In order to study the allelopathic potential of six medicinal plants Valeriana officinalis, Rosmarinus officinalis, Artemisia absinthium, Melissa officinalis, Juglans regia, Dracocephalum kotschyi on Beta vulgaris and its two important weeds (Convolvolus arvensis and Avena fatua) and also to find a model of natural herbicides, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete bl...

Drought has adverse effects on plant growth and production. Plants respond to drought stress through biochemical and physiological processes. In the present study, physiological responses of two cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) ecotypes including Ravar and Gonbad, which belong to dry and sub-humid regions of Iran, respectively, were evaluated in a split-plot factorial experiment with three replicatio...

Salinity of water irrigation and soil are of the major factors affecting plant growth and productivity worldwide. In this research the effects of salicylic acid on some morpho-physiological and biochemical characteristics of walnut (Juglans regia) seedlings under salinity stress condition were studied. The experiment was a two-factor factorial experiment arranged in completely randomized design...

Sesame is one of the oldest crops in the world that is commonly cultivated in arid and semi-arid due to high oil seeds (42-52%). In order to determine the effects of water deficit (55, 75 and 85 percent evacuation of soil water) on genotype sesame (Varamin, Naztakshakhe, Oltan and Yekta), a field experiment was conducted using a split-plot in randomized complete design with three replication at...

Mushrooms are characterized by a very short shelf life and browning, weight-loss and microbial infections are known as the most deteriorating postharvest modifications in the mushrooms, leading to notable economic losses. In this study, the effects of some postharvest treatments including calcium chloride (0.30 and 0.45%), ascorbic acid (1, 2 and 3 mM) and hydrogen peroxide (1%) on increasing m...

Biochar is a carbon rich product which created under low Oxygen conditions. In this study the effect of Biochar in three levels 0, 0.5 and 1 weight percentage on morphological traits like height, SLA, aboveground and underground biomass, length and volume of root and physiological characteristics such as chlorophylls, gas exchange and electrolyte leakage for two Bromus tomentellus and Medicago ...
