With the aim of improving poplar timber production, a successive 8-year irrigation and fertilization factorial experiment with three blocks was designed to measure the response of Populus tomentosa stands to water and nitrogen in Huabei Plain, China. Specifically, we examined the responses of four P. tomentosa clones (P. tomentosa BT17, S86, B331, and 1316) to three irrigation levels (45%, 60%,...

A dynamic simulation model of salt accumulation on irrigated lands is presented. The original version of the model is part of a large-scale socio-economic model of irrigation-based regional development. The model introduced in this paper is a systemic one in the sense that it integrates four major sub-processes of rootzone salinization: irrigation, drainage, groundwater discharge and groundwate...

Acala cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, var. Maxxa) was planted into a split-plot factorial design field trial on the Shafter Research and Extension Center, Shafter, CA. The two main treatments were optimum irrigation (Io) and stressed irrigation (Is) containing five levels of soil nitrogen availability (-100, -50, optimum, +50, and +100 lbs N/ac). The objective of this field trial was to determine i...

Since the salinity of irrigation water is a critical constraint to the production of certain vegetable crops, salinity has been considered as one of the most important factors of irrigation water. The objective of this study was to investigate the response of lettuce and Chinese cabbage to various salinity levels of irrigation water in greenhouse cultivation. A pot experiment was conducted with...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the effect of the EndoVac irrigation system (SybronEndo, Orange, CA) and conventional endodontic needle irrigation on sealer penetration into dentinal tubules. METHODS Forty single-rooted, recently extracted human maxillary central incisors were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the irrigation technique used: conventional endodontic ...

Automatic irrigation scheduling has been demonstrated using wired sensors and sensor network systems with subsurface drip and moving irrigation systems. However, there are limited studies that report on crop yield and water use efficiency resulting from the use of wireless networks to automatically schedule and control irrigations. In this 2011 study, a multinode wireless sensor network (WSN) s...

increasing the water use efficiency in crop production is an important issue today. an experiment was conducted in 2009 in order to evaluate the corn reaction to partial root zone drying at fars province. treatments consisted of four irrigation levels (control, alternative furrow irrigation during whole season, alternative furrow irrigation until flowering then full irrigation and full irrigati...

in order to evaluate the effect of balanced application of chemical phosphorus fertilizer and seed inoculation with phosphate solubilizing bacterium and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and on the yield and yield components of maize (zea mays l.) under normal and limited irrigation conditions, a split-split plots arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications was con...

In most wheat growing moderate regions and especially in the north of Iran climate, is affected grain filling by several physical and abiotic stresses. In this region, grain filling often occurs when temperatures are increasing and moisture supply is decreasing. The experiment was designed in RCBD with split plot arrangements with four replications. Four irrigation treatments included (I0) no i...

this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of irrigation and application of zn fertilizer on  seed storage proteins  in chickpea, azad cultivar. experiment was performed in an factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. in this experiment, two factor consist of irrigation in three levels (i1= non irrigation and i2= irrigation in flowering stage), zn ...
