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...

Water stress and soil nutrients affect the growth of medicinal herbs as well as the quantity and quality of their essential oils. The effect of drought stress and different fertilizers on yield and morphological traits of Ajowan was studied in a split-plot experiment on the basis of a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications in Qaen, Iran. The main plot was devoted to irrigation...

the effect of different fertilizing systems and drought stress during grain development on grain minerals of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) was studied in field experiments on a clay-loamy soil during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. the treatments consisted of three irrigation regimes (main plots) of: non-stressed (ns, normal irrigation continued until the end of plant physiological maturity), ...

This study investigated the effects of interstimulus interval on slow phase velocity (SPV) to ipsilateral warm air caloric stimulation in normal subjects . Results suggest that about 3 minutes should intervene between the offset of one irrigation and the onset of the second irrigation . This finding supports the hypothesis that carryover effects are likely only when nystagmus from the preceding...

to investigate the effect of water treatment and plant density on yield and yield components of two cotton cultivar, a two-year experiment (2006-2007) was carried out in esfahan agricultural research center. the use of a split plot factorial based on complete block with four replications for study. two irrigation levels 135 (i1) and 180 (i2) mm of cumulative pan evaporation class a, from flower...

two-year experiments was conducted to find the effect of value and times of supplementary irrigation on water requirement and yield production of three new wheat cultivar namely (‘w33g’, ‘cross alborz’ and ‘bahar’) in three replicate randomized complete block factorial experiments since 2009-11. experiments were performed at the campus of agriculture and natural resources of razi university lys...

Estimating canopy interception of water by plants during rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is a critical step for evaluating water-use efficiency. Most existing experimental studies and mathematic models of canopy interception have paid little attention to the interception losses of water by herbaceous plants. To better understand the canopy interception processes of herbaceous plants and to est...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate eight new sugar beet genotypes with different drought tolerance responses to three irrigation schemes (including normal irrigation and early season and continuous stressed) in motahari research station of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi),karaj,iranduring 2005-2006. the study was accomplished in a split plot design (irrigation schemes and genotypes as ma...
