In shallow rainfed rice agro-ecosystems, drought stress can occur at any growth stage and can cause a significant yield reduction. During recent years, some rice varieties possessing tolerance of reproductive-stage drought stress have recently been developed. Tolerance of vegetative-stage drought stress is also required to improve rice productivity in drought-prone regions. In this study, we ev...

in order to investigate the effect of sodium nitroprusside (snp) application on yield and yield components of kidney bean under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted in split-factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in hamedan, in 2012. water deficit stress at four levels including vegetative stress, reproductive stress vegetative+reproductive...

abstract in order to genetic investigation of drought resistance indices, on 25 maize inbred lines, an experiment was conducted under three irrigation regimes; normal irrigation, limited vegetative irrigation and limited reproductive irrigation. in the limited vegetative irrigation, tol (stress tolerance) index had the highest phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation (83.83% and 68.04%...

in order to evaluate the effect of salicylic acid on yield and yield components of bean genotypes under water deficit stress, an experiment was carried out as a factorial split plot design with three replications in research farm bu ali-sina university (hamadan, iran) during 2009. stress levels: consist of vegetative water stress, reproduction water stress and without water stress (control) and...

in order to study of sodium nitroprusside(snp) application effect on growth indices and water use efficiency of kidney beans cultivars(akhtar and derakhshan) under water deficit stress, an experiment was conducted in split factorial based in randomized complete block design with three replications in bu-ali sina university research field at 2012. water stress treatments included vegetative stre...

in order to study the sensitivity of vegetative growth to water deficit stress of a late-maturing peach (prunus persica l. cv. elberta) under orchard conditions, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete-block design with three treatments and four repetitions in shahdiran commercial orchard in mashhad during 2011. three irrigation treatments including 360 (low stress), 180 (moderate st...

such aabiotic stresses like water stress are some of the most important threats to the production of agricultural crops. it is almost very rare to find a place with no stress where plants can reach their potential yield. a water stress of 17 percent decrease yield, due to its effect upon fruit setting is notable. therefore, a study was conducted in bushehr agricultural research center (located ...

In the sub-tropics, water and nitrogen are the most important factors limiting the grain yield of maize. The effect of nitrogen (N) rates and drought stress at different growth stages of maize were investigated. Nitrogen treatments consisted of 100, 150, and 200  kgN.ha-1 from the urea source while water stress treatments were composed of irrigation-off since the early 10-leaf stage to emergenc...

Drought induced stress is one of the most significant environmental challenges. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of drought stress on crop yield and antioxidant systems during the vegetative period of wheat. The study was carried out in a greenhouse using factorial experiment based on complete randomized block design (RCBD) in three replications in Razi University in Iran from 20...

A field experiment was conducted during 2001-2003 to evaluate the effect of water stress on the yield and yield components of four rice cultivars commonly grown in Mazandaran province, Iran. In northern Iran irrigated lowland rice usually experiences water deficit during the growing season include of land preparation time, planting, tillering stage, flowering and grain filing period. Recently d...
