abstract in order to evaluate the effects of rice conventional herbicides on rotational second crops (lettuce, cress, clover, canola and radish), soil microbial biomass and diversity, a field and glasshouse experiments were conducted in mazandaran province and research glasshouse of ferdowsi university of mashhad, respectively. five experiments were carried out for 5 second crop separately with...

In a pot culture experiment, the root length density, potassium concentration in crop, and total K uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum var. HD 2285) at different growth stages (CRIS-Crown Root Initiation Stage, MTS-Maximum Tillering Stage, FLS-Flag Leaf Stage and DFS-Dough Formation Stage) were determined. Wheat crop was grown in 72 pots containing 4.5 kg of three types of soils, namely Alfisol,...

in order to investigate the effects of plant growth promoting bacteria on growth characteristic of wheat, an experiment was conducted at the research greenhouse, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in year 2009. a completely randomized design based on factorial arrangement (3×6) with three replications was used. the first factor consisted of three cultivars of wheat (c...

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...

the development of seminal and lateral root system plays a major role in plant access to water and nutrients under abiotic stress, especially salinity. in order to understand the relation between root growth responsesand shoot physiological indices oftwo bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (kavir and shiraz), a greenhouse experiment was conducted with two salinity levels (0 and ...

The effects of Drought and salinity stress on the growth and chemical compositions pennyroyal(Mentha pulegium L.) plant were investigated. This experiment was carried out in a factorial-randomized design with four replications in controlled conditions and plantlets were subject to four soil moisture regimes (40, 60, 80 and 100 of field capacity (FC)) and five salt treatments with 0, 25...
