the seedbed preparation and cereal residue present due to limit of maize (zea mays l.) growing period are a major challenge in double cropping after winter cereals in iran as: shahrekord. in this research, effects of various seedbed preparation methods and crop residuea managements on vegetative growth and yield of forage maize (ksc 704) were studied in a barley-maize double cropping during 200...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intervertebral disk biochemical composition could be accessed in vivo by T1ρ and T2 relaxometry. We found no studies in the literature comparing different segmentation methods for data extraction using these techniques. Our aim was to compare different manual segmentation methods used to extract T1ρ and T2 relaxation times of intervertebral disks from MR imaging. Seven di...

This study was designed to calibrate and evaluate the subsurface drain flow component of the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM; Version 2.5) for four tillage-systems: chisel plow (CP), moldboard plow (MB), no-tillage (NT), and ridge-tillage (RT). Measured subsurface drain flow data for 1990 was used for model calibration. Main parameters calibrated were lateral saturated hydraulic conductivi...

the introduction of canola (oilseed rape; brassica napus l.) as a new source of vegetable oil production in iran prompts evaluation of the performance of this crop under different tillage systems. a field experiment was conducted to determine the impact of depth and intensity of tillage on soil physical properties, crop establishment and yield of irrigated winter canola in a loam soil (typic ha...

Abstract Assessing spatiotemporal variations in soil water is critical to many decisions precision agriculture. In dryland crop production regions with marginal precipitation, growers use rotations and surface preparation practices build natural capital over preceding seasons for cash production. However, significant gaps exist quantifying linkages between topography, properties, site‐specific ...
