Abstract The global climate changes and their influence on agriculture in Uzbekistan were analyzed, including problems of irrigation water shortage irrigated lands the lower reaches Amu Darya with greatest due to repeated dry years. Additionally, recommendations for effective use resources conditions meadow alluvial soils salinization shallow salinized groundwater proposed subirrigation drip ir...

abstract the irrigation water quality is not suitable for crop production in most regions of iran. it is estimated that almost six bcm/year of saline water enter to the rivers, in iran. the saline water can potentially use for growing of tolerant crops with a specific management on the agriculture practice. one of the management methods is the conjunction use of fresh and saline water. in this ...

and DSSAT could be used to predict success or failure of soybean in dryland crop rotations. But for a crop The Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM) and CROPmodel to be a valuable aid in predicting the effects, and GRO-Soybean simulate soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] growth, success or failure, of intensifying and diversifying rotadevelopment, and yield. The models require calibration for soyb...

this study was conducted to determine the appropriate irrigation interval on the basis of cumulative water evaporation from standard evaporation pan (class a) and to find out the effects of irrigation regimes on growth indices and on qualitative and quantitative yields of sugar beet. the experiment was conducted in 2005 at the lavark agricultural experiment station fields, isfahan university of...

Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) turf quality is reduced during periods of high temperature. To predict heat stress injury and develop improved prestress maintenance practices, an understanding of the seasonal variation in annual bluegrass heat tolerance and the influence of soil moisture on heat tolerance is crucial. Annual bluegrass growing in the field on a Drummer silty clay loam (fine silty...

Vegetation in dryland ecosystems often forms remarkable spatial patterns. These range from regular bands of vegetation alternating with bare ground, to vegetated spots and labyrinths, to regular gaps of bare ground within an otherwise continuous expanse of vegetation. It has been suggested that spotted vegetation patterns could indicate that collapse into a bare ground state is imminent, and th...

Irrigation has become commonplace for residential homeowners desiring high quality landscapes in Florida. The goal of this project was to document irrigation system uniformity in Central Florida and to quantify distribution uniformity of residential sprinkler equipment under controlled conditions. The catch-can testing procedure used was a modified version of both the American Society of Agricu...
