Drought stress is a limiting factor for production in agriculture. In order to evaluate the impact of plant growth regulators, Salicylic acid and Paclobutrazol on growth and physiological traits of Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum) under drought stress condition, a factorial pot experiment based on Randomized complete design with 4 replication was carried out at research greenhouse of Mohaghegh Ar...

after the soviet union dissolution, a chaotic period was begun in the russia. russia lost its glory and felt disgrace. the first group of elites came to power under yeltsin; they tried to re-define russia’s identity as a european country and build a foreign policy on this baseline. therefore russia tried to become closer with the west especially with the u.s. according to their view the sovie...

  Water deficit can be considered as one of the most important abiotic factors limiting plant function, which has also adverse affects on growth and production of medicinal plants. In this research, in order to evaluate the effects of water deficit stress on of Artemisia dracunculus plant, a completely randomized design with three replications was performed in greenhouse conditions. The ex...

Water stress is the most important abiotic stress in crop production. Silicium (Si) is the second most abundant element in the soil with beneficial effects on plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In order to evaluate the effect of this element in increasing tolerance to water deficit in wheat, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with three rep...

Deficit irrigation is one of the irrigation management methods that is used to increase Water Use Efficiency. Considering the internal plant adaptability characteristic to water shortage, Partial Root Drying method has been introduced in recent years. In this field research improvement of Water Use Efficiency for Soybean was determined. This experiment which was conducted at four furrow irrigat...

Designing an optimal crop pattern and on-time water allocation of water resources along with deficit irrigation are among the optimal solutions to maximize the water economic efficiency index. In this paper, the simultaneous optimization of crop pattern and water allocation are discussed using the deficit irrigation method. The study area is located west of the Qazvin plain irrigation network. ...
