abstract to evaluate the effects of the irrigation termination in different growth stages on yield and its components of autumn’s canola cultivars in isfahan region. an experiment was conducted in 2005-2006 in kabotar abad research station. a split plot layout within a randomized complete block design with tree replication was used. main plots were seven level of the irrigation cut-off time (d1...

An alternative means by which to examine the importance of assimilates supply to flower and pod formation is to analyze the relationships of leaf area index (LAI), above-ground dry matter (ADM), leaf area duration (LAD) and crop growth rate (CGR) around flowering with flower number and pod/flower ratio. For this objective, an experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station of Gonbad, ...

Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation can save water while maintaining rice yields, but in some countries its adoption by farmers remains limited. Key knowledge gaps include the effect of AWD on early vegetative vigor and its relationship with yield; the effects of AWD on yield and water use efficiency of local cultivars used by smallholder farmers; and the socio-economic factors influe...

in order to investigate the effects of single irrigation amounts at different stages of rapeseed growth on yield and the improvement of water use efficiency and water productivity indices, this experiment was conducted as split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications during 2002-2003 for rainfed spring rapeseed variety (pf.7015.91= sarigol) at maragheh...

partitioning of photoassimilates between the sinks is one of the most important physiological processes related to the yield of crops which are affected by drought stress. therefore, the effect of drought stress in flowering and grain filling stages, on the percentage partitioning of photoassimilates among different organs was studied in 14 rapeseed cultivars in a split plot experiment based on...

in order the the effect of biofertilizer and cut irrigation on growth of borage (borago officinalis) an experiment in split plot randomized based on complete block design with three replications in 1393 at the agricultural research station of roudehen islamic azad university done. treatments were first factor drought in four levels (control, stress at vegetative stage, stress at flowering stage...

Droughtis oneof the most importantfactors limitingcrop productioninarid and semiaridregions, such as Iran.In order to study drought stress in four grain sorghum varieties (Kimia, Sepideh, KGS15 and KGS23), an experiment was laid in randomized complete block design with three replications in a split plot arrangement. Water treatments were considered the main plot at three levels: irrigation afte...

Crop productivity is improved by ecosystem services, including pollination, but this should be set in the context of trade-offs among multiple management practices. We investigated the impact of pollination services on coffee production, considering variation in fertilization, irrigation, shade cover, and environmental variables such as rainfall (which stimulates coffee flowering across all pla...

Many studies have found that the timing of flowering has shifted temporally in response to climate change, but few have ascertained the possibility of asynchrony developing between flowering and pollinator appearance. Collapses in pollination could have serious consequences for interdependent plant-pollinator networks. Five years of plant-pollinator data collected in twelve montane meadows at t...

Cut-flower production of Rosa hybrida ‘Kardinal’ and ‘Fire and Ice’ were compared between two canopy management regimes: shoot-bending and hedgerow without shootbending, and between hydroponics and non-hydroponic (UC Mix) culture with a tensiometer-based irrigation system. We observed the number and length of all harvestable flowering shoots from September 1997 to August 1999 in order to assess...
