investigation of physiological responses to water deficit in sesame (sesamum indicum l.) genotypes can help to identify effective mechanisms of plant resistance to stress. therefore, chlorophyll content, proline, soluble carbohydrates, net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, maximum quantum efficiency (fv/fm), plant height and shoot dry weight in a complete block factorial pot experiment...

Now days, turf management has encountered with water deficit, mostly due to low precipitation also industrial, agricultural and household demand and consumption. So, the objective of this project was to identify drought tolerance of warm and cool season turfgrass cultivars to different levels of regulated-deficit irrigation. The field experiment was set out in a split-plot based on completely r...

abstract: deficit irrigation technique can be used for produce more yield for every unit of irrigation water, and cause to increase crop economical benefit. main purpose of deficit irrigation is high water use efficiency with decreasing in irrigation sufficiency. in this research potential of cropwat model in deficit irrigation management for two crops, wheat and barley in karaj climate was stu...

Drought stress (DS) is an important limiting factor for crop growth and production in some regions of the world. Limitation in water availability precludes optimal irrigation in some production regions. Therefore, investigations on the interaction of other factors to mitigate the DS to varying degree are important. Two field experiments were conducted in the experimental farm of the National Re...

With the aim of understanding and identifying the traits which can be used as the suitable criteria for quick screening of the water deficit tolerant barley genotypes, an experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications was conducted during two years to evaluate the biochemical responses of 20 barley genotypes to full irrigation and terminal water stress in the fie...

Wheat growth in response to soil water deficit play an important role in yield stability. A field experiment was conducted for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during the period of 2002–2005 to evaluate the effects of limited irrigation on winter wheat growth. 80%, 70%, 60%, 50% and 40% of field capacity was applied at different stages of crop growth. Photosynthetic characteristics of winter...

crop models need more evaluation and study for use in deficit irrigation. the main objective of this paper was to study the efficiency and accuracy of dssat model, in estimating of moisture in the soil profile under two levels of water application¬¬¬ in silage maize field. two irrigation treatments including deficit irrigation (0.7 smd), and a full irrigation (smd) were considered for two years...

Water deficit conditions, in addition to reduced water uptake, result in a reduction in nutrient uptake, and consequently, a substantial reduction in growth parameters, yield and quality. Substrate inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) as an environmentally friendly biofertilizer is an important strategy to improve the growth parameters and quality of products in such conditions. ...

in order to study the effects of integrative applications of chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers on grain yield and oil of borago officinalis under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted at kermanshah, iran, in 2011. experiment was arranged as split plot under a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. water deficit stress with four levels was applied as the mai...
