Influence of tiller heterogeneity on yield components of rice grown under different nitrogen regimes
Increase in rice yield under excessive nitrogen (N) supply is negligible, hence it is necessaryto analyze the limiting factors via yield components. The present study was carried out during2014 and 2015 growing seasons in order to quantify the yield componenents of different typesof tiller at various N levels. Tillers were divided into three different types (superior, mediumand inferior) based ...
متن کاملGrain-for-green policy and its impacts on grain supply in West China
China’s grain-for-green policy of converting steep cultivated land to forest and grassland is one of the most important initiatives to develop its western inland regions. Using a multi-objective programming model, this study assessed the impacts of this policy in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River. In addition to the strategic planning of...
متن کاملSimulation of River Morphological Changes under Voshmgir Dam Removal Condition- Gorganrud River
Dam removal is one of the methods of restoring the river ecosystem. In the present study, the removal of the Voshmgir Dam on the Gorganrud River, Iran, was considered, because of the high volume of sediment deposition in the reservoir and the loss of its useful life. Three scenarios were selected for the removal of the dam: 1- complete removal; 2- stepped removal of the spillway; and 3- removal...
متن کاملThe Effective Geomorphological Processes in Rivers Bank Erosion (Case Study: kashkan River)
The dimensions, shapes and the patterns of natural rivers change according to their dynamic properties. These unavoidable changes cause the rivers imbalance and a new balance will be formed. The around lands will be affected by this dynamic and dangers such as instability of the bed. In this research we used chronological inference method to study Kashkan River morphology. Kashkan river is loc...
متن کاملPhysiological processes associated with high yield traits in modern rice varieties
Understanding the physiological processes associated with high yield traits in modern cropvarieties is essential to further increase grain yield and improve nutrient management strategies.Field trials were conducted to study the effects of fertilization and variety on the grain yield ofrice (Oryza sativa L.) with two fertilizer levels and 18 modern varieties. The objectives were toevaluate yiel...
