The impact of climate change on the ecosystem of the Mediterranean Sea basin will be manifested mainly by a significant reduction in water resources, because of rising temperatures and lower rainfall despite the increase in heavy precipitation events. Water is a fundamental resource for the metabolic activities of plants in agriculture. Unfortunately this resource is available in limited quanti...

to study the effects of sowing dates, irrigation intervals and different cultivars on sugar beet root rot disease management and its quality and quantity yields, an experiment was conducted in a split- factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications in the field of sugar factory jame. two irrigation intervals: eight days and 16 days were allocated in main plots, and d...

introduction studies on the fall-winter sowing of chickpea were commenced in 1974-75 at mediterranean regions. for example, singh et al, (1997) studied some chickpea cold and ascochyta blight tolerant genotypes in fall-winter sowing for 10 years (1983-1993) on three regions in syria and lebanon under rain-fed conditions. the mean of seed yield for 10 years in the fall-winter sowing was 1686 kg....

Conflicts between water supply and water demand are intensifying in irrigation districts along the Lower Yellow River due to climate change and human activities. To ensure both adequate food supply and water resource sustainability in China, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was used to simulate the water balance and water use of agro-ecosystems in an irrigation district of the lo...

drought causes significant reductions in crop productivity in many parts of the world, including iran. identifying genotypes tolerant to drought stress is therefore one of the foremost goals of crop breeding programs. this study investigated the effect of terminal drought stress on yield and yield components of new winter rapeseed lines, and identified new winter rapeseed lines tolerant to term...

Groundwater-fed irrigation has altered surface and groundwater interactions in the Republic River basin (RRB) in the midwestern United States, where agriculture heavily depends on irrigation. The decreasing flow trend recorded at the RRB gauging station since the 1950s reflects the synthetical effect of dynamic interactions between surface water and groundwater systems, which has been enhanced ...

Improving winter wheat water use efficiency in the North China Plain (NCP), China is essential in light of current irrigation water shortages. In this study, the AquaCrop model was used to calibrate, and validate winter wheat crop performance under various planting dates and irrigation application rates. All experiments were conducted at the Xiaotangshan experimental site in Beijing, China, dur...

in order to study the effect of fertilizing treatments and limited irrigation regimes on yield and yield components of isabgol, a field experiment was conducted at experimental farm of college of agronomy and animal sciences, university of tehran. the experimental design was a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. in this research four irrigation regime...

an experiment was carried out in 2008 to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes, and chickpea cultivars on chickpea production in the khorramabad lorestan. the experiment was split–plot in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. supplementary irrigation at 8 levels (1-rainfed without irrigation, 2-irrigation after sowing, 3-irrigation at flowering, 4-irrigation ...
