the drastic decline of precipitation over the past decade along with overuse of chemical inputs and consequent soil fertility reduction are the most important problems in the approach to agricultural expansion, particularly in urban landscaping. therefore, an experiment was designed to examine the effects of different irrigation levels (40, 70 and 100 % of field capacity, or fc) and different v...

hydrologic evaluation of landfill performance (help) model is one of the most accepted tools to simulate the hydrological attributes of landfills. although some major deviations from real values has been reported about the calculated results for leachate generation by help model but other researchers and/or engineers in practice have used it in some places to estimate amount of leachate produce...

abstract the saturated hydraulic conductivity (ks) is an important physical property of soil. the direct measurement of this property in soils is a difficult and time consuming process. pedotransfer functions (ptfs) provide an alternative by estimating soil parameters from more readily available soil data. the objective of this study is to determine effective factors on soil hydraulic conductiv...

since there is limited information on the simultaneous effect of drought stress and salicylic acid on yield and mucilagecontent of the medicinal herb, plantago ovata forssk is available, a pot experiment was conducted in factorial form basedon a randomized complete block design with three replications in jiroft, kerman province, south of iran. as the firstfactor, drought stress included four le...

in order to determine the effects of zinc foliar application on yield and its components single cross 704 under water stress condition, experiment was carried out at agricultural research center of varamin, in southeast of tehran, during 2007-2008. field experiment was conducted in split plot design based on randomized completely block at three replications. main plots included water stress at ...

in order to study the effects of drought stress and organic fertilizers (compost and vermicompost) on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of borage, an experiment with complete randomized block design in split plot arrangement with three replications was conducted in zabol university, zabol, iran. the treatments included 3 levels of stress as a witness or 100% of field capacity, ...

the nutritional value of cereal straw can be increased using urea treatments as a source of ammonia. the conventional urea treatment process for cereal straw is a laborious and time-consuming task. it is essential to facilitate or eliminate part of the procedure with the use of machinery. this study examines the mechanical urea treatment of wheat straw and compares chemical components and diges...

One of the important issues in the analysis of soils is to evaluate their features. In estimation of the hardly available properties, it seems the using of Data mining is appropriate. Therefore, the modelling of some soil quality indicators, using some of the early features of soil which have been proved by some researchers, have been considered. For this purpose, 140 disturbed and 140 undistur...
