This experiment was laid out in order to evaluate the effects  of different biofertilizers on yield components of barley. The experiment was a factorial design with three replications. Treatments were three nitrogen biofrtilizers (Nitroksin, Nitrokara and Supernitroplass) and three phosphate  biofrtilizers (Phosphate barvar2, Biozarr and Superplass) with control for them and yield components we...

The Islamic Republic of Iran has a rich agricultural background; agriculture accounts for 10% of the GDP and provides livelihood to about 30% of the population. Efforts to increase farm productivity resulted in importing pesticides with about 3000 tons annually between 2012 and 2014; therefore, there is urgent need for using alternatives such as application of biofertilizers and biopesticides i...

A study was undertaken to determine the effects of different biofertilizers on growth and seed barley, Bahman cultivar in Iran. The trial was laid out in RCBD with split plot arrangement having three replications during 2011-12 and at Boroujerd, Iran. Treatments were three nitrogen biofrtilizers (Nitroksin, Nitrokara and Supernitroplass) and three phosphate  biofrtilizers (Phosphate barvar2, Bi...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of alginate entrapment on fermentation metabolites of Kluyveromyces marxianus grown in agrowastes that served as the liquid culture media. K. marxianus cells entrapped in Na-alginate were prepared using the traditional liquid-droplet-forming method. Whey and pomaces from processed tomatoes, peppers, and grapes were used as the culture media. The...

An experiment was conducted to demonstrate the utility of quantitative fracture flow visualization techniques in the study of entrapped fluid phase (air) dissolution into a flowing phase (water) within a horizontal, transparent, analog rough-walled fracture. The fracture aperture field and phase occupancy were measured using light transmission techniques and then combined to calculate bulk wate...

This study develops a modeling approach for simulating and evaluating entrapped light nonaqueous-phase liquid (light NAPL-LNAPL) dissolution and transport of the solute in a fractured permeable aquifer (FPA). The term FPA refers to an aquifer made of porous blocks of high permeability that embed fractures. The fracture network is part of the domain characterized by high permeability and negligi...

Background and purpose: Synthetic fertilizers damage the environment. Biofertilizers that consist of microorganisms emerge as an environmentally friendly alternative. improve plant growth by mobilizing soil nutrients, triggering hormone synthesis, or competing with pathogenic bacteria. However, biofertilizers often fail due to insufficient colonization roots.Materials methods: To explore dynami...
