use poor quality resources of water and soil for food production in developing countries must be considered. therefore, three experiments were conduct in complete randomize design with four replications, to study effects of gradually application of different salinity levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ds.m-1) at different growth stages (planting and early seedling) and gradually application s...

abstract suitable seedling is one of the most important factors of onion growth and yield in transplanting method (tm). in order to investigation effects of different seedling size and age on marketable yield , biological yield, harvest index and some qualitative characters in onion an experiment was couducted at the agricultural research center of east azarbayjan in 2008. the factorial was con...

in order to the study of the salinity effects on seed germination and effecting parameter of fennel (foeniculum vulgare) was conducted a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with two factors and three replications. factor a was 10 ecotypes, including; sardasht, saghghez, kerman, tabriz,sabzevar, rome, khusf, bojnoord, mashhad and shabestar and factor b was five concentrations ...

Garden orache (Atriplex hortensis L.), a halophytic forb in the family Chenopodiaceae, is well adapted to dry saline habitats. Here, we presented the results of the effect of salinity and seed weight on seed germination and radicle emergence of A. hortensis. Highest germination percentages were obtained under non-saline conditions and increases in salinity inhibited seed germination with less t...

An experiment was conducted at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to study the effect of pre-sowing seed treatment using different combinations of magnetic field intensities and time duration, on germination and seedling attributes in North Indian variety of tomato (var. Pusa Ruby). Seeds were exposed to static magnetic fields (SMF) of strength 50, 100 and 120 mT for 5, 10, 15, 2...

seeds of nine sugar beet lines: five drought tolerant, two susceptible, and two medium tolerant were washed, sterilised, dried, and sown in water agar medium for germination test. seedling growth characters such as cotyledon fresh weight (cfw), cotyledon dry weight (cdw), root fresh weight (rfw), root dry weight (rdw), and root length (rl) were determined after the end of 28 days period of expe...

Phytotoxic activity of Ocimum tenuiflorum (Lamiaceae) plant extracts was investigated against the germination and seedling growth of cress (Lepidium sativum), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), alfalfa (Medicago sativa), Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), and timothy (Phleum pratense) at four different concentrations. The plant extracts at concentrations grea...
