between triticum durum (2n=4x=28, aabb) and thinopyrum bessarabicum (2n=2x=14, ebeb) species. in this study the salt tolerant potencial of new primary tritipyrum lines for nacl (0, 100, 200 mm) in an hydroponic experiment was studied in a completely randomized split plot design with th...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Insect growth regulators (IGRs) offer alternatives to conventional chemical larvicides that pose problem of resistance and environmental safety. However, only a limited number of IGRs have been approved for use in mosquito control. In the present study, two new formulations of the IGR diflubenzuron, 2 per cent granular (GR) and 2 per cent tablet (DT) were tested for its ...

to study the effects of nano-zinc oxide and seed inoculation with brady rhizobium and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on yield and some agronomic traits of soybean, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in 2013 at the research farm of the islamic azad university, ardabil branch. treatments were foliar application of nano-zinc...
