in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and plant density on yield, yield components and morphological characters of pinto bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) c.o.s16 cultivar, a field experiment was conducted in split plot arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of yasouj university during 2010. experimental treatments were pinto be...

Abstract The crop water stress index (CWSI) is a valuable tool for monitoring and quantifying water stress as well as for irrigation scheduling. A field experiment was conducted during spring and summer 2012 at Research Station of College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Darab, Shiraz University, Iran, to determine CWSI of  turfgrass for irrigation scheduling. Four levels of water regime...

1. Chaparral shrub species along the southwest coast of North America survive wildfire by three different life history types: non-sprouters ( NS ) are killed by fire and only re-establish through germination of fire-stimulated seeds; facultative sprouters ( FS ) re-establish by a combination of vegetative sprouting and seed germination; and obligate sprouters ( OS ) only re-establish by vegetat...

In order to investigate water deficit stress on 24 of soybean (Glycine Max. L) cultivars and lines in temperate climate, an experiment was conducted in Iran Seed and Plant Improvement Institute. Stress levels were irrigation after evaporation of 50, 100, 150 mm water from pan, class A. Randomized Completely Block Design was arranged for each stress levels. Some traits such as, node number, plan...

Amaranthus cruentus, an annual vegetable crop, is known to be highly productive under rain-fed conditions and during the dry season when supplied with water. However, for good water management, there is need to accurately quantify the water consumed by the crop. This paper investigates the water use and biomass yield of differentially irrigated Amaranthus cruentus at different developmental sta...
