rainfed wheat is the main source of staple food for people in the developing countries. various factors contribute to and affect the production of this crop. the aim followed in the present study was to develop a model to estimate rainfed wheat grain yield as based on physico-chemical properties of the soil. therefore, wheat grain yield and soil physico-chemical properties were separately deter...

The aim of this study was to investigate the climate change impacts on some factors affecting rainfed wheat growth such as effective rainfall, planting date and length of growing season in four stations located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. Firstly, it is necessary to predict future (2046-2065) climatic conditions. For this purpose, the output of HADCM3 general circulation model was us...

abstractbackground and objectives: all changes in the development stages of plants results in the change of one or more yield components and finally, the ultimate yield and manipulation of these periods means to create new possibilities for increasing yield. accordingly, planting date has a significant impact on plant growth and development during the growth season, so that any shift in plantin...

Crop depends on its canopy to intercept solar radiation to drive both assimilation and water, nutrient absorption for its growth. Field experiments, involving three sowing time and three sowing rate, were conducted at Luancheng Station to investigate the effects of canopy size and development on crop growth and radiation use efficiency (RUE) of winter wheat during 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 gr...

the main purpose of rainfed farming is increasing the water productivity by applying suitable agricultural management including single irrigation (si) and panting time for wheat varieties. in order to study the si optimization and determination its optimal program, a field experiment was conducted as split-split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for differ...
