Rice cultivation has been challenged by increasing food demand and water scarcity. We examined the responses of water use, grain yield, and water productivity to various modes of field water managements in Chinese double rice systems. Four treatments were studied in a long-term field experiment (1998-2015): continuous flooding (CF), flooding-midseason drying-flooding (F-D-F), flooding-midseason...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a native crop of Asia which is grown worldwide including Iran.In this study,different selection criteria including correlation,regression and path analysis were used to improve yield.The experimental design was split plot with RCBD replicated four times in which three sowing dates (5 January,4 February,and 5 March) were used in main plots and four genotypes;two ...

although micronutrients effect on growth and yield of different plants has been intensively investigated, but there is limited information on its effect on grain yield and seed oil content of pot marigold) calendula officinalis l.). in order to investigate the effects of micronutrients (fe, zn and mn) spraying on yield and yield components and seed oil of pot marigold, a field experiment was co...

in order to evaluate yield and yield components properties of cold-tolerant chickpea under winter sowing and complementary irrigation conditions, two experiments in the context of partial balanced block design with 81 chickpea genotypes and three replications were carried out. complementary irrigation was performed during growing season including irrigation immediately after sowing, 20 days aft...

in 2007, an experiment was conducted at the farm of the college of agriculture, isfahan university of technology, in najaf abad (lavark), to study the effects of two pre-emergence herbicides (trifluralin and ethalfluralin) when combined with the three post-emergence herbicides setoxydim, cycloxydim and haloxyfop and the two post-emergence herbicides desmedipham and phenmedipham on weeds and the...

In the sub-tropics, water and nitrogen are the most important factors limiting the grain yield of maize. The effect of nitrogen (N) rates and drought stress at different growth stages of maize were investigated. Nitrogen treatments consisted of 100, 150, and 200  kgN.ha-1 from the urea source while water stress treatments were composed of irrigation-off since the early 10-leaf stage to emergenc...
