To study the impact of iron nanoparticles foliar application on mitigating the effects of drought stress on yield, yield components and oil percentage of Goldasht spring safflower cultivar, an experiment was carried out in 2012 in the Agricultural Research Farm Station of Islamic Azad University, Roudehen branch as split plot in a completely randomized blocks design with three replications. In ...

A significant portion of the irrigated acreage in the intermountain western U.S. is comprised of cool season grass pastures. Droughts, coupled with increasing demands for limited water supplies in the region, have decreased the water volumes available for irrigating these pastures and other crops. Consequently, relationship between crop yield and irrigation (water production functions) should b...

irrigation management, soil tillage method and fertilizer management play important roles in increasing crop yield and water and solute movement in the soil profile. the present research was conducted to study the effects of a no-tillage system and nitrogen fertilizer on the mineral nitrogen movement and soil moisture under optimum irrigation conditions. the study was conducted at safiabad agri...

Understanding plants’ response to different irrigation levels is essential for developing effective scheduling practices that conserve water without affecting plant growth and yield. The objective of this study was evaluate the responses three sweet corn ( Zea mays var. saccharata ) cultivars 1170, 8021, Battalion under (50%, 75%, 100%). Irrigation treatments were based on soil moisture managem...

The litter carbon (C) pool of a single litter cohort in an agroecosystem is the difference between net primary productivity and decomposition and comprises 1113% of the total C pool (litter and soil 0-15 cm depth) post-harvest. This litter-C pool is highly dynamic and up to 50% can be decomposed in the first 12 months of decomposition. Thus, understanding litter-C dynamics is key in understandi...
