The relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and their associated bacteriacan be has great importance for sustainable agriculture especially in the case of highlymycorrhizal plants such as linseed. To evaluate the possible effect of AMF in association withphosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) on linseed plants, a 2-yr factorial experiment wasconducted based on a randomized comple...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the FAO-AquaCrop model in winter wheat in the southern Loess Plateau of China. Multi-year field experimental data from 2004 and 2011 were used to calibrate and validate the model for simulating biomass, canopy cover (CC), soil water content, and grain yield under rainfed conditions. The model performance was evaluated using root mea...

abstract shortage and improper distribution of rainfall in tea growing period are important growth limiting factors in tea fields in northern part of iran. if there is not any other limited factors, supplemental irrigation by sprinkler can increase tea yield. this study was carried out in order to investigate the optimum sprinkler irrigation interval on yield and water use efficiency of tea. th...

irrigation water and nitrogen fertilizer are two important factors in increasing the yield and yield components of cotton. in order to evaluate effects of irrigation methods, various levels of water and nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield components of cotton were studied at hashemabad cotton research station of gorgan in 2008. the experiment was conducted in split-split plots design with th...

This work was made with mature ‘Manzanilla’ olive trees in an orchard of a semi-arid area in southern Spain. Three water treatments were considered: Rainfed, in which the trees had rainfall as the only source of water supply; FAO, in which the trees were under localized irrigation to replace the crop water demand, with some roots left in drying soil; Pond, in which the whole rootzones of the tr...

Subsurface soil water retention technology is a modern tool to increase the yield and improved saving. The goal of this paper review gathered three selected local experimental woks carried out in different regimes Iraq purposes improving productivity for strategy plants some vegetables crops irrigated by utilizing irrigation systems installing membrane trough. Moreover, retained rainfall was al...

Biophysical crop simulation models are normally forced with precipitation data recorded with either gauges or ground-based radar. However, ground-based recording networks are not available at spatial and temporal scales needed to drive the models at many critical places on earth. An alternative would be to employ satellite-based observations of either precipitation or soil moisture. Satellite o...

in order to evaluate the effect of balanced application of chemical phosphorus fertilizer and seed inoculation with phosphate solubilizing bacterium and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and on the yield and yield components of maize (zea mays l.) under normal and limited irrigation conditions, a split-split plots arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications was con...
