BACKGROUND: One of limitation factor in agricultural plants production in dry areas, supply requires water. Also nutrition crop management is a necessary strategy for achieve sustainable agriculture. OBJECTIVES: Current study was conducted to assessment the effects of different irrigation regimes and several amount of nitrogen fertilizer on seed nutrition...

The use of electromagnetic ~EM! induction measurements was evaluated to predict water content in the upper 1.50 m of a prototype engineered barrier soil profile designed for waste containment. Water content was monitored with a neutron probe, and bulk soil electrical conductivity was monitored with a Geonics EM38 ground conductivity meter at ten locations at approximately monthly intervals over...

Molybdenum (Mo) content of water treatment residuals (WTRs) was determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) to evaluate suitability for land application under state regulatory policies that limit Mo to 18 mg kg-1. Samples of WTR were collected from 32 Pennsylvania facilities that employ aluminum salts, ferric chloride, and/or polymers for coagulation. The mea...

Canopy water content is a dynamic quantity that depends on the balance between water losses from transpiration and water uptake from the soil. Absorption of shortwave radiation by water is determined by various frequencies that match overtones of fundamental bending and stretching molecular transitions. Leaf water potential and relative water content are important variables for determining wate...

water deficit is a major factor influencing yield of canola (brassica napus l.) seed yield and oil content. a field experiment was conducted during 2010 growing season in the agriculture research station of torogh, mashhad, iran to evaluate responses of canola cultivars to limited water. experimental design was rcbd pattern with three replications. treatments were two irrigation regimes (based ...

In relation to its water content whole mammalian bone may be considered conveniently as two divisions. The lacunae, the canaliculi and the vascular spaces are unossified, and have been described collectively by Robinson (1960) as the marrow-vascular-osteocyte or M.V.O. space. The lacunae and canaliculi account, fairly constantly, for about one.tenth of the total volume of any region of bone (Ro...

Two variants of a polarimetric method to determine ice water content are presented. One uses specific differential phase and differential reflectivity and the other uses specific differential phase; both quantities are for a 10-cm wavelength. Theoretical considerations indicate that these polarimetric methods are suited for pristine ice crystals. Ice water content of lightly to moderately aggre...

: A tapered dielectric waveguide that scans, at constant height, a sample containing a viral capsid is studied by combining a lattice gas model to simulate water meniscus formation and a finite difference time domain algorithm for light propagation through the media involved. Our results show different contrasts related to different water contents and different meniscus orientations. We propose...
