azospirillum is a well-studied genus of plant growth-promoting bacteria. phytohormone production by pgpr is considered as one of the effective factor to increase the tomato yield significantly. in order to study the effect of azospirillum inoculant on on growth characteristics and yields of tomato, three strain of azospirillum were isolated, identified, and purified from tehran suburb soils. to...

partial rootzone drying (prd) is a new irrigation technique which improves water use efficiency without significant yield reduction in grape. to study the effects of partial rootzone drying and green pruning on yield and yield quality of thompson seedless grape a split plot experiment with randomized complete block design and three replications was conducted. the experiment was performed in tak...

Humic acid (HA), not only promote the growth of crop roots, they can be combined with nitrogen (N) to increase fertilizer use efficiency and yield. However, the effects of HA urea fertilizer (HA-N) on root growth and yield of sweet potato has not been widely investigated. Xushu 28 was used as the experimental crop to investigate the effects of HA-N on root morphology, active oxygen metabolism a...

Using optical-scanner (OPTOCOM) and radiogrammetric measurements on mandibular permanent teeth, root length alone affords sex-discriminatory effectiveness equal to or exceeding conventional crown diameters. Combinations of root length and crown dimensions yield up to 80% accuracy in sexing with as few as two teeth, and discriminatory effectiveness of 87% with mandibular teeth alone.

Studies were conducted in early 2003 to determine the effect of root source and length on yield of adventitious shoots and plant yield from root cuttings of Arkansas-developed thornless blackberries. In the first study, roots from ‘Arapaho’ and ‘Apache’ plants grown in an aboveground bed containing commercial potting soil were compared to field-grown roots. Bed-grown roots averaged 6.9 shoots p...

The effect of four different levels of irrigation periods, including normal irrigation, irrigation after 100, 150, and 200mm evaporation, with three different bio-fertilizer including control, Mycorrhiza, and Rhizobium were investigated on morphological and yield traits of guar. The experiment was conduct in form of split-plot design with irrigation periods as main plots and bio-fertilizers as ...
