abstract soil microbiological criteria are a complex reflection of interactive metabolic processes that may not be evaluated only by measuring a single parameter but rather it requires the simultaneous determination of more parameters and combining them. the objective of this research was to study enzyme activities: microbial biomass carbon ratios in salinized and none-saline soils in the prese...

Boron (B) is essential to growth at low concentrations and limits growth and yield when in excess. Little is known regarding plant response to excess B and salinity occurring simultaneously. In this study, two models of Leibig-Sprengel (LS) and Mitscherlich-Baule (MB), originally proposed to explain plant response to nutrients only, were modified to evaluate canola yield response to combined le...

to investigate effects of temperature and salinity different levels on germination parameters of german chamomile (matricaria chamomilla), an experiment carried out in complete randomized design as factorial with three replication in department of agronomy, college of agriculture on the university of guilan, in 2014. treatments were including temperature levels (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 oc)...

The effect of continuous or gradual stress due to NaCl on in vitro growth, proline and sugar accumulation and nutrient acquisition of trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.) explants was studied. Apical shoot tips obtained from previous subculture were transferred to a Murashige and Skoog nutrient medium for proliferation and were exposed to continuous or gradual salinity stress for 4...

introduction: fao aquacrop model (raes et al., 2009a; steduto et al., 2009) is a user-friendly and practitioner oriented type of model, because it maintains an optimal balance between accuracy, robustness, and simplicity; and it requires a relatively small number of model input parameters. the fao aquacrop model predicts crop productivity, water requirement, and water use efficiency under water...

Considering forage grass species, germination is one of the important stagesconcerning the growing stage that is often influenced by environmental stresses,particularly salinity and drought stresses. Thus, this study aims to assess the effects ofsalinity and drought stresses on germination characteristics and seedling growth of desertwheatgrass, Agropyron desertorum (Fisch. ex Link) Schult. in ...
