Regionalization of dryland farming potential as influenced by droughts in western Iran
Clustering was used to divide dryland farming areas in western Iran into homogeneoussub-regions to identify dryland farming potential, considering drought impacts. Clusteringutilized eight algorithms/four indices to detect optimal number of clusters. Ward’s algorithmvalidated by Silhouette index, produced the best result by detecting 7 dryland farming clusters.Based on similar P/ETo values, fou...
متن کاملFactors affecting white clover persistence in New Zealand pastures
Better persistence and reliability of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) is critical in achieving a more competitive New Zealand farming industry. To persist, white clover must establish well and withstand the accumulated stresses of competition from associated grasses, grazing, variable soil fertility, drought, plus pest and disease pressure. These factors vary markedly with environment and fa...
متن کاملAgronomic options for improving rainfall-use efficiency of crops in dryland farming systems.
Yields of dryland (rainfed) wheat in Australia have increased steadily over the past century despite rainfall being unchanged, indicating that the rainfall-use efficiency has increased. Analyses suggest that at least half of the increase in rainfall-use efficiency can be attributed to improved agronomic management. Various methods of analysing the factors influencing dryland yields and rainfall...
متن کاملStudying Drought Tolerance in Thymus kotschyanus Accessions for Cultivation in Dryland Farming and Low Efficient Grassland
This study was carried out to evaluate drought stress tolerance in Thymus kotschyanus accessions using a factorial experiment based on a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 replications during 2013-2014 in Qom, Iran. The first factor was the accession with 17 levels and the second factor was drought stress with three levels of irrigation including 80% (control), 60% and 40% Field Capacity...
متن کاملAdvances in Dryland Farming in the Inland Pacific Northwest
Soil amendments can improve the sustainability of agricultural systems by building soil carbon and improving numerous other soil health indicators, including soil structure, water infiltration and retention, bulk density, nutrient availability, and microbial activity. This chapter covers some general considerations relevant to the use of soil amendments followed by a discussion of biosolids, an...
