in order to study the effects of salicylic acid and selenium application on yield and yield components of rainfed wheat cultivars, a field experimental was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications in the research station of islamic azad university- arak branch, iran in 2010-2011 growing season. the treatments were salicylic acid and selenium. sal...

in order to investigate the effect of domestic wastewater and normal water (well water) on soil chemical properties and alfalfa yield, a research project was conducted for three years in chahartakhteh research station. the experiment was performed in randomized complete blocks design including four treatments in three replications. treatments were as follows: t1: irrigation with normal water at...

The present study aims to assess the effect of Thiobacillus and sulfur on morphological and biochemical properties of medicinal pumpkinproperties under deficit irrigation based on a split-plot design. For this purpose, water stress was applied as a main factor in three levels (control, no irrigation in flowering stage, no irrigation in fruiting), and Thiobacillus and sulfur fertilizers as sub-p...

a field study was conducted in qaen region using complete randomized blocks with three replications to study the effect of organic manure, zinc and boron on yield and yield components of millet and grain chemical composition. the treatments included factorial arrangement of municipal solid waste compost and cow manure (each at 25 ton ha-1), zn (0, 50 kg ha-1) and b (0, 10 kg ha-1) by using thei...

Kiwifruit requires a high quantity of nutrients that must be supplied through fertilization to obtain an optimum yield on a sustainable basis. This research was conducted to evaluate different fertilization methods including broadcast application (as control), deep placement of the fertilizer and fertigation, alone or in combination with foliar application and their effects on the yield, leaf m...

Field experiment was conducted for 2 seasons to study the influence of drip fertigation in combination with or without bio fertilizers on yield, plant uptake and soil fertility of Bt cotton. The treatments comprised of four levels of drip fertigation viz., 75, 100, 125 and 150 per cent of recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF, NPK) combined with and without bio fertilizers, drip irrigation w...

Many sustainable agronomical practices can be adopted to contain environmental risks of crop production and, at the same time, sustain yield and quality. In this framework, the aim of this research was to study the effects of continuous cropping (CC) and crop rotation, tillage and fertilization strategies on durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) production. The responses of soil properties we...

in order to evaluate the effect of terminal water deficit stress on leaf traits and their relations to grain yield in different barley genotypes (‘yousof’, ‘fajr30’, ‘nosrat’, ‘pbyt-46’, ‘pbyt-97’ and ‘morocco’), two separated experiments were conducted in stress (water withholding from anthesis towards the end of growing season), and non stress (normal irrigation) conditions based on rcbd with...

The water resource shortage in North China Plain is an increasing threat to the sustainabilityof wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. A two-year field experiment was conducted toexamine the effects of two supplemental irrigation (SI) methods on wheat flag leaf senescence,chlorophyll fluorescence and grain yield. The following field treatments were conducted:no irrigation (W0); SI with 60 mm...
