The treatments included INp (0, 20, 40 and 60 ppm) and putrescine (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mM). Variance analysis showed that the factors were significant on the amount of photosynthetic pigments and morphological traits. The results of the comparison of the simple effect of the treatments showed that the highest amount of chlorophyll a and carotenoid was in the vegetative stage and carotenoid in the reproductive stage at 60 ppm of INp and the highest amount of chlorophyll a at 1 mM Pu and the highest am ount of carotenoid at 1.5 mM Pu. The highest amounts of chlorophyll b and total pigments were observed in the vegetative stage in the treatment combination of 40 ppm INp with 1.5 mM Pu and in the reproductive stage in the treatment combination of 60 ppm INp with 1 mM Pu. The highest amount of yield, number of seeds per capsule and also, the high value of 1000 seed weight and plant height were observed in the treatment combination of 40 ppm INp with 1 mM Pu. In general, the interaction effect of 60 ppm of INp and different concentration of Pu had the best results, and the spraying of these stimulants can improve the yield of the Camelina plant.

The experimental treatments include the application of soil amendments at eight levels of control or non use of amendments, biochar, silicon nanoparticles, zinc nanoparticles, biochar + silicon nanoparticles, biochar + zinc nanoparticles, silicon nanoparticles + zinc nanoparticles, and the application of biochar + silicon nanoparticles + zinc nanoparticles. The results indicated that the application of all soil amendments improved the yield components, yield and oil content of rapeseed compared with the control treatment or non-use of amendments. In general, the combined application of amendments had better impacts on the studied traits than the individual application of each amendment. Also, among the individual treatments, the application of zinc oxide nanoparticles had the greatest effect in improving yield components and seed yield. The highest plant height (144.33 cm), number of silique per plant (240) and seed yield (3263.7 kg.ha-1) were obtained when all three amendments were used simultaneously. No statistically significant difference was observed between individual and combined treatments of amendments in terms of seed oil content. According to the results of the present study, the simultaneous use of soil amendments can have an effective role in improving the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of rapeseed.

For this purpose, a field study was conducted in the educational farm of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in the crop year of 2014 in the form of two separate experiments for two forage corn plants KS260 and forage sorghum of Speedfeed in factorial form in the form of a randomized complete block design with 3 replicates. The first treatment was irrigation levels of 65%, 75%, 85% and 100% of the percentage of water requirement of the reference plant (evaporation pan)and the second treatment was weed control management (weeding and not weeding). In this project, the growth indices of corn and sorghum were measured and the effect of different levels of irrigation on these indices was investigated. the lowest yield of wet and dry fodder was observed in corn and sorghum under extreme water deficit conditions., Weeding corn and sorghum fields increased about 35% of fresh and dry weight of corn fodder and 25% increase of fresh weight of fodder and 100% of dry weight of sorghum fodder. Weeding in all conditions reduces the competition of these species with crops and increases the growth indicators of forage, including leaf surface durability (49% corn and 11% sorghum), relative growth rate (9% corn and 22% sorghum). , net growth rate (23% corn and 25% sorghum) and height (12% corn and 15% sorghum).

Mehregan), a research was conducted in 2015 cropping season in south west of Iran. The study was consisted of a strip-plot experiment, using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The investigated treatments included tillage in three levels (including conventional tillage, protective tillage and no tillage) as horizontal plots and plant residues in three levels (including zero, 30 and 60% wheat residues) as vertical plots. The results showed that the tillage treatment had significant effect on yield and yield components, harvest index, percentage and yield of protein. The highest grain yield (with an average of 477.5g.m-2) was obtained from the conservation tillage treatment and the lowest (with an average of 340.3g.m-2) from the no-tillage treatment. Also, the application of plant residues significantly affected yield and yield components, biological yield, harvest index, percentage and yield of protein. The highest grain yield (with an average of 480.7g.m-2) was obtained in the conservation tillage method with the application of 30% residues on the soil surface. Based on the results and considering the positive effects of conservation tillage method, it was suggested to use 30% of residues in this tillage method in Izeh region in order to increase wheat yield.

The experiment was cconducted as a split-plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The experimental treatments include the application of organic and chemical fertilizers at four levels (control, manure, vermicompost and chemical fertilizer) as the main plot and silicon at three levels (control, potassium silicate and nano-Si) were considered as sub plot. The results indicated that the most growth characteristics like plant height, number of flowers per plant and leaf area were obtained by chemical fertilizer. The highest dry weight of plant organ was achieved with use of chemical fertilizers. The highest dry weight of flowers (429.3 g.m-2) was obtained by chemical fertilizer, which was not significantly different from the use of vermicompost (417.3 g.m-2). The application of both sources of silicon led to improvement in the number of flowers per plant, leaf area, and concentration of chlorophylls compared with control, although the application of nano-Si had higher improvement effects compared with potassium silicate. The nano-Si increased the dry weight of flowers by 9.6 and 7.4% compared with non-application of silicon and potassium silicate, respectively. Therefore, according to the findings of the present study, application of vermicompost organic fertilizer is introduced as a suitable alternative to chemical fertilizers, as well as nano-Si application to improve the morpho-physiological characteristics and yield of purple coneflower.

Plant spacing (40, 50, 60 and 70 cm) and four watermelon cultivars (Patangra, Favorite, CrimsonPS and CrimsonG-53 were divided into main and sub-plots, respectively. There was a significant effect on the studied traits except the thickness of the fruit skin, so that the number of fruits and yield decreased significantly with increasing plant distance on the planting line; The highest values of these traits were 0.99 and 23.82 tons.hectare-1 at a distance of 40 cm, respectively. But the quality and appearance of the fruit at a distance of 70 cm had its highest value. Increasing the culture distance from 40 to 70 cm increased the amount of soluble solids by 12%. The studied cultivars were significantly different in all traits except Brix. CrimsonPS and CrimsonG cultivars had the highest yields during the two years of testing at 22.50 and 20.76 tons per hectare, respectively. CrimsonPS cultivar was relatively superior to other cultivars in terms of most of the studied traits, and this ultimately led to the highest yield per unit area. Path analysis showed that in different cultivation densities, fruit number and single fruit weight had the greatest effect on fruit yield; These two traits were selected as the most important traits in determining fruit yield.

Experimental cultivars MoreIn order to investigate the effects of grain growth characteristic and yield components on grain yield of wheat cultivars, an experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design with three replications at Golestan province in 2008-2009. Experimental cultivars were Inia, Khazar 1, Golestan, Tajan, Atrak, Pastor, Darya, Zagros, Falat and Kohdasht. Pastor cultivar had maximum and Inia cultivar had minimum numbers of grain per spike. The highest seed yield belonged to Golestan, Falat, Atrak, Pastor and Darya and the lowest seed yield were seen in Inia cultivars. The highest and lowest grain harvest index was related to Falat Cultivar (46/8 percent) and Tajan cultivar (33/8percent) respectively. Filling grain period and grain number per spike had positive correlation with grain yield. Therefore, it seems that increasing sink strength by increasing the number of seed per spike and grain filling rate can lead to an increase in the yield of wheat cultivars. Manuscript profile -

Experimental treatments consisted of four different levels of sulfur coated urea (SCU) (0, 150, 180 and 250 kg.ha-1). The use of herbal treatments of chloropyralide + Des Modifam + Moeifam + Autophamousite and metamitron + Modifem + Autophamousite as a sub-agent. The results showed that weed dry weight was affected by different amounts of urea with sulfur coating and increased with increasing sulfur content of urea, which increased the weed weight of weeds, so that it was highest in application of the highest amount of urea with sulfur content per hectare with no weeding of weeds. The amount of 237 grams per square meter was obtained. Also, in the effects of fertilizer interaction and weed control, the highest yield of sugar beet (13421 kg) was attributed to full weed treatment and the highest application rate of sulfuric urea. The highest root yield of sugar beet (57004 kg ha-1) was related to weed control and application of the highest amount of sulfur urea. Among the weed control treatments, the highest root yield of sugar beet (46711 kg.ha-1) was obtained in metamitron + Des medifam + Autophamousite herbicide application and application of the highest amount of urea with sulfur content per hectare. Also, the highest percentage of pure sugar in the treatment of non-application of sulfur content of urea with non-control of weeds was 18.6% and 20.30%, respectively. In general, it can be said that Urea fertilizer with sulfur coating with the use of Médifam + Des Moiifam + Autophamousite + Metamitron has the optimum performance of sugar beet. Manuscript profile -
