This study was done to evaluate the effect of different planting arrangements (square, lozenge and rectangular) and various concentrations of potassium sulfate (K2SO4) fertilizer (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg/ha) on yield and essential oils quantitative of Calendula officinalis L., a medicinal and ornamental plant. The experiment was done as a factorial in randomized completely blocks design (R.C.B.D...

in order to determinate appropriate stability parameters, six statistics were studied for flower yield stability of 35 rosa damascena landraces in 8 locations over two years (2007-8) in iran, using a randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications. a positive correlation between environmental variance (s2) and flower yield suggested that only low yield landraces develop a similar phenotyp...

in order to evaluate effects of water stress and foliar application humic acid on quantities and qualitative in borage, a field experiment was conducted as a split plots design with three replication in 2012 at agricultural research station, university of zabol. water stress treatments included control or 90 percent of field capacity (w1), 70 percent field capacity (w2) and 50 percent field cap...

abstract rosa damascena has attracted considerable attention in horticulture, biochemistry and in pharmacology because of the fragrance of the flowers and the high content of its bio-logically active substances. there is limited information available on factors controlling flower yield and its components. the present study reports an investigation on flower yield and the various factors affect...

intercropping systems lead to reduce weeds population and their biomass. in order to study effect of marigold (calendula officinalis) and mungbean (vigna radiata) intercropping in different sowing times on yield and weeds control a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design was performed in islamic azad university, tabriz branch, iran, during 2012 in three replications. stud...

In the area of agricultural field, the accurate forecasting of the yield and their estimation from the raw data are playing the important role in the planning of various aspects of agricultural production. In this paper an attempt has been made to estimate flower yield which helps in providing the knowledge so that it creates the base for flower marketing and its management. The main aim of thi...

studies on crop improvement of saffron (crocus sativus l.) can play an important role in development of this native crop. in this context, an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, as a factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications, during 2005-2010 years. first studied factor was planting pattern of saffron...

The effects of two different harvest stages (full flowering and full podding) on forage yield and quality of ten forage rape (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera) and three turnip (Brassica rapa L. var. rapa) cultivars were evaluated under rainfed conditions in a Mediterranean type climate at Bursa, Turkey, during the 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 growing seasons. Plant height, branches per plant, leaf l...

this study was carried out to investigate flower yield and yield components in iranian rosa damascena using 20 genotypes, collected from different regions of iran and grown in drylands and deserts research station of kashan, iran, using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2007-2008. flower yield per plant, number of flowers per plant, plant height, leaf length, width, ...

background and objectives: drought is one of the most important factor limiting plant growth around the world and the most common environmental stress which is limited produce approximately 25% of the world's land. production of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants changes by environmental condition and also water stress is effective factor in growth and synthesis natural compounds in...
