Anethum graveolens Linn. (Umbelliferae, A. graveolens) is a widely used spice with a long history of traditional medicinal use for the treatment of various ailments. The biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in medicinal and aromatic plants is affected by abiotic stresses such as water deficit. This study was carried out to evaluate seed yield and essential oil of dill under five irrigation dis...

At present and more so in the future, irrigated agriculture will take place under water scarcity. Insufficient water supply for irrigation will be the norm rather than the exception, and irrigation management will shift from emphasizing production per unit area towards maximizing the production per unit of water consumed, the water productivity. To cope with scarce supplies, deficit irrigation,...

By utilizing the real coding based accelerating genetic algorithm (RAGA) and multi-dimension DP, a method named RAGA—DP was developed to optimize irrigation system of well irrigated rice under non-sufficient irrigation condition in the Sanjiang Plain. When using DP to optimize irrigation system under non-sufficient irrigation condition, the model works well for problems such as difficulty to id...

Germination and early growth of maize Sweet Maize (Zea mays L.), var. (SEL. CONETA) under irrigation with saline water were investigated in a pot experiment with different soil types. Seven salinity levels of irrigation water up to 12 dS/m were used on a Clay soil (C) and a Sandy-Loam (SL). Emergence of maize was delayed under irrigation with saline water, and the final percentage of germinatio...

Nonflooded irrigation is an important water-saving rice cultivation technology, but little is known on its photosynthetic mechanism. The aims of this work were to investigate photosynthetic characteristics of rice during grain filling stage under three nonflooded irrigation treatments: furrow irrigation with plastic mulching (FIM), furrow irrigation with nonmulching (FIN), and drip irrigation w...

This study was carried out during three successive seasons 2004/05, 2005/06 and 2006/07, to evaluate fifty F derived lines (from the F diallel cross), with three check varieties under two different irrigation regimes. 3 2 Twenty different lines were selected from the fifty F lines under each level of irrigation and evaluated under 3 the same conditions in the F and F generations. Also, the effe...

The improvement of irrigation systems in the Nile Delta is one of the most important attempts in Egypt to implement more effective irrigation technology by improving the existing irrigation networks. Demand delivery system in the existing irrigation network is using of mechanical gates structures to automatically divert water from one portion of an agricultural field to another in the desired a...

Drought stress (DS) is an important limiting factor for crop growth and production in some regions of the world. Limitation in water availability precludes optimal irrigation in some production regions. Therefore, investigations on the interaction of other factors to mitigate the DS to varying degree are important. Two field experiments were conducted in the experimental farm of the National Re...

Health technology The study compared the use of rectal irrigation with examination under anaesthesia in the operating room as an initial treatment for posthaemorrhoidectomy secondary haemorrhage (PHSH). Rectal irrigation was conducted in the stoma therapy room. The patients were placed in the lithotomy position and, using a slender irrigation tube with double lumens, rectal irrigation was perfo...
