Effect of some soil properties on distribution of Ceratocarpus arenarius and Aristida funiculata in Mardan, Kashan Rangelands - JBES

In order to sustainable use of rangelands, it is necessary to recognize water, soil, and vegetation cover and analyze their relationships. Physical and chemical properties of soil are effective in distribution of plant species in local area. To determine the effects of some soil properties on species distribution of Ceratocarpus arenarius and Aristida funiculata in Mardan summer region of Kashan, three types of vegetative plants were identified including Artemisia aucheri Ceratocarpus arenarius, Artemisia aucheri-Eryngium bungei and Artemisia aucheri - Aristida funiculata. Then data of 20 plots were collected for each type in the desert.
After drilling 27 soil profiles and providing samples of 0-30 and 30-60 cm from soil depth, pH, EC, CaCO3, organic carbon, CaSO4, and gravel parameters and distribution of soil grain were determined in the laboratory. One-way analysis of variance was made using SPSS software. Analysis of variance showed that clay and CaCO3 in the soil first depth and CaCO3 and Gravel% in the soil second depth have significant differences in three vegetation types. Then to determine parameters affecting on separating vegetation types, principal components analysis was performed on 17 variables (16 soil variables and slope percentage) using PC-ORD software. Results of PCA indicated that in the first axis slope%, clay in the second depth and CaCO3 and sand in the first depth, explain 61% of the variations and for the second axis included sand in the second depth and electrical conductivity and organic matter in the first depth, explain 38% of the variations.
The results of the research show that Ceratocarpus arenarius was more dispersion in areas where the lower and upper layers of soil had less clay and CaCO3 and Aristida funiculata is seen in lower layers of soil having more clay and more CaCo3 and less organic carbon and EC in upper soil layers.

Study of relationship between grain yield and yield components using multivariate analysis in barley cultivars (Hordeum vulgare L.)

This experiment was performed to evaluate the correlation between grain yield and other characteristics of 20cultivars and advanced breeding lines of barley in the Research Station, Agricultural collage, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replications. Biological and grain yields and yield component were measured. Genotypic and phenotypic variation, mean comparison, correlation coefficient, regression and Path analysis were used for analysis of data.
The Path analysis showed that the effects of spikes per square meter, kernel weight on grain yield were significantly different (p ≤0.01) . Also the results showed spikes per square meter had a negative correlation with kernels per spike and kernel weight.
Regression analysis confirmed that kernel per spike is the most important yield component and increasing it can be improved the grain yield.

Evaluation of biofertilizer effect on selective soybean herbicides efficiency to control of Xanthium spinosom and Datura stramonium























This experiment was conducted during 2009 growing season as split plot with randomized complete block (RCBD) design arrangement in a field of Faculty of Agriculture, Islamic Azad University, Karaj branch, Iran. Treating or not treating with biofeltilizer (Bradyrhizobium japonicum) was the main treatments. The sub-treatments were application of herbicides consisted of trifluralin, ethalfluralin, metribuzine, oxyflorfen, bentazon, aciflourfen+bentazon respectively at 1.2, 1.16, 0.35, 0.48, 1.2, 1.06 kg ha- and weedy check. In this research, application of biofertilizer on efficiency of some herbicides was
effective in decreasing weeds dry weight.
The biomass of cocklebur (Xanthium spinosom) in treatments trifluralin, ethalfluralin, aciflurfen+bentazon or bentazon, was significantly less than weedy check, but oxyflorfen and metribuzin had no significant effect on the biomass of this weed. However, the herbicides, compared with weedy check, had no significant effect on the density of cocklebur. All herbicides, compared with weedy check, significantly reduced the density and biomass of jimsonweed (Datura stramonium).
Regard less of statistic analysis, the mean biomass of jimsonweed in the treatment of aciflourfen+bentazon was less than the other treatments. Application of aciflourfen+bentazon, bentazon compared with weedy check resulted in significant grain weight of soybean. Compared with weedy check, all treatment except oxyflorfen, increased soybean 1000-grain weight. Although the soybean 1000-grain weight in the treatment saciflourfen +bentazon, bentazon and ethalfluralin was higher than other treatment, but these treatments were not significantly different from metribuzin and ethalfluralin.

Response of maize (Zea mays L.) to sodium chloride concentrations at early growth stages - IJAAR

  • Y. Abdellatif Idris*, Siddig A.M. Ali

  • Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zalingei, Sudan
The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of NaCl concentrations on seed germination and seedling growth of maize (Zea mays L.). Laboratory and pot experiments were conducted in 2014 using maize seeds obtained from Ministry of Agriculture Central Darfur State, Sudan. Ten seeds were germinated in Petri dishes containing filter paper of 9cm diameter, whereas in the pot experiment, five healthy seeds were allowed to germinate in plastic pots containing loamy soil.
Treatments comprised of control (distilled water), 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2% of sodium chloride (Na Cl). Treatments were arranged in completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 replications. Data recorded for the both experiments were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). Least Significant Differences (LSD) method was used to test differences between treatments means at 5% and 1% probability levels. Results of the laboratory experiment showed that the number of germinated seeds was significantly affected by salinity level, especially by the higher salt concentration. Final germination percentage and seedling vigor index decreased with increasing salinity level. The highest seed germination percentage (97.5%) and seedling vigor index (2.49) were found with the control (0% NaCl) and the lower seed germination percentage (22.5) and seedling vigor index (0.05) were found with 2% concentration. Results indicated that the plumule length decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.01) as concentration of NaCl increased. The radical length followed the same trend of the plumule length, it was decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.01) as NaCl increased. Results of statistical analysis of pot experiments revealed that salinity made highly significant effects (p ≤ 0.01) for the investigated traits. It was observed that the highest seed germination percentage (95%), seedling vigor index (23.3), plumule length (24.7 cm), radical length (26.2 cm) plumule fresh and dry weights ( 1.95 & 0.24 g/plant ) and radical fresh and dry weights ( 1.66 &0.203 g/plant ) were observed in 0%NaCl (control). No seeds germinated in the 1% and above NaCl treatments.

The River Ravi has subject to severe disturbances due to contaminants discharge of untreated industrial wastes and domestic sewage. This study was planned to assess the status of heavy metals Copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd) and cobalt (Co) in water and indian major carp (Catla catla) collected from the sampling station, Baloki Headworks.
The results showed significant differences among six fish organs viz. Gills, kidney, liver, skin,muscle and scales. Accumulation of Cu in all the six fish organs showed significant difference. Fish liver was the organ that accumulated significantly higher quantities of these metals followed by that of kidney and scales. The magnitude of heavy metals in both river stretch and tributary waters were Cu > Cr > Cd > Co while in the fish tissue the elements decreased in the order Cu > Cr >Co> Cd.
The correlation coefficient between the metals toxicity of Catla catla body organs and water was positively significant. The result of this study indicated that the metals present in the river system were taken up by Catla catla through water, sediments and food, regardless of their biological needs, showed higher metal concentrations.
