concerning limitation of water resources, determination of the least water that can lead to the maximum yield is of great importance in crop production. in order to evaluate effects of deficit irrigation on grain yield and water use efficiency of some wheat )triticum aestivum) cultivars under different climatic conditions, two similar field experiments were conducted in 2004 in agricultural res...

to evaluate the response of wheat to drought stress and salicylic acid, this field experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of college of agriculture, university of shahid bahonar kerman, iran in 2011-2012, in a split-plot arrangement using completely randomized block design with four replications. main plot was irrigation (normal irrigation and cut off at flowering) and sub plot was...

background and objectives: drought stress is one of the most important environmental factors reducing growth and yield of crops, especially in arid and semiarid regions of the world. during drought stress, nutrient uptake diminishes due to rising of solute concentrations and so increasing of osmotic potential in the root zone. with increasing soil ph, micronutrient uptake decreases more than ot...

To study the impact of iron nanoparticles foliar application on mitigating the effects of drought stress on yield, yield components and  oil percentage of Goldasht spring safflower cultivar, an experiment was carried out in 2012 in the Agricultural Research Farm Station of Islamic Azad University, Roudehen branch as split plot in a completely randomized blocks design with three replications. In...

the responses of isabgol (plantago ovata forsk.) to micronutrient foliar application under low irrigation condition were investigated. the experiment was carried out in agricultural research farm of zabol university, iran, during growing season of 2007-2008. the experiment was conducted in spilt plot using randomized complete block design with four replications. three irrigation regimes defined...

in order to investigate of the effects of water stress on seed yield and gas exchange and to evaluate the relationship between source and sink in sunflower azargol variety, a split-plot factorial field experiment was conducted in 2008. in this experiment, water stress (no irrigation from 30 days after sowing till ripening) and irrigation (irrigation at -3 bar soil water potential) were consider...

introduction cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) is an annual plant that commonly cultivated in arid and semiarid regions of iran. the crop has a wide range of uses including medicinal, cosmetic and food industry. cumin occupies about 26% of total area devoted to medicinal plants in iran. however, cumin is seriously affected by the fusarium wilt and blight diseases. the diseases usually increase under w...

An experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of Se spraying on yield and growth indices of wheat under drought stress condition, in agriculture and natural resource research center of Tehran province in 2011-12. A split plot layout within randomized complete block design with three replications were used. main plots were three irrigation treatments (normal irrigation, non-irriga...
