In order to study the effect of irrigation levels and application of methanol and nano iron oxide on yield and grain filling components of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm of the Islamic Azad University, Ardabil Branch in 2017. The experimental factors were included: application of methanol (foliar application with water as control, 20 and 30 volume percent), nano iron oxide (foliar application with water as control, application of 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 g.L-1) and irrigation levels (full irrigation as control, irrigation withholding at flowering stage, irrigation withholding at grain filling period). The results showed that the highest grain yield (2952 kg/ha), number of filled grains per head (1121 grains per head), 1000-grain weight (50 g), rate and grain filling period, effective grain filling period (0.00239 g/day, 42 and 33 days respectively) and chlorophyll index (56) were obtained in full irrigation and high levels of methanol and nano iron oxide. Maximum of proline and soluble sugars content (11.1 µg/g FW and 72 mg/g FW) were obtained in irrigation withholding at flowering stage and application of high rates of methanol and nano iron oxide. The least of they were obtained in full irrigation and no application of methanol and nano iron oxide.

To evaluate the efficiency of zinc and cadmium on the Fe and Cu uptake and some physiological indices in Trifolium Alexandrinum, an experiment was carried out using Factorial Design based on Randomized Blocks with four replications. The experiment factors included four levels of Cd (0, 25, 50, 100 mg/kg soil) and four levels of zinc (0, 25, 50, 100 mg/kg soil) in greenhouse conditions in Agriculture and natural resource faculty greenhouse located in Mola Sani 40 km north of Ahwaz in 3 November 91-92 . Carmel variety was used in this study. The results showed that Cd consumption on leaf area index (P<0.01), and dry matter (P<0.05) was significant leading to a reduction in the content of all these elements. The results also showed that applied Cd had significant effect on the Fe and Cu concentration in plant tissues, too. Cd application decreased Fe concentration to 22.08 mg/kg and Cu to 4.47 mg/kg in shoot and leaf. The zinc application increased leaf area index and dry matter in significant level. With Zn application separately, the amount of Fe and Zn decreased by 14.28 and 3.36 mg/kg in shoot and leaf, respectively.

In order to evaluate row spacing and microelements spraying on yield and some morphological traits ofpeppermint, a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with fourreplications in Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University during 2010-2011. Threelevels of row spacing (50 × 10, 50 × 20 and 50 × 30 cm) and two levels of microelements (no sprayingand spraying) were evaluated on peppermint at two harvesting time. The results showed that the firstharvesting had significant effect on plant height, oil yield and dry matter. Maximum oil yield (19.1 lit.ha1)and dry matter (1121.3 kg.ha-1) was obtained in the first harvesting time. Microelements had significanteffect on wet matter (3321.3 kg.ha-1), dry matter (987.7 kg.ha-1) and oil yield (19.63 lit.ha-1). Maximumdry matter (1015.5 kg.ha-1) and oil yield (20.31 lit.ha-1) was obtained in (50 × 20 cm) row spacing withspraying. 50 × 20 cm row spacing with spraying recommended, because of maximum oil yield inpeppermint.
