this study assessed the optimum water need of pepper (capsicum annuum l. cv. california wonder) and the critical irrigation level to be applied in order to achieve a reasonable economic yield in water shortage conditions. in a controlled field experiment involving five different treatments, seasonal evapotranspiration for pepper fluctuated from 89 mm in the severe stress treatment (i0.00) to 1,...

water stress decrease water content and water potential between soil and root. therefore, water potential  of plant declines and plant faces with water stress. water stress in different stages of growth can be useful in different aspects. water stress can be practiced from two point of view, increasing water use efficiency (wue) and improving cultural practices. no irrigation in insensitive sta...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of soil application of humic acid on growth and physiological indices of pistachio seedlings ("Badami Zarand" rootstock) under drought stress. This experiment was arranged as a completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse conditions. The experimental treatments consisted of humic acid (0, 30 and 60 gr in 4 kg-1 s...

in order to evaluate the effect of zeolite application and selenium spraying on some physiological traits and grain yield in medicinal pumpkin (cucurbita pepo l.) under different moisture regimes, a study was conducted in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications during 2010 in takestan at gazvin province, iran. the three levels of irrigation facto...

background and objectives: although more than 90 percent of consumed water used in agricultural sector, water is the major limiting factor for agricultural development in iran. over the past few years increasing agricultural crop water productivity thorough deficit irrigation methods has been studied by agricultural researchers and planners. although lorestan province is one of the major produc...

Irrigation water is limiting for crop production in arid and semi-arid areas. Furthermore, excess nitrogen (N) application is a source of groundwater contamination. Partial root drying irrigation (PRD) can be used as water saving technique and a controlling measure of groundwater N contamination. The objectives of this investigation were to evaluate the effect of ordinary furrow irrigation (OFI...

In order to study the effect of zeolite and biologic fertilizers application under different irrigation regime on yield and quantitative traits in sugar beet, a research project was conducted according split-split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replicates. The main factor included irrigation regime at two levels (Normal and stress), sub factor included zeoli...

experiments were conducted in 1998 and 1999 to study the effects of different levels of potassium and irrigation intervals on yield and water use efficiency of two genotypes of sugar beet (a37.1 and 12681) in khorasan agricultural research center (torogh, iran). potassium levels were; no potassium application, increasing potassium to 5% of soil cation exchange capacity (cec) and second treatmen...
