Effects of atmospheric humidity and soil moisture content on the relative intensity of chlorophyll fluorescence of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) exposed to high air temperatures were assessed as a measure of heat stress or injury. 1. After exposure to 25 •Ž (control) and 42•‹, 44•‹ and 46•Ž for two to three hours, the intensity of fluorescence decreased a little at 42•‹ and 44•Ž but markedly at...

conclusions the results showed that the heat stress increased by increasing air velocity and humidity in both groups. the air velocity with high humidity can be considered as a positive factor in the occurrence of heat strain. therefore, the incidence of heat stress decreases with the increase of humidity and reduction of air velocity or with increase of air velocity and reduction of humidity i...

to study the effect of humic acid and drought stress on some physiological characteristics of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa) an experiment was conducted in the research field of agricultural education centre of jiroft in 2013. field experiment was carried out as split plot design with three replications. water deficit stress as main factor with three levels (a1 = irrigation after 50, a2 = 100 an...
