Plant growth and development was affected greatly through salinity. Appropriate nutrients application on salinity condition can reduce its harmful effects and increased productivity of salinized soils. A pot experiment was carried out in 2007 in cs Lab., Department of Agronomy, Kyungpook National University, Korea to assess the effects of potassium nitrate on Gycine max (Var. Daewonkong) under ...

Endogenous indoleacetic acid (IAA) levels of Euphorbia esula L. primary root and root buds were examined at three phenologic stages. High performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, using (13)C(6)[benzene ring]-indole-3-acetic acid as internal standard, were used to measure root bud free and bound IAA levels in vegetative, full...

Several species of Phytophthora cause crown and root rot diseases of herbaceous and woody plants. Crown and root rot of pistachio trees cause significant damages in infected orchards. The effect of foliar application with Elite (fosetyl-Al) in 2 and 2.5 g/l was evaluated in greenhouse experiments. The frequency of mortality, fresh and dry weight of roots and shoots, height, intensity of crown r...

seeds of nine sugar beet lines: five drought tolerant, two susceptible, and two medium tolerant were washed, sterilised, dried, and sown in water agar medium for germination test. seedling growth characters such as cotyledon fresh weight (cfw), cotyledon dry weight (cdw), root fresh weight (rfw), root dry weight (rdw), and root length (rl) were determined after the end of 28 days period of expe...

A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of synthetic wastewater containing various concentrations of cadmium and chromium on Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Six month-old seedlings of E. camaldulensis were treated with Cd (II) and Cr (VI) for 18 months. Treatments were; T0: (Tap water, control), T1: 0.05 +1.0 mg L, T2: 0.10+2.0 mg L, T3: 0.20+4.0 mg L and T4: 0.40+8.0 mg L of Cd and Cr ...

This experiment was conducted to determine allopathic effects of Cyperus rotundus extracts on the tomato germination. It was a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications, carried out in the laboratory of the Agricultural College of University Jiroft during 2011. The various test treatments were extracts of Cyperus rotundus taken from aerial organs, root, and com...

To assess the phytotoxicity of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) on seed germination and seedling growth of Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.), experiments were performed in different aqueous concentrations (50, 100 and 150μM) of aforementioned heavy metals over the period of 14 sequential days. The results showed that heavy metals adversely affect the normal gro...
