to investigate the effects of sowing date (sd) and single irrigation (si) on grain yield of rainfed wheat varieties, this experiment was conducted as split-split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications from sep.2000 to sep.2004 at the main station of dryland agricultural research institute (dari) in maragheh. the treatments included three sowing dates ...

in rainfed areas of iran, cereal yields are low, variable and mainly as a result of inadequate and erratic seasonal rainfall and associated management factor, such as late sowing date (or late crop germination). in order to investigate the effects of single irrigation and nitrogen on bread wheat (triticum aestivum l. var. sabalan) a field experiment was conducted as split plot arranged in a ran...

The College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources traces its history to 1869 when the University was designated as Tennessee's Federal Land-Grant Institution . Under terms of the Federal Land-Grant Act, the University was enabled for the first time to offer instruction in agriculture . This later was expanded to include research for the development of new knowledge and extension for di...

understanding of wheat root system is important in dryland conditions. root development, important factor in wheat production under water limiting conditions, can be affected by environmental factors especially nitrogen fertilizer. a field experiment was carried out to study the nitrogen rates and application times on root morphology of three rainfed wheat genotypes, using a split-splitplot bas...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a crucial role in dryland agricultural systems, improving resilience, productivity and delivering range of ecosystem services including (C) sequestration broader health. Although the net primary production (NPP) is principal source C inputs to soil, plant–microbe interactions can help increase NPP stimulate plant soil through variety mechanisms. Additionally, mic...
