to investigate the effect of plant density and supplemental irrigation on agronomic characteristics, chlorophyll content and light interception beneath the canopy of three chickpea genotypes under dryland conditions, an experiment was conducted at research station of lorestan agricultural research center located at chegini, khoramabad, during 2004-2005. the study was conducted using a split-spl...

In order to study the effect of bio-fertilizers  in decrease the effects of water stress on yield, yield components and oil percentage of Goldasht spring safflower cultivars (Carthamus tinctorius L.), an experiment on split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out  in 2012 at the Agricultural Research Station of Islamic Azad University of Roude...

research on crop response to deficit irrigation is important to reduce agriculture water use in areas where water is limited resource. using drought resistant landraces with irrigation scheduling based on phenological stages in semi-arid and arid regions may provide an opportunity to optimize irrigation efficiency and water savings in these regions. in order to evaluate of yield and yield compo...

introduction cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) is an annual plant that commonly cultivated in arid and semiarid regions of iran. the crop has a wide range of uses including medicinal, cosmetic and food industry. cumin occupies about 26% of total area devoted to medicinal plants in iran. however, cumin is seriously affected by the fusarium wilt and blight diseases. the diseases usually increase under w...

proper irrigation scheduling, i.e. timely and adequate irrigation is an important prerequisite to profitable crop production. high temperatures along with soil moisture deficits are some of the main limiting factors for canola (b. napus l.) production in dry land cropping systems. these factors negatively affect the formation of pods during the flowering stage, resulting in decrease in seed yie...

This study investigated the comparative effects of reduced irrigation regimes--partial root-zone drying (PRD) and conventional deficit irrigation (DI)--on the incidence of blossom-end rot (BER) in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under three Ca-fertilization rates: 0, 100, and 200mg Ca kg(-1) soil (denoted Ca0, Ca1, and Ca2, respectively). The plants were grown in split-root pots in a climate-c...
