infiltration process plays an important role in water cycle of the nature. conducting field experiments is necessary to determine the coefficients of infiltration equations due to the dependence of these coefficients to the soil type, soil surface conditions and the amount of initial soil moisture content. this study has been carried out in a field located in islamic azad university, marvdasht ...

most regions of iran are confronted with inadequate supply and excessive demand of water in agriculture sector mainly resulting from a high difference between water providing cost and its price. coping with such a challenge needs to determine the water price based on the economic principles and its value in agricultural production. the aim of this study was to determine the economic value of th...

in order to study of deficit irrigation levels on wheat grain yield cultivars based on water productivity indices, an experiment was conducted in a split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design at the field of agricultural and natural resources center of isfahan (kabutarabad research station). three levels of irrigations: 60% of full irrigation (f1) and 80% full irrigation (f2) and...

objective: soil salinity is one of the major worldwide environmental constraints affecting agricultural production in arid and semiarid regions. lack of proper management of water and soil resources lead to increase soil salinity and reduce soil fertility. on the other hand, it seems simple and cheap method of measuring soil salinity is necessary. the aim of this study was to determine the rela...
