Predicting attainable yield under water limiting condition is an important goal in rainfed agriculture. Proper irrigation planning not only essential for saving but also enhancement and it possible when accurate reliable decision-making tool has been adopted. AquaCrop one of the models extensively used purposes. To evaluate performance model, present experiment entitled on “Assessment model irr...

poor wheat stand establishment is a major cause of yield loss, particularly in rainfed and poorly irrigated environments. seeds of eight wheat cultivars (triticum aestivum l.) including irrigated and rainfed varieties, belonging to three different climates of iran (hamedan as cold, karaj as temperate and sarpolzohab as warm climates) were primed using osmoprimig treatments through use of urea ,...

To cope with droughts and water scarcity in semi-arid to sub-humid climates require the development of preparedness measures. For irrigated agriculture these include the identification of irrigation scheduling strategies that minimize the water demand with acceptable impacts on yields Those strategies may be produced by simulation and focus on different levels of water demand, from average to d...

This study evaluates the potential of airborne remote sensing images to detect water stress in maize. Visible and near infrared CASI (Itres Research Ltd., Calgary, AL, Canada) and thermal AHS-160 (Sensytech Inc., Beverly, MA, USA) data were acquired at three different times during the day on a maize field (Zea mays L.) grown with three different irrigation treatments. An intensive field campaig...

Remote sensing can provide good alternatives for traditional in situ water status measurements in orchard crops, such as stem water potential (Ψstem). However, the heterogeneity of these cropping systems causes significant differences with regards to remote sensing products within one orchard and between orchards. In this study, robust spectral indicators of Ψstem were sought after, independent...

This research was conducted to evaluate effect of potassium and iron fertilizers on agro-physiological traits affected different irrigation regime of corn in Shahryar (Tehran province, central of Iran) via a split-split plots arrangement based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications during 2015. The main plot included different irrigation regime (Normal irrigation and stop ...
