in order to study the effects of micronutrients application on some morphological traits associated with seed quantity and quality of sugar beet cultivar shirin, an experiment was conducted in 2001-02 at ardabil agricultural research station. based on soil test results, soil ph was 7.62-7.80 with 0.49- 0.53% organic matter content, and the quantity of absorbable p, total n, and k amounts were f...

Abstract Seed physiology of 15 Eucalyptus species interest for cut foliage plantations was unknown and therefore evaluated. The viability vigour seeds germination potential determined by using a tetrazolium (TZ) staining test, the results were compared to test. In separate experiment, each lot subjected either 0 or 4-week cold stratification at 4 ± 1 °C investigate their requirement. After stra...

Alternaria dauci (J.G. Kühn) J.W. Groves et Skolko and A. radicina Meier, Drechsler E.D. Eddy are important seed-transmitted pathogens of carrot. The aim this study was to evaluate the effects acetic acid treatments on quality stored carrot seeds. Seeds two samples were soaked for 30 min in 0.5, 1 2% acid. Controls included untreated seeds, seeds distilled water treated with fungicide Zaprawa N...

Timely harvest is critical to achieve maximum seed viability and vigour in agricultural production. However, little information exists concerning how to reap the best quality seeds of Leymus chinensis, which is the dominant and most promising grass species in the Songnen Grassland of Northern China. The objective of this study was to investigate and evaluate possible quality indices of the seed...

Effects of accelerated aging and seed priming treatments were studied on milk thistle seeds during germination process. Experiment was performed in a factorial based on Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Treatments were Salicylic acid concentrations (0, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 ppm) and accelerated aging for (0, 48, 96 and 144 hours under 45 °C and 95% humidity) with three replications. Our ...
