Dry spells in rainfed agriculture lead to a significant reduction crop yield or total loss. Supplemental irrigation (SI) with brackish water can reduce the negative impacts of dry on net CO2 assimilation farming semi-arid tropical regions and maintain productivity. Thus, objective this study was evaluate carbon rates, indexes for use efficiency, indicators salt stress maize plants under differe...

AIM The efficacy of rectal irrigation (RI) was assessed in patients with various functional bowel disorders. METHOD A prospective analysis was carried out of patients presenting to our functional bowel clinic from 2005 to 2009. The Cleveland Clinic Constipation and Incontinence Scores were used to assess outcomes following rectal irrigation. Patients were asked if they were satisfied with RI ...

this study was performed to investigate the photosynthetic partitioning pattern of materials to aerial parts of bread wheat in dryland conditions. it was as well to study its relationship with bread wheat resistance and grain yield in drought conditions. seven genotypes including two cultivars (azar2, sardari) and five lines were investigated in a field experiment through a randomized complete ...

this experiment contained four vetch lines (vicia panonica ) that conducted in two locations (faruj and bojnourd) in 2005-2006 in rcbd design with four replications under dryland conditions. analysis of variance indicated that there were significant differences among lines in different locations about all traits, except 100-seed weight. the interaction of genotype×location was significant on al...

Precision irrigation in fuzzy control system based on crop water stress acoustic monitoring was designed in the paper. Moreover, conventional double fuzzy control model was found to carry out two work mode, normal irrigation and precision irrigation, which aims to both ensure normal growth of crops and achieve effective water-saving. Since five input signals affect output in different degree, t...

A new method of treating pleural empyema or pneumonectomy space infection by irrigation was evaluated in 11 patients. The infected cavities were filled with an antibiotic or antiseptic solution for three hours, and allowed to drain for one hour. This cycle was repeated every four hours for seven to 10 days. When cultures of the infected cavity became sterile the irrigation tube was removed and ...

A genome-wide association study explored the genetic basis of variation for drought tolerance and related traits in a Middle American diversity panel comprising 96 common bean ( L.) genotypes. The panel was grown under irrigated and rainfed conditions and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data were used to explore the genetic diversity and ancestry of the panel. Varying levels of admixtures ...
