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...

In acid soils, Al toxicity and nutrient deficiencies are main constraints for low yield of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.). A controlled growth chamber experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of three Al saturations (0.2, 19, and 26%) adjusted by addition of dolomitic lime on growth and nutrient uptake parameters of cacao. Overall, increasing soil Al saturation decreased shoot and root dry w...

to study the effects of foliar application of common and nano-sized iron sulphate on five sunflower cultivars (alster, olsion, hysun36, yourflour and hysun33) under two levels of salinity (0 and 100 mm nacl), a pot experiment in factorial based using a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted. plant height, leaf area, shoot weight, chlorophyll content and the conce...

In this research, the response of shoot and root of two cultivars of soybean (Glycine max L. cvs Gorgan 3 & Williams) to mild and severe drought was evaluated in pot. Two weeks after of planting, three irrigation treatments including every day (as control), once in three (as mild stress) and five days (as severe stress) were used. The results showed that, stem dry weight, stem and root length, ...

this study investigated intra-specific variation in the growth parameters and dry mat-ter partitioning of sugar beet cultivars at different levels of salinity (0, 50, 150, 250 and 350 mm nacl + cacl2 in 5:1 molar ratio) using four cvs, one british (madison) and three iranian cvs (7233-p12, 7233-p21 and 7233-p29). the plants were grown in a controlled greenhouse environment for about 18 weeks. a...
