introduction water consumption improvement in agriculture is very important compare with other sections. because of existing complexity in production and exploitation processes and optimized application of irrigation water and nitrogen especially in dry and semi-dry areas facing with water constraint is an important goal in this field. yield gap analysis can help to identify how much yield incr...

water productivity is a function of crop yield and management operation. determination of different yield levels through field experiments is difficult. therefore, applying simulation model is an approach which makes possible to assess water balance, simulate growth process and survey different scenarios. using the cropsyst crop growth model to analyze water productivity, as an indicator of wat...

s: There is not enough land for the current bioenergy production process because of its low annual yield per unit land. In the present paper, an integrated biomass production and conversion process for sustainable bioenergy is proposed and analyzed. The wastes from the biomass conversion process, including waste water, gas and solid are treated or utilized by the biomass production process in t...

this experiment was conducted for estimating the effect of row spacing and plant density on soil moisture change, wheat yield and water use efficiency in rainfed condition, using a three replicated randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources farm in anbare-ololum region in 2008-2009. the treatments that used wer...

scarce water resources is a worldwide problem, still for iran, a country predominated by an arid and semi-arid climate, water limitation is more severe than for many other areas of the world. a field experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of irrigation regimes on growth, grain yield and irrigation water use efficiency in maize (zea maize l.) in 2006 at the research farm, college of ...

Int. J. Indust. Entomol. Vol. 27, No. (1), pp. 180-184 (2013) 180 181 The dry mass of sericin and cocoons was determined using a moisture analyzer (XM60, Precesa, Switzerland). Rheological measurement were performed on 1) the 0.3% (w/ v) sericin aqueous solutions, 2) sericin gels prepared from the 0.3% sericin solution, and 3) frozen and thawed sericin gels. The steady-state flow of sericin sol...

in order to study the effect of foliar zinc spraying on photosynthetic pigments and yield of chickpea under water stress conditions, a factorial experiment carried out based on randomized completely block design (rcbd) with three replications in university of mohaghegh ardabili agricultural research station in 2012. the treatments consisted of three levels of irrigation (irrigated at planting, ...

introduction: maintaining soil moisture content at about field capacity and reducing water loss in near root zone plays a key role for developing soil and water management programs. clay pot or porous pipe is a traditional sub-irrigation method and is ideal for many farms in the world’s dry land with small and medium sized farms and gardens and is still used limitedly in dry lands of india, ira...

introduction: lack of water and deterioration in the quality of soil and water resources are considered to be the prime cause of reduced crop yield in arid and semi-arid regions ‘more crop per drop’ by trickle irrigation, deficit irrigation, and uncommon water are the best strategies for mitigating water crises. different irrigation management strategies are needed to increase production in dif...

scarcity of irrigation water and decreasing of water resources with suitable quality are the most important limiting factors in the crop production in the most of countries such as iran . therefore research for optimum usage of water and economy in consume water is important policies for growing of production and  the selection of cultivars with less necessity of water can help to matter.so, an...
