abstract drought is the most important factor limiting crop yield word wide. osmotic adjustment (oa) and strong and deep root system result in increased cereal drought tolerance through increasing water uptake and water use efficiency. the impact of root structure and physiological traits on drought stress response was studied in three barley cultivars including yousof (drought tolerant), moroc...

in order to evaluation the effect of zeolite application and selenium spraying on water relations traits and antioxidant enzymes in medicinal pumpkin (cucurbita pepo l.) at water deficit stress conditions, an experiment was conducted in factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications during 2010 in takestan, iran. the three levels of irrigation factor include normal ...

Within the last years a lot of effort has been made to improve irrigation efficiency and early drought stress detection by using various remote sensing techniques. In the present study two different species of wheat (Triticum aestivum and Triticum durum), cultivated in a growth chamber, were used to investigate the effects of drought occurring at different phenological stages. Plant physiologic...

to determine the effect of zn and mn enriched seed on quality of two winter safflower varieties under drought stress, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural faculty research field, tarbiat modarres university, during 2004-2005 cropping season. the design was a split factorial randomized complete block one of 3 replications. main plots were composed of 3 different levels of drought stre...

in order to comparison and determination of the best drought tolerance indices in sweet corn hybrids, an experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design in split plot lay out with three replications at seed and plant improvement institute in karaj in 2006. three irrigation levels (irrigation after 75 as control, 100 and 125 millimeters cumulative evaporation from class a evapo...

to investigate the effects of drought stress and different combinations of animal manure with super absorbent polymer on yield and yield components of corn, a split plots design was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in fars agricultural research center in 2007. irrigation treatments were assigned as the main factor in three levels: 70, 105 and 140 mm evap...

A field experiment was conducted during 2001-2003 to evaluate the effect of water stress on the yield and yield components of four rice cultivars commonly grown in Mazandaran province, Iran. In northern Iran irrigated lowland rice usually experiences water deficit during the growing season include of land preparation time, planting, tillering stage, flowering and grain filing period. Recently d...
