Water salinity and drought are the major abiotic stresses limiting turf grass growth. On the other hand, shortage of waterresources and salinity of water and soil in the arid and semi-arid zones such as Iran, are the restricting factors in developinglawn turf grasses. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of water salinity and deficit irrigation ontall fescue (Festuca aru...

the objective of this work was to study the responses of two baby lettuce (lactuca sativa l.) cultivars, namely, green paris island and red sanguine, to different nacl concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 20 mm). the study was conducted in a floating system and plants were harvested at the stage of 5-6 leaves, outside leaf 6-10 cm in length (25 and 31 days after sowing for green and red lettuce, respe...

sugarcane, which has high water requirements, is grown in khuzestan province (iran). climate and optimizing the use of water is very important to sustainable cultivation of sugarcane. studies of water requirements for sugar cane in khuzestan show that in parts of sugarcane agro-industry, the water applied is more than the actual water requirement of the plant. the present study was conducted to...

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...

abstract experiment was conducted for 8 weeks to determine the reaction (astacus leptodactylus) to interaction energy and salinity. diets containing 3 levels of energy (300,370 and 450 kcal/100g) with a constant protein content of 30% and 2 levels of salinity (fresh water and brackish water (12 ppt) were formulated. tank content 110 liter, each filled with 80 liter water. 5 a.leptodactylus (ave...

regarding increased limitations on fresh water availability in agriculture and the necessity of finding solutions for management of unconventional waters, some scenarios for using saline water were assessed for forage maize. saltmed model, as an integrated approach, can be used for a variety of irrigation systems, soil types, soil stratifications, crops, water management strategies (blending or...

laboratory studies were conducted to compare the relative fitness of clodinafop-propargyl herbicide resistant lolium rigidum accessions with their clodinafop-propargyl susceptible counterparts in 2014. factors evaluated were lolium populations at constant salinity stress (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 ds cm2) and water stress (0, -3, -6, -9, -12 and -15 bar). the maximum germination in salinity stres...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the limits of irrigationwater salinity and soil water content for growth inhibition of vetiver. Moreover,different models were studied to describe the root water uptake and plant topgrowth under salinity and water stresses in a pot experiment. Irrigation treatmentsconsisted of three irrigation intervals (3, 6 and 9-day). The salinity levels of...

in order to study the effect of irrigation water salinity on quality and quantity of sugar beet (beta vulgaris) at four growth stages, an experiment was conducted in rudasht salinity and drainage research center from 2004-2006. in this experiment, 11 different water salinity treatments and three sugar beet cultivars (ic, 7233 & 7233-p29*msc2) were considered using split plot design based on ran...
