due to the scarcity of water resources, the need for sustainable development of drip irrigation tape is essential in iran. a number of drip irrigation tape systems used in sugar beet fields of isfahan and chahar mahal va bakhtiari provinces were evaluated and were compared with furrow irrigation methods in two consecutive years. the actual water use efficiency (wuesy, wuewsy) in lower quarter, ...

methylene blue is widely used in various industrial branches. due to insufficient treatment, its occurrence in wastewater is frequently detected, which may result in serious environment problems to aquatic organisms. hydroponic experiments were conducted with rice seedlings (oryza sativa l. cv. xzx 45) exposed to methylene blue to determine the effective concentration using relative growth rate...

a factorial pot experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with fourreplications was carried out in order to evaluate salt tolerance of four sugar beet cultivarsincluding madison (british origin) and three iranian cultivars (7233-p12, 7233-p21 and7233-p29) using carbon isotope discrimination (δ). plants were grown in sand culturemedium in greenhouse conditions. sugar beet cultivars w...

in order to study the effects of post – anthesis heat stress on source of six wheat genotypes (vee/nac, chamran, s79-10, dez, fong and kaveer), two separate field experiments were conducted as delayed as against optimum sowing dates in ahvaz coditions. plants in delayed sowing date experienced heat stress at post-anthesis growth stage. as study of grain yield indicated that the highest and the ...

Light use efficiency (LUE) defines the vegetation of converting radiative energy into biochemical through photosynthesis. Estimating maximum LUE (εmax) is critical yet challenging for quantifying gross primary production (GPP) using LUE-based models. This study describes an analytical method estimating εmax based on water (WUE) as determined by plant and carbon gain. Unlike other complex parame...

Water, salinity and nitrogen are the major factors affecting maize production in arid and semi-arid areas. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of different water, salinity and nitrogen levels on yield-water relationships, water use, water productivity (WP), water use efficiency (WUE) and water uptake reduction function by maize hybrid SC-704 in a semi-arid area and ...
