water and soil salinity in some regions of isfahan, east azerbaijan, and west azerbaijan provinces and also other parts of the iran are the main hindrance for crop planting. seeds of the tolerant crops to salinity such as cotton and sugar beet may have optimal germination and give acceptable performance if they become far from salt accumulation areas. to evaluate the effects of different planti...

This paper employed the endogenous switching regression and propensity score matching methods to analyse the impact of row-planting technology on rice productivity using 470 rice farms in Northern Ghana. The empirical findings showed that the adoption of row-planting technology exerted greater positive impact on rice yields of smallholder farmers. In addition, rice yields of adopters and non-ad...

ABSTRACT Water management is an essential concept for water intensive crop such as maize dealing with water shortage under drought conditions. Maize production is ranked after wheat and barely in Fars province, Iran. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of planting methods by conventional and modified planters on maize growth and yield at different irrigation re...

The effects of irrigation and planting pattern on wheat in field conducted at Taian, northern China during 2011-12. The experiments consisted of two planting patterns (single and double rows) and two irrigation levels (0 and 180 mm) resulting in the same plant density (200 × 10 plant/ha). Each experiment plot was 3 m × 3 m in size and replicated thrice in split-plot design. During course of stu...

Potatoes have been one of the main food products world's population for several centuries. It is grown in more than 110 countries around world, on an area over 17 million hectares. In Russian Federation, gross potato production varies from 28 to 33 tons years. The object research Potato (Latin Solanum tuberosum), a perennial tuberous herbaceous plant Solanaceae family. purpose study select opti...

in arid, semiarid, and mediterranean climates, particularly in west asia and north africa, farmers face limited water resources and must develop irrigation management methods to increase crop production while reducing water use. this study examined methods to reduce irrigation water loss and increase maize water productivity at safiabad agricultural research center in dezful, iran in 2007 and 2...
