one of the biggest barriers for agricultural production in iran is water deficit. however, certain optimum approaches for water application can solve this problem. deficit irrigation technique is an approach that could have a better and economic use of water in agriculture. in this regard, a research with three factors including two irrigation intervals of 8 and 12 days, two nitrogen fertilizer...

abstract radiation, water and co2 are three major resources requirement for crops growth and development and within a wide range, increasing each of them would increase the biosphere productivity. higher usage of fossil fuels is increasing the atmospheric co2 and according to known crop physiological functions, such conditions should increase the crops production. however there is a possibility...

The water percolation loss beyond root zone in the soil is one of the important parameters to determine water requirement of rice plant. If the amount of water percolation rate into the soil is estimated more carefully, determination of water requirement will be evaluated better and designing for system of irrigation, drainage and related establishments will be more easily done. The purpose of ...

cumin (cuminum cyminum) is an annual suitable for the dry and semi-dry areas of iran. recently, farmers have chosen to plant cumin because it requires less water and growth time. however, at harvest time, the resistance of cumin seed to shatter is low and, if careful attention is not paid to this fact, a major portion of the crop can be lost. when the connection force of the seed decreases, see...

tomato (solanum lycopersicum l.) is one of the most important vegetable plants in the world. it originated in western south america, and domestication is thought to have occurred in central america. in order to study the effect of polyethylene sheet as mulch on water requirement and yield of tomato, an experiment was carried out as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design wi...

abstract water deficit and consecutive droughts have lead to drought stress in most parts of the world recently. we need prepare a good program to use better available water. different material can be used to increase water use efficiency. super absorbent is one of the materials used around the world. these materials absorb water in the soil so that reserved water is usable by plant in the time...

food security in the world that water shortages are faced is very important, especially in arid regions. effects of climate change on agricultural water requirement have doubled this importance. in this study, the risk of water demand has been assessed for a wide range of products under climate change. aogcm models have been used to simulate climate variables. the climate change scenarios of cl...
