Abstract

Shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik.) is an annual weed species with a wide distribution in cereals of East Azarbaijan, Iran. Tow experiments were carried out based on randomised complete block design with four replications in Tabriz, Iran in 2014 to evaluate the effects of salinity and drought stress on shepherd's purse germination and early seedling growth. The salinity levels were included 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 dS m-1 (deci Siemens per meter) sodium chloride (NaCl). The drought stress levels were included 0,-0.4,-0.8,-1.2,-1.6 and-2.0 MPa osmotic potentials were obtained by polyethylene glycol 8000 as osmotica.

Results indicated that the effect of salinity was significant on seedgermination percentage and rate, seedling root and shoot length and seedling dry weight. The all traits reduced significantly by increasing the salinity level. In salinity of 20 dS m-1 the germination% of shepherd's purse was < 35 and the seedling dry weight reduced 65% in comparison with control (0 dS m-1). Also the effect of drought stress was significant on seed germination, seedling length and seedling dry weight and all the traits decreased by increasing the osmotic potential. The germination% of shepherd's purse seeds in osmotic potential of-2.0 MPa was < 32 and the reduction in seedling dry matter was > 60%. Generally, it could be concluded that drought stress such as limited irrigation and salinity would be effective strategy for reduction in germination and early seedling growth of this annual weed species.

2. Department of Plant Protection Research, Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center of Golestan Province, Gorgan, Iran
3. Agricultural Research Station for Gonbad-e Kavus, Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center of Golestan Province, Gonbad-e Kavus, Iran

In order to have a crop loss assessment of various barely diseases in different genotypes and determine their resistance to different diseases, this research was performed in Gonbad-e Kavus Station of Agricultural Research, using 20 treats of different cultivars and lines of barley in the complete randomized block design with three replications.

Results of the simple regression analysis showed that there is a significant relationship (P≤ 0.01) between the total plot yield and the amount of net blotch, brown rust, brown blotch and strip blotch (in form of the disease final severity, AUDPC, SAUDPC), and that the relationship between other variables vary. Accordingly, in analyzing the crop loss in the yield resulting from the barley brown blotch, it is proved that the total plot yield reduces 75.06 kilograms per SAUDPC.

The results of the multiple regression for all of the diseases showed that there is a significant relationship (P≤0.01) for all models with the exception of the relationship between the number of seeds on each spike and the disease final severity and the relationship between the thousand kernel weight (TKW) and the AUDPC. Therefore, a high R-squared (R2) was observed in case of the relationship between the AUDPC and the yield, and the relationship between the SAUDPC and the yield, compared to other variables. This means that this model could present the 52.09% of changes in the total plot yield based on the AUDPC and SAUDPC of the diseases.

A review on morphological characterization, variation and distribution pattern of Eurema butterflies of Peninsular Malaysia - JBES

• Noor Azrizal-Wahid1,2, Mohd Sofian-Azirun1, Mohammed Rizman-Idid1,3

Seven species of Eurema butterflies comprised of 263 adult individuals collected from various sampling sites of Peninsular Malaysia were identified and diagnosed based on their morphological characteristics and variation pattern. The result from diagnosis revealed that the main morphological characteristics that differentiated between the members of Eurema butterflies are the number of cell spots in discoidal cell and the pattern of brown apical patch, both located on the underside of the fore wing.

E. sari, E. bland a and E. tilaha are morphologically distinct and easily identified. Species of Eurema butterflies showed no variations, except for E. hecabe that had variable patterns of fore wing black apical border in several individuals, which corresponded to the altitudinal changes of their sampling sites. The distribution of the genus Eurema in Peninsular Malaysia is also discussed based on the recorded field sampling data.

The record shows that all six species with the exception of E. tilaha which was excluded from this study were evenly distributed across all sampling areas and can be found at most part throughout the Peninsular Malaysia with species of E. andersonii has the most consistent distribution pattern in all four different areas of sampling. This study also suggested that the most common species of the genus Eurema in Malaysia is species of E. blanda while E. tilaha was reported as the rare species.

The effects of using canola oil with vitamin E on performance and carcass traits of broilers | JBES

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using canola oil with vitamin E on carcass traits of broilers. This study was carried out as 3×2 factorial experiment with 3 levels of canola oil (control, 2.00 and 4.00 percent) and 2 levels of vitamin E (0 and 150 mg/kg) in 6 treatments, 3 replicates and 14 birds in each replicate in a completely randomized design.

In this experiment 252 day old broiler chicks were used for 42 days. Inclusion canola oil until 4% did not have any significant effects on performance of broilers (P>0.05). Inclusion 150 mg/kg vitamin E significantly affected the performance of broilers. The lowest amounts of daily weight gain (39.38g), daily feed intake (85.91g) and the highest ratio of feed conversion (2.19) were resulted by inclusion 150 mg/kg vitamin E. Inclusion 150 mg/kg vitamin E significantly affected the carcass traits of broilers. The lowest carcass (68.04%) and abdominal fat (2.76%) and the highest liver (4.12%) percents were resulted by inclusion 150 mg/kg vitamin E. As interactive effects; the lowest carcass percent (63.98%) were obtained by adding 4% of canola oil and 150 mg/kg vitamin E to broiler diets.

Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most important produce in Guilan province that most feild is allocated to this produce after rice in this province. In order to identify the plant parasitic nematodes of Tea plantation, 340 samples of soil around the roots of Tea were collected from different parts of the Tea plantation in provinces of Guilan and Mazandaran, during the summer and fall of 2011.

After extraction, killing, fixation and transferring to anhydrous glycerol, the nematodes were mounted on permnanent microscopic slides and nematodes species identified by using light microscope, equipped with digital camera, based on morphological and morphometric characters using valid keys.

In this study 22 species belonging 12 genera of nematodes infraorder Tylenchomorpha were identified, that before just 6 Species are reported from rhizosphere of Tea in Iran.

others species are reported from rhizosphere of Tea in Iran from first reported.

Evaluation of yield and yield components in intercropping of barley ( Hordeum vulgar L.) with clover ( Trifolium resupinatum L ) | Innspub Net

(33) Evaluation of yield and yield components in intercropping of barley ( Hordeum vulgar L.) with clover ( Trifolium resupinatum L ) | Innspub Net - Academia.edu

 In order to evaluate yield and yield components of barley and clover at intercropping system while in heading and pasty harvesting stages an experiment was conducted at agricultural research farm of Sistandam located in Zabol during 2013. Experiment was arranged in split plot based on randomized complete block design in three replications. Studied factors were two harvesting stages with two harvesting level including heading and pasty stages as a main factor and six different sowing combination treatments as a second factor including sole barley,sole clover, sole barley+25% clover, sole barley+ 50% clover, sole barley+75% clover and 100% clover treatments. Results showed that harvesting stage had significant effect on spike length, grain number per spike, 1000 grain weight, dry weight and harvest index of barely and fresh forage yield, dry forage, raw protein of clover plant and improved mentioned characters. Effect of sowing combination was meaningful on stem length, spike length, grain number per spike, grain yield, dry weight and harvest index of barley and fresh forage yield, dry yield, raw protein and raw fiber of clover plant. The highest Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) was belong to sole barley +25% clover treatment which demonstrated superiority of intercropping system to sole barley culture.
