Variation in pod and seed yield among twelve cultivars of Bambara groundnut was investigated in 2004 and 2005 cropping seasons. The mean performance revealed that BG7004AS despite its recorded low number of pods per plant, had the highest 100 seed weight, pod width, pod length, seed width and seed length, followed by BG7002AS, BG7009BS and BG70010AS, which had the best yield and yield component...

The Agricultural Water-saving Potential (AWP) has important influences on water-saving technology development, regional irrigation water management, agricultural production and water ecological balance protection. The study aims to design a reasonable methodology to calculate the AWP and analysis the AWP of Guanzhong irrigation area, in Weihe River Basin of China. The AWP was divided into resou...

this study aimed at determining the evapotranspiration and crop coefficient (kc) of sugar beet during the plant growth using drainage lysimeter by using water balance and experimental methods for three years in shahrekord. after sugar beet planting and out of lysimeter, evapotranspiration was measured weekly and monthly by measuring the factors of the water- balance equation. results showed tha...

Energy and water dynamics are crucial for citrus development in the Eastern Amazon. This study aimed to determine energy balance, demand, crop coefficient of acid lime northeast region Pará. A micrometeorological tower was installed center experimental area monitor meteorological variables between October 2020 December 2021. The balance demand were obtained by Bowen ratio method. Kc determined ...

intercropping may be helpful manner to increase interception and utilization. the aim of this study was to compare radiation use efficiency and radiation interception in intercropping with sole cropping. an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad in the growing season of the year 2008. the experimental treatments were: 1- sole crop of bean 2...

A water simulation model (WaSim) to simulate the growth and development of Amaranthus cruentus as well as the components of water balance for a typical sandy-clay-loam soil of Akure has been described. Dry season experiments were carried between January and March of 2005 and 2006. Amaranthus seeds were established on the field and three irrigation water managements were imposed on the crop to d...
