Introduction : 

Tulip flower (Tulipa L.) from the family Liliaceae is a bulbous and monocotyledon plant that has the highest level under cultivation among this family group. Tulips can be propagated by seeds and bulbs. Its seeds produce bulbs up to two years after planting and it takes six years for the bulbs to reach the flowering stage. In fields, the quality characteristics of flowers can be changed to some extent by changing some planting characteristics such as planting pattern and plant density. Some researchers have reported changes in the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of various crops and orchards, including ornamental plants, with changes in planting pattern and plant density. One effect of changes in planting patterns and plant density is alterations in photosynthesis and plant growth regulators. The purpose of this study was to identify the best planting pattern and determine the optimal planting density, as well as to examine the impact of these factors on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of tulip (Tulipa L.) cv. 'Spryng'.

To evaluate the effect of planting pattern and density on growth and flower characteristics of tulip cv. ʹSpryingʹ, present study study was conducted as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized block design (RCBD) with 3 replications in 27 plots. The first factor was three planting patterns (square, triangle and rectangle) and three planting densities (25, 45 and 65 plant/m2) as the second factor. Morphological and physiological traits such as height, length and diameter of stem, leaf and flower, flowering time, cut flower number, flower longevity, number, diameter and weight of bulb and bulblet, and the content of chlorophyll and carotenoid were measured. Statistical analysis of data was performed with SAS 9 software and mean comparison of the data with LSD test at 5% probability level. Graphs were drawn in Excel.

Results showed that the maximum number of cut flowers (59.90) was counted in plants cultivated in triangle cultivation design with planting density of 65 plants/m2. The lowest time to start of flowering (69.30 days) and the highest content of leaf chlorophyll (13.57 μg/ml) was obtained in plants cultivated in trianle cultivation design with planting density of 45 plants/m2. The most flower longevity (12.73 day) and the highest content of carotenoid (1.68 μg/ml) was obtained in plants cultivated in square cultivation design with planting density of 45 plants/m2. The height of the flowering stem is one of the important traits for the marketing of cut flowers. The results of the present study showed that the height of the tulip plant was affected by plant density and planting pattern. This result was consistent with the results reported by some researchers. At low plant densities, long plant spacing reduces plant competition for water and nutrient uptake, resulting in larger plant growth and leaf size. Also, long plant distances cause the roots to develop and grow, and the leaves to grow and thicken. Increasing the vegetative competition of adjacent plants at high densities causes photosynthetic organs to be placed in the shade (change in the quantity and composition of the received radiation spectrum in the shade leaves), which has a great effect on the balance of plant growth regulators, resulted in longitudinal and superficial growth of plant organs. It intensifies the longitudinal growth of the petiole and accelerates all the developmental processes of the plant. Plant morphology and angle of leaf deviation can also be effective in increasing leaf size. Uniform distribution of plants and greater absorption of light and nutrients increased leaf length and width. The results revealed that plants compete for light and nutrients, and in these competitive conditions, roots and stems are taller than optimal, and the distance between nodes increases. The effect of planting pattern on flowering process can be related to changes in plant photosynthesis and the availability of photosynthetic materials for the developing reproductive parts. Changes in planting distance or pattern can alter inflorescence characteristics by affecting root growth and modifying the production of plant growth regulators in the roots. These regulators are then transferred to the aerial parts, influencing inflorescence characteristics. Adjusting the planting distance or pattern can also impact various traits of bulbs and bulblets in bulbous plants. Competition for receiving maximum light and photosynthesis is a key factor in changing bulb and bulblet traits. This competition is influenced by planting arrangement and plant density. Some studies have shown that planting pattern and plant density affect the amount of plant pigments such as chlorophyll and carotenoids, the main reason being the difference in light intake.

Optimal planting pattern and proper nutritional management, especially the vital element of nitrogen, are among the most important and influential factors on the quantitative and qualitative traits of tomatoes. Two experiments were performed in two regions in Agricultural Research Stations of Bushehr Province in 2017-18 crop year in the form of split plots in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plot consisted of two planting patterns (single row and twin row) and the sub-plot consisted of four nitrogen levels (0, 90, 180 and 270 kg ha-1 nitrogen). The results showed that the interaction effect of nitrogen × planting pattern in Bondarooz region had a significant effect on single plant yield, vitamin C, pH and partial factor productivity of nitrogen. In Saadabad region, the interaction of planting pattern and nitrogen on the number of locules per fruit and total soluble solids was significant. In Bondarooz, the highest and lowest single plant yields were obtained by application of 180 kg ha-1 nitrogen in single row planting method and without nitrogen application in twin row planting method, respectively. In Saadabad, application of 270 kg ha-1 nitrogen increased the yield of single plant by 116% compared to no application of fertilizer. The most important reason for the difference in yields between two regions was the amount of soil organic matter.

The Sahandi savory (Satureja sahendica Bornm.) is a native medicinal species of Iran, which is exposed to extinction. Organic farming of this species in low input systems has an important role to protect this valuable genetic reserve. To evaluate the essential oil content and components of the savory in natural habitat and field conditions, an experiment was conducted to investigate the plant growth responses to different fertilizer and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) density (0, 6, 12 and 18 plants/m2) in two planting patterns (rectangles, zigzag). The experiment was carried out in factorial based on RCBD with three replications at the Qazvin Agriculture and Natural Resources Research Center during 2010 to 2012. The nutrient treatments included NPK plus foliar application of micronutrients, four tons/ha vermicompost, two tons/ha vermicompost plus 40 liters/ha vermi-tea (liquid formulation of vermicompost). At the flowering stage, the essential oil content and compounds were measured in both samples of field and natural habitats. The effect of planting pattern was not significant. The highest content of essential oils in first harvest (28.38%) and in second harvest (46.04%) were obtained from organic fertilizer treatments, two tons vermicompost 40 liters vermin-tea and four tons vermicompost, respectively. These treatments were superior to the savory harvested from natural habitats. The essential oil content of savory under competition of redroot pigweed at all densities were higher than the natural habitats and the highest content in first and second harvest (30.41% and 51.80%) was obtained at 18 plants/m2 pigweed density. In all fertilizer treatments, the content of thymol in comparison to natural habitats (38.49%) was superior and the highest content (42.95%) was obtained with application of four tons vermicompost. In the absence of weed, the Sahandi savory produced the greatest content of thymol (45.18%) compared to the savory grown in natural habitats.

In order to evaluate the effects of cultivar and planting pattern on soybean seed yield and yield components a split plot experimental design based on completely block design in three replications was carried out during spring in Bay-e-cola Agricultural Research Station with an elevation of 4 m over sea level and average rain fall of 514 mm. There were three cultivars namely: BP, JK and 032 as main plot and six planting patterns namely: 20×5, 20×10, 30×5, 30×10, 40×5, 40×10 cm2 as sub plot. The results obtained showed that maximum 100-seed weight in main stem and minimum number of seed per pod in main stem obtained in JK cultivars and maximum number of pod in main stem obtained in BP. It was observed that seed yield was not significantly affected among the cultivars. The maximum seed yield obtained for 40x10 cm2 pattern with 951.7g.2m2, coinciding with maximum number of pod per plant and seed per pod in main stem. It was also observed that maximum number of pod in main stem obtained at the interaction effects of BP cultivar at 40x10 cm2 where as the minimum number of empty pod in main stem obtained for BP as 30x5 cm2. Maximum seed yield observed at interaction effects of BP and 30x10 cm2.

In order to evaluate the effect of varieties, planting patern and plant density on essential oil percent and essential oil yield of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) this research carried out in factorial design in the basis of randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications in 2008.It was considered variety in two levels: green and purple, planting pattern in 2 levels double and single rows and plant density in four levels: 40, 60, 80 and 100 plants per square meter.The results showed that, simple effect of variety, plant density and interaction effect of planting pattern and variety on essential oil percent was significant in the %1 level. Interaction effect between variety and plant density, planting pattern and plant density was significant at 5% level.Evaluation of essential oil yield showed that the simple effect of planting patterns, plant density and interaction of variety, planting pattern and plant density were significant at %5 level. Double interaction effect indicated that double rows and 40 plant per square meter with %0.36 and 48/67 kg/ha produced maximum amounts of essential oil percent and essential oil yield alternatively. Triple interaction effects showed that highest essential oil percent with 0.44 belonged to purple basil, double planting pattern and 40 plants per square meter and maximum amount of essential oil yield with 54.56 Kg/ha counducted in purple basil, double planting pattern and 40 plants per square meter were identified as the best treatment.
