considering the deleterious effects of chemical pesticides used in agriculture including cotton cultivation, the search about integrated control strategies for important cotton diseases, verticillium wilt and rhizoctonia seedling damping-off is clearly obvious. in this present study, the researcher investigated the effectiveness of the integration of two strategies, biological control (using an...

this study was conducted to determine regression equations for the prediction metabolizable energy value corrected for zero nitrogen retention (amen) in 12 wheat cultivars (mahdavi, chamran, sabalan, sepahan, sivand, alamoot, sholeh, neishaboor, pishtaz, bahar, shiraz and shahpasand) cultured in alborz province of iran. chromic oxide marker bioassay was used to determine wheat cultivars nitroge...

In arid and semi-arid regions of the world, occurrence prolonged drought events (megadroughts) associated with climate change can seriously affect balance between water supply demand, thereby severely increasing susceptibility such to adverse impacts. this study, a simple framework is introduced estimate renewable volumes (RW) mitigate challenges megadrought by managing groundwater resources. T...

limitation of water resources in iran motivates sustaining and preserving of the resources in order to supply future water needs. fulfilling these objectives will not be possible unless having accurate water balance of watersheds. the purpose of this study is to estimate the water balance parameters using a distributed method. the large number of distributed models and methods was studied and “...

This study was designed to determine the culling rates of 23 Holstein dairy herds (with an average size of180 cows per herd) in Neyshabur area in northeastern Iran over a period of three years from 2001 to 2003.The average annual culling rate was 13.1%, (98.5% involuntary and 1.5% voluntary). Of the total disposals(1612 cows), 53.48% were culled by the end of five years of age. Poor fertility w...

introduction crop productivity is highly constrained by water and nitrogen limitations in many areas of the world (kalra et al., 2007). therefore, there is a need to investigate more on nitrogen and water management to achieve higher production as well as quality. irrigated sugar beet in the cropping systems of khorasan province in northeastern of iran accounts for about 34% of the land area un...
