Abstracts |
In order to better understand the effects of mycorrhiza (Glomus fasciculatum) and zeolite on quantitative and morphological characteristics of safflower under water deficit condition, an experiment was conducted as split plot-factorial with four replications at Islamic Azad University of Shahr-e-Gods Branch, Iran during 2011-12. The main plot factor included : three levels of irrigation regimes on the basis of 100, 150 and 200 mm evaporation from class A pan and sub-plots which consisted of application of zeolite (0, 15 and 30 t/ha) and application and non-application of mycorrhiza. The results showed that the traits were all highly significantly different under water deficit condition and zeolite application. Mycorrhiza affected grain and oilseed yield. The results also showed that the highest of grain and oilseed yields were obtained from application of zeolite (15 t/ha) under normal irrigation. In general, it appears that application of zeolite and mycorrhiza improved yield and other plant parameters under water deficit. |
