the scarcity of irrigation water and decrease of water resources are the most important limiting factors in crop production in countries such as iran. thus, studying the optimum use of water and increasing water use efficiency are essential to the agricultural sector. the use of a low pressure hydroflume has been suggested to replace traditional surface irrigation methods. the aim of this resea...

Wheat growth in response to soil water deficit play an important role in yield stability. A field experiment was conducted for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during the period of 2002–2005 to evaluate the effects of limited irrigation on winter wheat growth. 80%, 70%, 60%, 50% and 40% of field capacity was applied at different stages of crop growth. Photosynthetic characteristics of winter...

abstract different strategies are existed for adjusting with water shortage, of which the strategy of suitable policies adoption by determining optimum production function can be mentioned. water shortage and quality degradation of soil and water resources is one of main factors of production reduction. therefore, this study was carried out for determination of tomato sensitivity coefficients a...

Irrigation of vegetables during both air and soil-born drought has very positive effect on growth, development and yield. The impact of irrigation on the metabolism of plants is very complex because the increase in soil moisture affects plant physical, chemical and biological properties. Increasing the amount of water in the soil increases its heath capacity. Irrigated (wet) soil is cooler in s...

In current situations, quantitative and qualitative reduction of water resources has become global crisis. This subject has created many problems in Iran’s agriculture sector. In this research, effective factors on participation rate of farmers in Hashtgerd regarding optimum Utilization of irrigation networks are studied. The statistical population included all 1500 farmers in Hashtgerd city. A...

in order to investigate effects of optimum use of manure and nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield components of corn single cross 704 (late maturing, non-prolific and dent) in different levels of irrigation water. a field study was conducted in 2005 year in agriculture experiment station of college agriculture, arak university (34o 32′ n, 50o 31′ e; 1759 m above mean sea level). design of exp...

this research was conducted to study the effects of water deficiency stress, nitrogen application rates, and plant population on water use efficiency and nitrogen of oily sunflower in 2007-2008 agriculture and research center of west-azerbaijan. the study was consisted split-split-plot experiments using randomized complete block design with 3 replications. the factor main was consisted irrigati...

Many optimization models exist for water management systems but there is a knowledge gap in linking bio-economic objectives with the optimum use of all water resources under conflicting demands. The efficient operation and management of a network of nodes comprising storages, canals, river reaches and irrigation districts under environmental flow constraints is very challenging. Minimization of...
