Tea yield and soil properties as affected by slope position and aspect in Lahijan area, Iran
Soil genesis, physico-chemical properties and tea yield were investigated along different hillslope positions in the major tea cultivation area of Iran, i.e. Lahijan, Gilan Province. Land suitability was also determined for the tea production in this hilly region. Four different slope positions i.e., summit, shoulder, backslope and toeslope were sampled on three slope aspects following the prof...

متن کاملWater Vapor Diffusion Through Soil as Affected by Temperature and Aggregate Size
Water vapor diffusion through the soil is an important part in the total water flux in the unsaturated zone of arid or semiarid regions and has several significant agricultural and engineering applications because soil moisture contents near the surface are relatively low. Water vapor diffusing through dry soil is absorbed for both long and short terms. Long-term absorption allows more water to...
متن کاملAggregate Stability and Water Retention near Saturation Characteristics as Affected by Soil Texture, Aggregate Size and Polyacrylamide Application
Understanding the effects of soil intrinsic properties and extrinsic conditions on aggregate stability is essential for the development of effective soil and water conservation practices. Our objective was to evaluate the combined role of soil texture, aggregate size and application of a stabilizing agent on aggregate and structure stability indices (composite structure index [SI], the α and n ...
متن کاملLengthening versus shortening dark periods and blossoming in sugar cane as affected by temperature.
Sugar cane, an intermediate day plant, clearly received a stronger stimulus to flower during lengthening nights than during shortening nights. Flowering was vigorous under warm, lengthening nights (21 degrees ) but less so under cool, lengthening nights (16-17 degrees ). Warm or cool shortening nights either failed to induce flowering altogether or reduced it substantially. Under the warmer nig...
