  1 - Controlling Ornamental Cabbage and Kale (Brassica oleracea) Growth via Cycocel
  A. Gholampour D. Hashemabadi Sh. Sedaghathoor B. Kaviani
  Chlormequat (cycocel or CCC), the plant growth retardant, was evaluated for its ability to control plant height in Brassica oleracea cultivar ‘Kamome White’ and ‘Nagoya Red’. Different concentrations of CCC (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/L) were spray More

  Chlormequat (cycocel or CCC), the plant growth retardant, was evaluated for its ability to control plant height in Brassica oleracea cultivar ‘Kamome White’ and ‘Nagoya Red’. Different concentrations of CCC (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/L) were sprayed and drenched on plants 40 days after transplanting. Data were recorded the 60 and 90 days after transplanting. The 1500 mg/L of CCC resulted in about 50 and 20% shorter plants than the control plants, 60 and 90 days after transplant, respectively. The growth of Brassica oleracea cultivar ‘Kamome White’ and ‘Nagoya Red’ decreased with increasing the concentration of CCC. Foliar sprays of CCC controlled plant height of both cultivars. The least record of plant height was obtained by application of 1500 mg/L CCC via spraying method in cultivar ‘Kamome White’ after 60 and 90 days (9.94 and 11.59 cm, respectively). The effect of cultivar type has been significant at p£0.01 level on all measured traits. Manuscript profile

  Pot marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) is a medicinal and ornamental plant. The effect of different concentrations of chlormequat (cycocel), and daminozide, two plant growth retardant, on plant height, flowering, the content of essence and some other traits in pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) was assessed. Plant growth retardants are commonly applied to limit stem elongation and produce a more compact plant. The experiment was done as a factorial in randomized completely blocks design (R.C.B.D.) with 16 treatments and 3 replications in Rasht. Cycocel at 4 concentrations (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/L) and daminozide at 4 concentrations (0, 1500, 3000 and 4500 mg/L) were used. Investigated characteristics were plant height, leaf number, flower number, flowering time, fresh weight, dry matter, the content of essence and carotenoid in flowers. Based on analysis of variance (ANOVA), the effect of different treatments and their interaction on most traits was significant at 0.05 level of probability. The minimum height (24 cm/plant) in treatment of 500 mg/L cycocel + 3000 mg/L daminozide, the largest number of flowers (4.66 flowers/plant) in treatment of 1000 mg/L cycocel + 4500 mg/L daminozide and most essence content (0.154 mg/100 g) in treatment of 4500 mg/L daminozide without cycocel were obtained.

  3 - Study some of morpho- physiological characteristics, dry matter remobilization and grain yield of wheat underChlormequat chloride, Zinc sulfate and Nitroxin application

  Abstract Remobilization of reserves from stem during maturity is important in the case of grain yield of wheat under drought stress. Annual field experiments were carried out at two sites: Ilam (52 ◦ 50 N, 1 ◦ 14 W) and Bushehr provinces (45 ◦ 46 N, 03 ◦ 09 E) during 2 More

  Abstract Remobilization of reserves from stem during maturity is important in the case of grain yield of wheat under drought stress. Annual field experiments were carried out at two sites: Ilam (52 ◦ 50 N, 1 ◦ 14 W) and Bushehr provinces (45 ◦ 46 N, 03 ◦ 09 E) during 2013-2014 growing seasons. In these experiments conducted in completely randomized block with three replications, effects of three main factors including two concentration levels of chlormequat chloride (CCC) (0, 2.5 g.lit-1), application of Zinc sulfate (Zn) at the three rates of 0, 25 and 50 kg ha-1 and Nitroxin (Nit), as biofertilizer, (inoculated and non-inoculated seed) investigated on morpho-physiological traits of bread wheat cultivar of Kohdasht. Results showed that CCC application significantly decreased plant height and amount of remobilized stem reserves. Nit inoculation increased plant height, amount of remobilized dry matter (ARDM), and contribution of stem reserves to grain yield production (REP). Zn significantly increased stem dry matter weight. CCC× Zn × Nit interaction for ARDM, REE and REP was found to be significant. The highest amounts of ARDM, REE and REP were obtained from plants of Nit-inoculated seeds applied with 50 kg ha-1 zinc sulfate and with no CCC application. Generally, it seems CCC, Zn and Nit were effectiveness in improvement and increasing grain yield of wheat under dryland farming. Key words: Chlormequat chloride, Zinc sulfate, Nitroxin, wheat, remobilization, grain yield. Manuscript profile

  Application of plant growth regulators is one of the most important methods to reduce the effects of drought stress to obtain suitable growth under water deficit conditions. The currecnt research objective is investigat the effect of cycocel foliar application on alleviation of drought stress concequences on growth traits of barley cv. Kavir .The experiment was conducted as factorial in randomized complete block design with four replications. The experiment treatments included cycocel with concentrations of 500, 1000, 1500 mg/L, drought stress at three levels of normal irrigation, irrigation cut-off in stemming and flowering stage. Drought stress negatively affected all evaluated traits. Cycocel application under drought stress significantly increased yield and yield components and reduced plant height. Foliar application with 1500 mg/L concentration of cycocel caused the plant to be subjected to drought stress. Applying 1500 mg/L cycocel can be recommended to reach optimum grain yield of barley cv. Kavir subjected in drought stress. Manuscript profile
