in order to evaluate the effect of different irrigation intervals on some morphophysiological traits of sesame (sesamum indicum l.), an experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions during 2009. the experiment was based on a randomized completely design with three replications. treatments included four irrigation intervals with 4, 8, 12 and16 days intervals and two ecotypes of sesame (ka...

to study the effect of soil moisture variation on growth and steviol glycosides contents in stevia (stevia rebaudiana b), a potexperiment based on a randomized complete design with four treatments and three replications were conducted in a greenhouse of agricultural biotechnology research institute of iran (central region, isfahan), in 2012. experimental treatments applied as a combination of v...

water deficit stress, permanent or temporary, limits the growth and the distribution of natural vegetation and the performance of cultivated plants more than any other environmental factors. mechanism involved is still not clear. in order to investigate the effect of different irrigation intervals and anti-transpirants compoundson yield and yield components of black cumin (nigella sativa), an e...

using mulch to decrease and optimize water use is known as a practical method. for this purpose, a split-factorial experiment based on complete block design with three replications on two melon cultivars was conducted in spring season of 2010 in torbat-e-jam. interval irrigation treatments in three levels (6, 8 and 10 days) were considered as main plot and mulch (straw plus paddy rice, plastic ...

In order to study the effect of irrigation interval, N fertilizer and superabsorbent on yield and qualitative traits of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), a split-split-plot experiment was coducted in a farm in Khusf of Birjand, Iran in 2009 on the basis of a Randomized Complete Block Design. The main plot was devoted to irrigation interval at three levels of 6, 12 and 18 days, the sub-plot was devot...

in order to study the effect of irrigation interval, n fertilization and plant density on yield and yield components of fenugreek, a split-split-plot experiment was conducted in darmian, iran in spring 2010. the experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications. the main plots were subjected to different irrigation intervals of 5 and 10 days. the sub-plots wer...

Bulb yield and storability of onions (cv. BARI Piaj-1) was studied against five levels of irrigation viz., no irrigation, irrigation at 10, 15, 20, and 30 days interval. Yield and storage losses were increased gradually with increasing number of irrigation. The highest yield of onion was obtained with a total of six irrigations at 10 days interval and it was at par with treatment that received ...

BACKGROUND: Nutrients play a very important role in chemical, biochemical, physiological, metabolic, geochemical, biogeochemical, and enzymatic processes. Innovations for saving water in irrigated agriculture and thereby improving water use efficiency are of paramount importance in water-scarce regions. Conventional deficit irrigation is one approach that can reduce water use w...
