deficit irrigation is an essential optimization method for water consumption in irrigated lands. in order to investigate the effects of deficit irrigation on growth, yield and quality traits of two tomato (lycopersicon esculentum mill.) cultivars a factorial layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in agricultural research station of miandoab during...

BACKGROUND Essential oils (EOs) have been claimed to modulate mental functions though the most of data were obtained from subjective methods of assessment. Direct effects of EO on brain function remained largely to be confirmed with scientific proof. This study aimed to demonstrate quantifiable and reproducible effects of commercial vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) EO inhalation on sleep-waking ...

to illustrate the impact of various levels of deficit irrigation on yield and yield components of maize cultivars, a study was conducted based on randomized complete blocks as a split plot design with 3 replicates and two treatments for three crop seasons. four levels of deficit irrigation including: conventional, 100, 80, and 60% of water level use were considered as main plots and two varieti...

Irrigation water demand accounts for more than 95% of the total water use in the Kaidu-kongqi River Basin. Determination of the spatial and temporal trends in irrigation water demand is important for making sustainable and wise water management strategies in this highly water deficit region. In this study, the spatial and temporal trends in irrigation water demand as well as net crop irrigation...

present limitations on available water resources especially for use in agriculture sector, shows that more attention to irrigation water management is inevitable. deficit irrigation is a practice to improve use of unit volume of water. in this research, efficacy of cropwat 8.0 model was evaluated against field data under deficit irrigation management on soybean in karaj. in 2008 and 2009 agrono...

deficit of oil seeds and high volume of oil imports in iran, and limitation of water sources against production of many oil seed crops, demonstrate the importance of detection tolerant species and cultivars for stressful conditions and their most sensitive growth stages to saline stress. in order to study response of spring safflowers (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes to disruption irrigation...

This study was conducted to evaluate the response of Iranian promisinglate blooming almond genotypes to deficit-irrigation stress on GN15 rootstock. One-year old plants subjectedto three deficit-irrigation, including moderate and severe stress (soil water potential, Ψsoil = -0.8 and -1.6 MPa, respectively) and a control treatment (Ψsoil= -0.33 MPa), were applied for six weeks to five grafting c...

This study aimed to evaluate the fruit yield and the distribution of ‘Tommy Atkins’ mango root system under different irrigation regimes in the semiarid region of Bahia. The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments and three replicates: 1 Irrigation supplying 100% of ETc in phases I, II and III; 2 Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) supplying 50% of ETc in phase I (begi...
