abstract this research was conducted in toroq experimental field station, mashhad, iran, for two successive cropping seasons (2000-2002), using split plot experimental design based on complete randomized blocks with three replications. moisture stress treatments (at seven levels) were assigned to main plots, including: d1 ( full irrigation), d2 (no irrigation from one-leaf to double ridge) stag...

for a determination of optimum levels of water and nitrogen fertilizer, as regards corn yield and nitrate movement in soil, a split-plot experiment, using a randomized complete block design of three replications was conducted in safiabad agricultural research center, on a silty clay loam soil. three irrigation levels (50, 75, and 100% of water requirement) and three nitrogen fertilizer levels (...

the extensive use of pesticides in agriculture is compromising soil and water quality. one major concern is protecting water resources from contamination. the main objective of this research was measuring 2,4- d in a silty clay soil and simulating temporal transportation of this herbicide in soil using a leachp model, in a corn root zone field. 2,4- d was applied at 3.5 kg a.i./ha, followed by ...

to study the effect of planting pattern and water quantity on potato yields under drip irrigation, this research was conducted using a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in three regions (mashhad, ardebil and damavand, iran) during 2003-2004. nine treatments were used. the main-plots were three levels of irrigation: 100%(i1), 80%(i2), and 60%(i3) of cr...

The effect of bio-fertilizers and super-absorbents on the modification water-deficit stress was studied in castor. A field experiment conducted with a split-plot design based completely randomized block three replications. first factor included four levels (70, 100, 130, 160 mm evaporation pan Class) main plot; sub-factor application bio-fertilizer treatments (Azospirillum, Citrobacter, Azospir...

Water, salinity and nitrogen are the major factors affecting maize production in arid and semi-arid areas. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of different water, salinity and nitrogen levels on yield-water relationships, water use, water productivity (WP), water use efficiency (WUE) and water uptake reduction function by maize hybrid SC-704 in a semi-arid area and ...

in order to investigate the effects of humic acid on three tomato varieties, a field experiment was conducted as a split-plot design experiment based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 3 replications in ahmad abad part in khorasan razavi, during 2009-2010 .two factorial combinations were four levels of humic acid (0, 1, 1.5, and 2 kg.ha-1) and three tomato varieties (super ch, este...

in order to study the effect of uniconazole and cycocle growth regulators on growth, yield and nutrients content of pearl millet in drought stress condition, a field experiment was conducted in 2007-2008 in agriculture research center of zabol university. the experiment was conducted in split plot base on randomized completely block design with tree replications. main plots were different level...

To investigate the physiological responses of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., Alstar hybrid) to water stress under different levels of zinc fertilizer, an experiment was conducted at the Isfahan Agricultural Research Center, Isfahan, Iran, during 2008 and 2009 using a randomized complete block design within a split plot layout with three replications. Five irrigation treatments used in thi...
