An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of co-inoculation with Rhizobium and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on chickpea growth under rain-fed and irrigated conditions. Treatments included ...

Quinoa (Chenepodium quinoa Willd.) is a grain-like crop which has a high potential of crop yield under arid environments. The objective of this study was to evaluate the responses of seed germination rate and ...

The short arm of 1RS rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosome carrying genes involved in resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses provided a valuable source in developing new bread wheat (Triticum aestivium ...

Prangos ferulacea is a plant from the umbeliferae family that is propagated by seed germination. In order to investigate the effects of seed ripening and germination temperature on germination ...

A thermal time (TT) model was developed to simulate field emergence of two weed species (flixweed and wild oat) in winter rapeseed. Practical predictive weed emergence models can provide information about timing of weed ...

This study aimed to examine dormancy-breaking of jimsonweed seeds. Seeds were collected from Hamedan. They were subjected to different treatments: (a) concentrated sulfuric acid for 1, 1.5, and 2 min; (b) hot water at 80°C ...

To study the effects of phosphate and zinc sulfate fertilizers application methods on water use efficiency and qualitative characteristics of corn underwater stress, an experiment was conducted in split plot factorial ...

Drought stress adversely affects a plant's growth and productivity. Wide ranges of molecular disorders could be caused by the production of reactive oxygen radicals. Plant cells have developed potential systems to prevent ...

Quality of seed as a propagating organ and the most valuable input to produce crops is highly important in agriculture. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare the effects of storage temperature (15, 20 and 25 °C) ...
