This research was carried out to study the effect of deficit irrigation and saline water on yield and yield components of maize (KSC-500) during different growth stages for Ahwaz climatic condition in the farming years 2010-2011. This research performed in three independent experiments according to a randomized complete block design with split plot layout in three levels of irrigation water and...

River water salinity is a significant concern in many countries, considering agricultural and drinking usages. Therefore, prediction of amount of salinity is a necessary tool for planning and management of water resources. Since Achechay River Basin in East Azerbaijan province in Iran passes through saline zones, use of the water for irrigation has become problematic. In this regard, prediction...

in tunisia, kalâat el andalous irrigated district is one of the most affected areas by salinization. the objective of this study was to predict the root zone salinity (over 10 years) in this area using the saltmod simulation model for subsurface drainage system. saltmod is based on water balance, salt balance model, and seasonal agronomic aspects. in the pilot area, irrigated vegetables crops s...

Phosphorus (P) is a key element in many biological processes of plants and animals. We aimed to investigate the effect of different salinity levels and Ca:Mg ratios of irrigation water arid lands on soil available P, soluble P, and P absorbed by the pistachio plant. For this purpose, a greenhouse experiment was conducted by sowing the seeds of pistachio in a factorial randomized block design wi...

abstract soil salinity within plant root zone is one of the most important problems that cause reduction in yield in agricultural lands. in this research, salinity in soil profile was simulated in tabriz irrigation and drainage network using saltmod and artificial neural networks (anns) models. based on initial spatial distribution of salinity in soil profile, studying area was divided to 4 dif...

a two years (2006–2007 and 2007-2008) experiment was conducted at national salinity research center, yazd, to evaluate salt-tolerant genotypes of brassica napus, b. rapa and b. juncea. to screen genotypes in the first growing season, 58 genotypes were grown under two irrigation water salinity levels of 2 and 12 ds m-1 in an augmented randomized complete block design with six replicated checks. ...

A split-split-plot design with three replications in two years of 2009 and 2010 was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of irrigation water (main plot), salinity of irrigation water (sub-plot) and nitrogen fertilizer rate (sub-subplot) on maize growth rate and gas exchange. Irrigation treatments were I1 (1.0 crop evapotranspiration (ETc)+0.25ETc as leaching), I2 (0.75I1)...
