ABSTRACT- Maize production, which is ranked after wheat and barely in Fars province, Iran, needs a considerable amount of irrigation water that is not available in scarce water conditions in drought situations. Therefore, proper planting method can improve irrigation water management. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of two planting methods, on-bed and in furr...

in order to investigate the effect of different irrigation regimes on yield and leaf proline content of a spring isfahan local variety of safflower, a field experiment was conducted as split plot in randomized complete block design with three replications at the research station of shahrekord university in 2013-2014. the main factor consisted of four different irrigation regimes (irrigation aft...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the crop water stress index (CWSI), grain yield and canopy temperature of triticale under two irrigation regimes at Research Station of College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Darab, Shiraz University, in 2013. A split plot design was used with three triticale cultivars (Sanabad, ET-83-3, and ET-84-5), as sub-plots and four levels of irrigati...

Large pot (2 years) and field experiments (1 year) were conducted to determine the response of susceptible soybean Glycine max (L.) Merr. cultivars (Essex and Hutcheson) grown in soybean-cyst-nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines-infested soils at three soil water regimes. The soil water regimes were irrigation whenever soil water potential ([psi]s) 0.30-m deep was i) -30 kPa (I-30) or ii) - 50 k...

Drought stress (DS) is an important limiting factor for crop growth and production in some regions of the world. Limitation in water availability precludes optimal irrigation in some production regions. Therefore, investigations on the interaction of other factors to mitigate the DS to varying degree are important. Two field experiments were conducted in the experimental farm of the National Re...

Flowering and vegetative growth were assessed in 19 half-sib families of Alnus rubra Bong. planted in a replicated field trial near Olympia, Washington, USA. The trial consisted of three square spacings (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 m), two irrigation regimes (low and high), and two fertilization treatments (0 and 300 kg P ha(-1)). Male and female flowers were surveyed in all plots for all families at plan...

A suitable planting pattern and irrigation strategy are essential for optimizing winter wheat yield and water use efficiency (WUE). The study aimed to evaluate the impact of planting pattern and irrigation frequency on grain yield and WUE of winter wheat. During the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 winter wheat growing seasons in the North China Plain, the effects of planting patterns and irrigation fre...

oil has an important role in human food. an experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the response of spring genotypes of safflower to irrigation disruption in reproductive growth different stages, in a spilt plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with four replications at research farm, faculty of agriculture, university of birjand during 2008. irrigation regimes (full ...

The new CPEM (cooked potato effective mass) method was used to study the sloughing of a potato variety grown in two successive years in six regimes given by different levels and forms of fertilisation and irrigation. The sloughing process is characterized by the cooking time, i.e. the starting point of disintegration, and by the speed of disintegration. Both parameters are also evaluated in dep...
