Soil salinity is a serious environmental problem that has negative impacts on growth and production of plants. On the other hand, application of chitosan has recently been increased to enhance the resistance to different stresses, such as salinity. In order to study the effect of chitosan seed-priming on alleviation of salinity stress in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) a factorial expe...

To study the effects of potassium (K) and drought stress on growth indices and mineral content of safflower leaf, a factorial experiment with 12 treatments and three replications was performed, using a completely randomized design, in the greenhouse of Soil Science Department, Zanjan University, Iran. The experimental treatments were a combination of four levels of K (80,130,180 and 230 mg/kg) ...

Abstract: Temperature is one of the most important factors limiting the production and distribution of olive. Different olive cultivars show diverse responses to low temperature and so, the selection of cold tolerant cultivars is the most effective method to avoid frost damages. The main purpose of this study was to compare freezing tolerance of seven olive cultivars and to investigate the rel...

Water stress is a global crisis and is considered a serious threat for agriculture. Superabsorbent polymers, through improving soil physical conditions, prevent moisture stress in arid and semi-arid areas. To evaluate the effects of a natural superabsorbent (bentonite) and a synthetic superabsorbent (A200) on growth of lettuce, a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four ...

run-out-table (rot) is located between last finishing stand and down coiler in a hot strip mill. as the hot steel strip passes from rot, water jets impact on it from top and bottom and strip temperature decreases approximately from 800-950 °c to 500-750°c. the temperature history that strip experience while passing through rot affects significantly the metallurgical and mechanical properties, s...

In order to investigate the effect of supplementary irrigation on dryland wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted as a factorial in randomized complete block design with three replications during cropping seasons 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. The factors were drought stress levels (dryland and supplemental irrigation) and wheat cultivars (Homa, Sardari, Rijaw, Ouhadi and Azar2). Supplemental ir...

Drought is one of the most important environmental stresses that adversely affect plant growth and crop production will In order to study a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications in greenhouse Ardabil University mohaghegh was conducted in 2013. Treatments were water stress at three levels: 35%, 55% and 75% field capacity and seed inoculated with mycorrhiza growth pro...
