Supposedly they were either erroneously determinated or incorrect noted from the region under consideration since Eversmann 's work. 289 species are recorded from the re­ gion in addition to Eversmann 's list. This paper is the fifth in a series of publications1 dealing with the composition of the pres­ ent-day fauna of noctuid-moths in the Middle Volga and the south-western Cisurals. This re­ gion comprises the administrative divisions of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Saratov, Samara, Uljanovsk, Orenburg, Uralsk and Atyraus (= Gurjev) Districts, together with Tataria and Bash­ kiria.

Economic relationships lead to the determination of behavior towards resources, including those related to biodiversity. Human interventions are not negative only by making maximum use of biological resources, but also through activities that do not directly target these categories. The main ways humans contribute to the degradation of biodiversity are: modification and destruction of habitats, voluntary and involuntary transfer of species, overexploitation in all areas, starting with resources. The purpose of this research is to highlight the importance of protected areas in the world, as well as in Romania, highlighting economic activities that help to preserve and protect nature and the natural environment, activities that are included in management plans for sustainable development.

The present study investigates the changes in the quality of groundwater using geostatistical methods in the Shabestar and Tasuj plain during a 10-year period. In this study, after selecting the appropriate spatial interpolation method to draw water quality parameters such as Total dissolved solids, Sodium absorption ratio, Chlorine and Electrical conductivity, zoning maps of two plain were provided for three periods of time: the first period (2002-2005), an intermediate period (2006-2009) and the final period (2010-2012) using ArcGIS 10.1. The best model (simple kiriging) with the lowest estimated error was selected for zoning water quality parameter. Comparison of quality parameters of spatial zoning maps showed that the in Tasuj rate of TDS had an increasing trend in plain Southern boundaries (Lake Urmia adjoining) for a 10 -year period, and also the rate of EC was developing in the core shape to the Southeast and Western Region But there were no significant changes in the region for SAR parameter.

Article published on January 19, 2015 Abstract In order to weeds control in onion (Allium cepa), the research was conducted during cropping year of 2013 at Shabestar county, Iran in form of factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments were included: factor of three onion cultivars (Azarshahr red onion, Zargan and Swaet spanish) and factor of weeds control at five levels (control, mechanical weeding, Oxyfluorfen herbicide with amount of 480 g/ha-1 effective material, Oxadiazon herbicide with amount of 360 g/ha-1 effective material, composite of Ioxynil and Sethoxydim herbicides with amounts of 675 g/ha-1 and 250 g/ha-1 effective materials, respectively). Based on the results of variance analysis, mechanical method had the highest percentage of weeds control and caused to significant reduction in weeds dry weight and augmentation in yield was 75%. Among herbicides, Oxyfluorfen after weeding could have the highest effect on increment of yield (62%). Maximum yield was obtained in cultivar of swaet spanish and hand weeding treatment. *Corresponding Author: Bahram Mirshekari [email protected] 571 | Mirshekari and Karimi J. Bio. & Env.
