this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, metabolizable energy, digestibility and ability of gas production of poa trivialis. samples was collected at three phenological stages including: vegetative growth, flowering and seedling on two different elevations of 1300 to 1500 m and 2000 to 1800 m asl in neor and hir region as the first and second sites, respectively. testing ...

The cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae L. (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a perennial pest that specializes on plants of the Brassicaceae family, attacking winter canola (Brassica napus L.) mainly during and after flowering. Under field conditions, cabbage aphid colonizes the upper flowering canopy. Population dynamics of aphids in the flowering canopy could be regulated by differences in either p...

Sudan is a large country with an area of 1.88 million Km2, and has the second largest animal population in Africa consisting of 52.08 million sheep, 43.44 million goats, 41.76 million cattle and 4.62 million camels (MARF, 2013). The majority of animal wealth is concentrated in western Sudan (40%), followed by central Sudan (23%) (MARF, 2011). Minerals are divided into two groups, macro-minerals...

Greenhouse-grown oilseed rape (Brassica napus, annual Canola variety ;Westar') plants were harvested at six dates from the vegetative phase until the early pod (silique)-fill/late flowering stage. Endogenous gibberellin (GA)-like substances were extracted from stems, purified, and chromatographed on silica gel partition columns prior to bioassay in serial dilution using the ;Tan-ginbozu' dwarf ...

in order to investigate drought stress and plant density the yield, yield components and protein of spotted bean grain (cultivar talash), an experiment was carried out as split plots in randomized complete blocks with three replications in yasouj, in 2012. factors of the test including irrigation in three levels; without stress (control treatment), water stress in vegetative stage (interrupting...

Background and objectives: Plant extracts and their constituents are known to exert biological effects, especially antioxidant activity. Fumaria vaillantii (Fumariaceae) has several therapeutic effects in traditional medicine. Antioxidants are able to protect the human body from oxidative damage connected to the reaction of free radicals. Synthetic antioxidants have to...

artemisia annua is a medicinal annual herb that widely distributed in asia, europ, north america, and also is grown in north reagions of iran. in this study, variation in the quantity and quality of the essential oil of a.annua apical shoots at different developmental stages including vegetative, early flower opening and full flowering stages is reported. the obtained oils by hydrodistilation o...

this research was done in hydroponic environment in greenhouse at 3 stages (vegetative, flowering and full product) in 5 concentrations of cd (0.1, 0.3, 0.9, 2.7, and 10 mm) for investigating physiological and biological effects. this study revealed that the increase of cd concentration in understudy treatments causes the 49% reduction of sugar solution in 10 mm treatment. on the other hand, th...
