Water use by willow (Salix viminalis L.) was studied in lysimeters containing clay landfill cap and sandy loam soils under different watering and amendment regimes. With plentiful water and amendments, seasonal ET increased annually and was highest in the sandy loam, increasing from 360 l plant(-1) in the establishment year to almost 1200 l plant(-1) in the third year. Seasonal ET was highly co...

Two hybrid poplar (Populus) clones (the fast-growing clone Beaupré (P. trichocarpa Torr. and Gray x P. deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh.) and the slow-growing clone Robusta (P. deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh. x P. nigra L.)) were grown from hardwood cuttings for one or two growing seasons (1993-1994) in either ambient or elevated (= ambient + 350 micro mol mol(-1)) CO(2) in open-top chambers at the Univers...

in order to study of effects of deficit irrigation on morphological traits and growth indices variation of corn forage (sc. 704) in rasht region, an experiment based on randomized complete design with four treatments and three replication was conducted in 2007 growing season, at research farm of faculty of agriculture, university of guilan. experimental treatments consisted of: no-irrigation, 1...

in order to study the effects of nitrogen and phosphorous application on yield and physiological parameters of sugar beet polygerm seed (cv. 7233), this study was conductedin 2000-2001 in ardabil agricultural research station (alarough). the experiment was carried out with two factors including nitrogen in 4 levels (0 as control, 100, 200 and 300 kg n/ha) and phosphorous in 3 levels (0 as contr...

Plant growth can be studied at different organizational levels, varying from cell, leaf, and shoot to the whole plant. The early growth of seedlings is important for the plant's establishment and its eventual success. Wheat (Triticum aestivum, genome AABBDD) seedlings exhibit a low early growth rate or early vigor. The germplasm of wheat is limited. Wild relatives constitute a source of genetic...

a pot experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with five treatment and five replication, in each replication were 6 plants used. the study of zinc sulphate (znso4) application (20 and 40 ppm) and salicylic acid (sa) application (50 and 150 ppm) was compared to the control (distillated water) on growth and flowering petunia hybrid. for each plant was used 100 cc of solution at ...

this research was carried out on corn in the orzuiyeh region of kerman province over two consecutive seasons (2005-6 to 2007-8). the experiment was done as a split plot with a completely randomized block design and four replications. four levels of consumed water (60%, 80%, 100% water requirement, water use based on regional custom) and three varieties (404sc, 700sc, 704sc) were the main factor...

abstract application of salicylic acid (sa) as a phytohormone has been increased due to its role in plant tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought. the main goal of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of sa on morphological and physiological characteristics of cucumber seedlings under drought stress. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized block design was condu...
