The response of mature olive (Olea europaea L.) trees to both regulated deficit irrigation and fertigation was studied for some consecutive years in sub-humid (Italy) and semi-arid conditions (Spain). All cultivars tested in these experiments were preferentially for table olive consumption (pickling and double-aptitude). Data from these long-term studies on field-grown, mature trees are summari...

to evaluate moisture-stress tolerance in reproductive growth stages in five triticale (alamos83, lasko, moreno, prego, and zorro), one bread wheat (roshan) and one durum wheat (osta-gata) cultivars, two field experiments were conducted in 2005-06 cropping season at research farm, isfahan university of technology, lavarak, njafabad, iran. the genotypes were sown in two normal and moisture stress...

Automatic irrigation scheduling based on real-time measurement of soilless substrate water status has been recognized as a promising approach for efficient greenhouse irrigation management. Identification of proper irrigation set points is crucial for optimal crop performance, both in terms of yield and quality, and optimal use of water resources. The objective of the present study was to deter...

line to/cal/3/7c//bb/cno/5/cal//cno/sn64/4/cno//bad/dar/3/kl/6/sabalan was received from icarda under international winter wheat improvement in 1999-2000 cropping season. based on its favorable agronomic characteristics, it was selected for further evaluations in advanced and elite yield trials in main research stations of dryland agricultural research institute (dari) and on farm yield trials ...

Abstract Effects of water stress on root and leaf growth rates and their relationships with yield under normal and water stress conditions were examined at the Greenhouse and Research Field of Faculty of Agriculture, Kerman University, Iran, using seven maize cultivars including SC-404, SC-704, BC-666, TC-647, DC-370, Jeta and Kordona. During a period of 14 days, water stress at -0.4 MPa was ...

Post-anthesis drought stress is the most important problem affecting wheat production in dryland fields, specially in Mediterranean regions. The main objective of this research was to evaluate drought tolerance indices in dryland wheat genotypes under post-anthesis drought stress. The research was including two different experiments. In each experiment, twenty dryland bread wheat genotypes were...

abstract supplementary irrigation for suitable crops production in most area of iran is necessary. in order to study supplementary irrigation effects on yield and yield components of three lentil (lens culinaris medik.) cultivars, an experiment was carried out as split block based on randomized complete block design with three replications at research field, college of agriculture, ferdowsi uni...

drought is the most significant constraint for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. in order to assess drought tolerance in fifteen rapeseed (brassica napus) cultivars using yield-based drought tolerance indices, two experiments were conducted at the research station of college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran during 2009-2010 growing season. the cultivars were arranged...

in the water-limited areas, the great challenge of the agricultural sector is more production from less water that it can be achieved by increasing water productivity. a field study was conducted to compare various cultivars of wheat to water using line source sprinkler irrigation at gorgan research station in 2005-2006. the effect of variable water supply on yield and wue of six wheat cultivar...

This work presents information on the patterns of yield determination by yield components as a function of the level of management of the crop. The data used for the analyses were obtained from 8 field experiments located across Poland in 2009 and 2010. 25 winter wheat cultivars were evaluated at two management levels, i.e., at a low input of nitrogen fertilisation and pesticides and at a h...
