-Water plays an important role in everyday’s life. Agriculture is a backbone of our country and it uses 85% of available fresh water for irrigation. Irrigation is the method of supplying the water to the plants artificially. In India, Farmers follow different irrigation systems to cultivate the crops. The different types of irrigation methods include sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, surfa...

This paper examines the use of genetic algorithm (GA) optimization to identify water delivery schedules for an open-channel irrigation system. Significant objectives and important constraints are identified for this system, and suitable representations of these within the GA framework are developed. Objectives include maximizing the number of orders that are scheduled to be delivered at the req...

Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii) is in decline in urban areas of the Pacific Northwest. Maintaining significant populations of this species requires development of restoration techniques for urban environments. My research consists of investigating the effects of light, irrigation and native soil on the establishment of Pacific madrone. I transplanted 104 one year madrone seedlings into an u...

BACKGROUND The need for reoperation or wound infection treatments between pulsatile and gravity irrigation are statistically equivalent, however, it is unclear which method maximizes operative efficiency and expeditious irrigation. In this study we set out to determine the differences in irrigation rate between these various treatment methods. METHODS This was an ex-vivo experimental laborato...

crop models need more evaluation and study for use in deficit irrigation. the main objective of this paper was to study the efficiency and accuracy of dssat model, in estimating of moisture in the soil profile under two levels of water application¬¬¬ in silage maize field. two irrigation treatments including deficit irrigation (0.7 smd), and a full irrigation (smd) were considered for two years...

The impact of water deficit on berry quality has been extensively investigated during the last decades. Nonetheless, there is a scarcity of knowledge on the performance of varieties exposed to a combination of high temperatures/water stress during the growing season and under vineyard conditions. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of two irrigation regimes, sustained ...

concinciding of wheat growth in post-anthesis period by water deficiency can result in reduction of current photosynthesis. in this circumstance stem-stored carbohydrate from pre-anthesis period had an important role in supporting assimilates for growing grain. an experiment was conducted in 2007-8 in experimental farm of arsanjan islamic azad university, in order to investigation the quantity ...

deficit of oil seeds and high volume of oil imports in iran, and limitation of water sources against production of many oil seed crops, demonstrate the importance of detection tolerant species and cultivars for stressful conditions and their most sensitive growth stages to saline stress. in order to study response of spring safflowers (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes to disruption irrigation...

to determine the effects of different irrigation and salinity levels on qualitative and quantitative yield of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted for two years (2006-07)at torogh agricultural research center, mashhad, iran, using two sprinkler systems. each of the two irrigation systems was connected to two water sources with 1 and 6 ds/m salinity. irrigation was performed via two sprinkler...

to evaluate the yield and yield components in additive intercropping system of grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) and cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.) under limited irrigation condition, an experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran, during spring 2006. the experimental treatments were arranged in split plots based on a complete randomized block desig...
