in order to examine the effects of biological and chemical fertilizers with the use of salicylic acid on the agronomic characteristics of corn as a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station in 2011 was boroujerd. factors examined included three levels of phosphorus fertilizer (0, 100 and 150 kg ha), two levels of biolog...

The cultivation of soybean in Brazil experienced an expressive growth in the last decades. Soybean is highly demanding on nitrogen (N) that must come from fertilizers or from biological fixation. The N supply to the soybean crop in Brazil relies on the inoculation with elite strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, B. elkanii, and B. diazoefficiens, which are able to fulfill the crop's N requiremen...

Mineral oil, peanut oil and soybean oil were compared with water and gum arabic for their suitability as adhesives for seed inoculation with peat inoculants. Inoculated seeds were stored at 4, 28 and 34°C, and sampled after 1, 3 and 9 days to determine the survival of rhizobia. Germination and nodulation tests were performed on the inoculated seeds. Results showed that oils were suitable adhesi...

one of the strategies for improving the quality of agricultural products is using bio-fertilizers. so in order to study the effects of mycorrhizal fungi, vermicompost and humic acid on growth characteristics and yield of fennel, an experiment was studied on research farm of agricultural college of shahrood university. this study was conducted as factorial experiment based on completely randomiz...

Wild Cardon cactus seeds were inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense strains Cd and Sp-245 to improve seed germination and seedling growth parameters. Differential germination responses were related to the bacterial strain. A. brasilense Cd (the type strain for the species A. brasilense) significantly decreased seed germination. A. brasilense Sp245 (a known beneficial bacteria for cereal plant...

Effective adjuvants are needed to design effective vaccines against Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct). The aim of this study was to observe the immune response stimulated by inoculation of a DNA vaccine encoding a fusion protein comprising multiple Ct major outer membrane protein (MOMP) epitopes and human papillomavirus 6b L1 (HPV 6b L1) as the basis for designing a novel DNA vaccine against genital C...
