population growth as well as global fresh water shortage problem have necessitated the use of unconventional water resources in agricultural sector, as the largest consumer of fresh water, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. in this study, the effect of four irrigation methods on yield, uptake of water and important nutrients, and the salt accumulation in soil was investigated using a com...

seed reserves are controlled by genetic and environmental condition such as nutrition, temperature, drought stress and light intensity. strong seedling will produce from seeds with high reserves. therefore, in this work that conducted in pot, field(in tabriz university) and lab(in shahrood university of technology) experiments, effect of pre-anthesis nitrogen application and a drought stress du...

introduction: broadcast fertilization method increases fertilizer losses while results in lower nutrient absorption by plant roots. fertigation is an effective method to increase water and fertilizer efficiency and to reduce the losses of nitrogen. moreover, it allows farmers to apply the nutrients in splits and few amounts in response to crop needs. in the present study, a field experiment was...

Plastic mulch and drip irrigation are commonly used in high intensity vegetable production regions such as Florida. Drip irrigation can be much more efficient than sprinkler irrigation since only the root zone of the cropped area is irrigated. However, improper irrigation management can lead to wasted water and leaching of soluble chemicals such as nitrate. In this project, several irrigation t...

in order to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes on yield and growth indices of three chickpea cultivars, an experiment was conducted during the 2007 growing season at mashhad (iran). six irrigation regimes including i1; full irrigation, i2; irrigation at branching, i3; irrigation at flowering, i4; irrigation at pod formation, i5; irrigation at seed filling stage and i6; dry ...

Pearl millet is used mainly as a temporary forage crop in the southern United States. A new pearl millet hybrid has potential as a major grain crop in the United States. The effects of nematodes, irrigation, a nematicide, and nitrogen rates on a new pearl millet grain hybrid, HGM-100, and nematode population changes were determined in a 2-year study. Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita r...
