to investigate the effects of regulated deficit irrigation (rdi) on the growth, yield and quality of ‘yali’ pears, field experiments for c (fully watered control), ew [early withholding of irrigation, water stress from pullulation to 25 days after flower bloom (dafb)], mw (mid-growth withholding of irrigation, water stress from 25 dafb to 80 dafb), and lw (late withholding of irrigation, water ...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...

introduction: in this study, the effect of memantine administration into the nucleus accumbens on the metabolic changes induced by acute stress in female mice was evaluated. methods: intra-accumbens unilateral or bilateral canulation was performed. one week after recovery, a group of animals were given memantine (1, 0.5, and 0.1 μg/mouse) five min before stress induction intra-accumbally, and t...

drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is widely cultivated in the Mediterranean zone where plantsgenerally suffer from water stress during heading and reproductive stages. This research wascarried out at the experimental farm of the faculty of agriculture, Kafrelsheikh University usingtwo water treatments (water stress and well-watered), four N levels (0, 80, 160 and 240 kg ha-1)and two ascorbic acid le...

Sustainability of rice production under limited water conditions is threatened by increasing irrigation water scarcity. Therefore, physiological and morphological responses of rice to varying water stress management strategies should be determined. The physiological and morphological responses of a semi dwarf rice (Hashemi cultivar) to water stress intensities (mild and severe, i.e., short-dura...

silicon is known to ameliorate the deleterious effects of drought on plant growth. we evaluated growth of wheat (triticum aestivum l. cv. chamran) under water-deficit stress induced by polyethylene glycol as affected by si application. in this article, the effects of si (as potassium silicate) on some parameters related to growth, chlorophyll concentration relative water content (rwc), electrol...
