Although application of Zn combined with macronutrients (K, P, and N) can be used to fortify wheat grain with Zn, little is known about their interactions when foliar application is employed or the influences of common soil fertility management practices (e.g. N and straw management) on their efficiency. Therefore, the effects of foliar-applied Zn and N, P, or K on grain nutritional quality (es...

tuberose (polianthes tuberosa l.) is one of the most important cut flowers in iran. this research was conducted to investigate the effects of spraying a mixture of amino acids on the physiological and morphological characteristics of tuberose. the experiment was carried out in two successive years (2009 and 2010) using two tuberose cultivars ‘dezfuli’ and ‘mahallati’. the experiment was arrange...

this study was conducted under ahvaz, iran environmental condition during 2012 and 2013 growing seasons in order to investigate the influence of foliar application of potassium on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of three olive cultivars including ‘mission’, ‘koroneiki’ and ‘dezfuli’. potassium sulfate in different concentrations of 0, 1, and 2 g l-1 was sprayed twice on selec...

background: summer savory (satureja hortensis l.) is one of the most important medicinal and spice plants cultivated in many parts of the world. objective: a greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of feso4 and citric acid application on the morphological traits and essential oil content and its component, gamma-terpinene in s. hortensis. methods: feso4 in four levels (0, 3, 4 ...

background: biostimulants are amino acids and organic components, which can play main role in the plant growth and dry matter accumulation. objective: determine the influence of foliar application of active amino acids on quality and quantity yield of melissa officinalis l. methods: this study was conducted in a research farm at the institute of medicinal plants on the base of randomized comple...

an experiment was conducted to study wheat grain protein increasing through foliar application of nitrogen afterflowering. the rcbd design was analysed with three replications and four n-treatments as foliar application as(n0=0, n1=4kg.ha-1 urea, n2=8kg.ha-1 urea, n3=4kg.ha-1 ammonium sulfate). results showed that seed proteincontent increased significantly by foliar application of nitrogen. da...

abstract balanced nutrition and soil organic mater are among most important factors affecting yield and quality of grape (vitis vinifera cv.peykani). humic acid as an organic acid derived from humus and other organic sources, in accompany with zinc, and acetic acid can reduce deficiency symptoms in grape. to study the effects of zinc, humic acid and acetic acid on yield and yield components, an...

We administered foliar applications of 50, 100, and 200 mg L-1 selenium (Se, selenite) on turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa Linn.) and detected the changes in the main nutrient components in fleshy roots. Results showed that the foliar application of Se (IV) significantly increased the Se content in turnip, and Se (IV) positively affected the uptake of several mineral elements, including magnesiu...

Background & Aim:Jasmonic acid (JA) is regarded as endogenous regulators that play important roles in regulating stress responses, plant growth and development.Effect of foliar application of JA on the essential oil and oil chemical components of hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.) were investigated. Experimental:  This study conducted in a CRD with three replications and in experimental...
