seed protein usually is not sensitive to environmental fluctuations; its banding pattern is very stable which advocated for cultivars identification purpose in crop. this study was planned to study effect of water deficit on protein content and protein banding pattern of wheat genotypes. in this study five wheat genotypes were planted in early november, growing season of 2008-2009. the experime...

Abstract The deficit irrigation offers water savings potential that is becoming popular in arid and semi-arid regions reducing freshwater use over time. A two-year factorial experiment was conducted to evaluate growth, yield productivity of tomato under the drip furrow method. carried out a split-plot design with as main plot treatments, soil moisture regimes (0, -10, -20, -30 kPa) subplots. Da...

the objective of deficit irrigation is to increase water use efficiency by reducing of water quantity or wave off further irrigations that have not necessary. cotton plant is sensitive to irrigation timing and quantity through different growth stages. the field trail was conducted at hashemabad cotton research station (gorgan) to determine water consumption and cotton sensitivity to deficit irr...

in the recent decades, due to water shortage problems, most countries have adopted their new policies from water supply management to water demand management . the main objective of the present study is a simulation of water market in order to determine the role of market in the balance between water supply and water demand and to analysis impacts of irrigation water sharing policies on the cro...

While in the field of hydrology remote sensing techniques are often applied and well accepted there is still a deficit in the use of remote sensing techniques in the field of planning, design and operation of water resources systems. It is the aim of this paper to overcome this deficit and encourage water managers to use remote sensing techniques more widely. In order to achieve this, several s...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important agricultural crops worldwide. However, water is the most important limiting factor for wheat production. This study was initiated to test water stress environmental effects on grain quality and nutritional value of wheat by using single different water conditions at post-anthesis stage. Further analyses were conducted to examine variatio...

Water deficit and phosphate (Pi) deficiency adversely affect growth and biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) of legume crops. In this study, we examined the impact of interaction between soil water conditions and available soil-Pi levels on growth, nodule development and BNF potential of nine cowpea varieties grown on dry savanna soils. In our experimental design, soils with different available s...

Plant responses to water deficit need to be monitored for producing a profitable crop as water deficit is a major constraint on crop yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate physiological responses of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) to various environmental conditions under limited water availability using commercially available varieties grown in South Texas. Soil moisture and variables ...

Optimum irrigation is very important for nursery stock management of F1-hybrid oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.), constituting a major production cost. Generally, over watering of nursery stock can be a cause of loss of productivity. The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological and biochemical responses of oil palm nursery stock to reduced soil water content (SWC) and during the ...
