We developed an equation for estimating Arundo donax shoot dry weight from shoot length. The equation, shoot dry weight (g) = 14.254 (standard error = 0.275) shoot height (m), was as effective at explaining a high proportion of total variation in shoot dry weight (R = 0.90) as more complicated equations containing additional morphometric parameters. Tested against two independent datasets, the ...

a greengouse experiment was conducted to evaluation of salinity stress on growth parameters of two olive cultivars during 2013-2014 at agricultural and natural resources research center of tehran. in the experiment, effects of five levels of irrigation water salinity including 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 ds.m-1 were evaluated on ʻzardʼ and ʻmissionʼ olive cultivars under soilless culture. data showed th...

According to the importance and diversity of Chenopodium album, Cynodon dactylon and Amaranthus retroflexus in safflower fields and significant role of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) as an oil seed, an experiment was conducted using CRD based factorial design with three replications to study the allelopathic effects of root and shoot extracts of these weeds on germination and early growth ...

in the present study, effect of five isolates of trichoderma harzianum on growth parameters of tomato was carried out as cr design with six replications under greenhouse conditions. the concentrations 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% inoculums per pot were used. plant length, shoot and root fresh/dry weight, number of leaves and stem diameter as growth parameters were measured. the results showed that isolate...

Plant growth regulators, especially those applied directly to the root system, are thought to significantly reduce growth of the root systems. Various perennials were treated with uniconazole (Concise, Fine Americas, Inc.) to evaluate effects on plant height as well as shoot and root dry weights. Plant height of Lobelia cardinalis was not affected by a 1 ppm uniconazole liner dip, but shoot dry...

Due to the lack of scientific knowledge for the use of substrate and best fertilizing method in the growth of Araucaria excelsa, it is crucially important to find the most appropriate planting substrate and fertilizing method. The effect of conventional fertilizing method and the application of Fe nanofertilizer were studied on the growth of A. excelsa in which six fertilizing methods and three...
