abstract water is a main factor in production of crops. optimizing the usage of water is essential especially in iran which is a dry and semi-dry country. investigation on the effect of different irrigation treatments on chilo suppressalis walker (lep.: crambidae), as the most destructive rice pest, can be an efficient strategy in optimizing usage of water in integrated crop management (icm). i...

Damage caused by water shortages leads to physiological and biochemical changes in metabolism of plants and make them predispose to attack by pests and diseases and reduce the quality of the crops. In order to evaluate the effect of supplemental irrigation on safflower fly (A. helianthi) population of safflower cultivars, an experiment conducted as a split plot based on randomized complete bloc...

in order to study of drought tolerance in advanced grain sorghum lines, an experiment was conducted in a split-plot on randomized complete block design with three replications in experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran during 2009-2010. irrigation regimes were assigned to main plots at three levels including normal irrigation (i1=60mm), moderate stress (i2=120mm)...

to investigate the effect of deficit irrigation on quantitative and qualitative yield of soybean cultivars, an experiment was conducted as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural research farm, university of guilan, during 2009. main factors were included four irrigation levels based on potential moisture 30-35 (i1), 50-55 (i2), 70-75 (i3) c...

field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of sowing dates and irrigation on seed quality of a spring-type safflower cultivar, in karaj-iran, during 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. a split plot design based on a randomized complete block layout with three replications was used in which sowing dates and irrigation treatments comprised the main plot and sub-plot, respectively. the...

BACKGROUND: Nutrients play a very important role in chemical, biochemical, physiological, metabolic, geochemical, biogeochemical, and enzymatic processes. Innovations for saving water in irrigated agriculture and thereby improving water use efficiency are of paramount importance in water-scarce regions. Conventional deficit irrigation is one approach that can reduce water use w...

in order to optimize use of water resources with selection of suitable wheat genotype(s) and irrigation schedule, in this experiment, the effect of elimination of irrigation at terminal growth and development stages of five wheat genotypes was investigated in two successive growing seasons (2002-03 and 2003-04) in the agricultural research station of torogh mashhad. split plot experiments were ...

in this research the effects of mycorrhizal symbiosis and irrigation intervals on growth indices and grain yield of two sorghum cultivars was studied. field experiment was laid out as a split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. irrigation intervals as main factor in three levels (7, 14 and 21days) and factorial combination of two sorghum cultivars (...

Water sources optimizing required a suitable irrigation program. Different material can use to increase water use efficiency. Superabsorbent is one of the materials where used in around the world. These materials put in the soil and absorb water so that reserved water is usable by plant in the time of drought stress and they can reduce stress and lead to prevent yield loss. Therefore, the exper...
