Cucumber is one of the nutrients rich vegetables with high market value. Being an important vegetable, it also suffers from several insect pests. The vegetable leafminer (VLM), Liriomyza sativae Blanchard (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is important pest of vegetables and ornamental plants worldwide, including in Iran. To understand the damaging nature of t...

Defoliation by the vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard (Diptera: Agromyzidae), was simulated by removing known amounts of leaf area with a hole punch in a glasshouse experiment that evaluated 21 combinations of defoliation intensity, timing and duration on cucumber yields. Defoliation was quantified in cm²‐days (leaf area removed x no....

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of hydrochar addition to soil (i.e., non-hydrochar, 20, 50, 70 and 100 g kg⁻¹ soil) on different nutrients contents (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc), enzymatic (catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase) and non-enzymatic antioxidants (phenolic compounds, ascorbic...

We evaluated the effect of foliar sprays of 1 mM salicylic acid and 0.5 mM jasmonic acid on root growth of canola (Brassica napus, Cultivar: Ocapi) under different levels of salt stress (0, 40, 70, 100 mM NaCl) as a practical means to reduce water-stress. Salinity decreased the primary and lateral root length and weight, root diameter, density, sho...

The estimation of leaf area and leaf fresh and dry weight are used in agronomy to follow the development of crops, and to predict light interception and productivity. In small plant populations using non-destructive methods of leaf area measurements could be useful. In this study because of equipment limitations, the transparent paper and simple ru...
