Plant growth results from interaction of roots and shoots with the environment. The environment for roots is the soil or planting medium which provide structural support as well as water and nutrients to the plant. Roots also support the growth and functions of a complex of microorganisms that can have a profound effect on the growth anti survival of plants. These microorganisms constitute rhiz...

Pesticides have played very important roles against food shortages and plant diseases, and our modern life would be vastly different without their use. Weed infestation adversely affects crop production by reducing yields and decreasing market prices of the crop. For cost-effective land use, crop yield and price must be maximized, and the cost of weed control minimized. Herbicides substantially...

introduction: in iran, tuberose is ranked the forth after gladiolus, rose and carnation. these flowers are known as high quality products among which maximum exportation belongs to tuberose and gladiolus. in plant cultivation and development, adequate provision of nutrients is of crucial importance. tuberose needs plenty of nutrients to obtain the desirable quality and flowering. hence, tuberos...

The growing number of biogas plants in Europe has resulted in increased production of nutrient-rich digestate, which has potential as fertiliser on arable land. Many different organic materials can be degraded in the anaerobic digestion process, with most macronutrients and micronutrients retained in the digestate. Depending on the ingoing organic substrate and management of the biogas process,...

background and objectives: suitable tillage methods and planting cover crops are such factors in sustainable agricultural systems, which play an important role in the sustainability of agricultural production systems. minimum and no-tillage systems methods that leave instead of usually more than 30 percent of crop residue on the soil surface, are used to reduce soil erosion, improve soil physic...
