this research was carried out on corn in the orzuiyeh region of kerman province over two consecutive seasons (2005-6 to 2007-8). the experiment was done as a split plot with a completely randomized block design and four replications. four levels of consumed water (60%, 80%, 100% water requirement, water use based on regional custom) and three varieties (404sc, 700sc, 704sc) were the main factor...

a two years (2006–2007 and 2007-2008) experiment was conducted at national salinity research center, yazd, to evaluate salt-tolerant genotypes of brassica napus, b. rapa and b. juncea. to screen genotypes in the first growing season, 58 genotypes were grown under two irrigation water salinity levels of 2 and 12 ds m-1 in an augmented randomized complete block design with six replicated checks. ...

ABSTRACT- The crop water stress index (CWSI) is the most common index to monitor and assess crop water stress, based on canopy temperature. To calculate CWSI, upper and lower baselines adaptable to different environments are needed. In this study, empirical and theoretical limiting baseline equations were developed to determine eggplant CWSI values at different levels of water deficit and salin...

globally, irrigated agriculture is the largest extractor and the most frequent consumer of groundwater resources, with important groundwater-dependent and largely spread agro-economies. quality of irrigation water is one of the key factors which have either direct or indirect impact on plant growth, soil and water management practices and plant yields. this work aims at highlighting the importa...

Reclaimed water provides an important contribution to the water balance in water-scarce Jordan, but the quality of this water presents both benefits and challenges. Careful management of reclaimed water is required to maximize the nutrient benefits while minimizing the salinity risks. This work uses a multi-disciplinary research approach to show that soil response to irrigation with reclaimed w...
