in order to study effect of irrigation with wastewater and foliar application of complete fertilizer on forage yield and seed yield and yield components of foxtail millet (setaria italica). a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the agriculture institute of zabol university in year 2009. treatments included three levels of irri...

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...

The idea of irrigation is not new, irrigation stems as far back as the Egyptians and probably further in unrecorded history. Even the idea of automated irrigation is not new, mankind has figured out how to irrigate large areas of foliage through the use of automated and drop irrigation systems. Efficient, automated irrigation systems, which can irrigate plants to a desired level and supply thos...

experiment was conducted as split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications in kermanshah to shed lights on economic analysis of deficit irrigation and integrated application of biological and chemical fertilizer son cultivation of medicinal plant borage (borago officinalis l). irrigation tritments include: a) 30% less water than crop requires invegetative, b) inreprodu...

Measurements of methane (CH(4)) and nitrous oxide (N(2)O) fluxes have been extensively taken following rice seedlings transplanted into paddy fields, while little is known about CH(4) and N(2)O fluxes from rice seedling nurseries. Fluxes of CH(4) and N(2)O were simultaneously measured in rice seedling nurseries under the water regimes of continuous flooding and moist irrigation without waterlog...

soilless culture of greenhouse vegetables has been a fast developing section in iran during recent years. most growers fertigate plants without enough knowledge about plant water requirements. since some soilless substrates have low water retention capacity, wasting a great amount of nutrient solution can be occurred due to poor management. in this research work, effects of hydro gel amendment ...

We quantified nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) content, use (nutrient amount for one growth year), retranslocation (nutrients recycled before foliage senescence), uptake (use minus retranslocation), volume production per unit of uptake and fertilizer-uptake efficiency (percent applied taken up) in a 2 x 2 (nutrient and water) factorial experiment repl...

to evaluate the effects of biological phosphorous, chemical fertilizers and limited irrigation regime on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two different grain sorghum cultivars (kimiya and speedeh), this experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments were arranged as split split plot...
