Water Use Efficiency, Yield and Crop Coefficient (Kc) of Groundnut Crop at Different Water Regimes under Agro Climatic Condition of Raichur, Karnataka, India

Yield and water use efficiency of early potato grown under different irrigation regimes

Potato grown for early or off-season production plays a crucial role in the economy of several areas in the Mediterranean countries. Irrigation is important for determining yield and earliness, thus a better investigation of plant response under various pedo-climatic conditions can help to improve resource use efficiency and farmer income. A two-year field research (2009-2010) was carried o...

Determination of Crop Water Use and Crop Coefficient of Two Hybrids of Sunflower (Euroflor and Sirna) under Drip-Tape Irrigation System

The purpose of this study was to measure daily and seasonal evapotranspiration and daily crop coefficient of two common varieties of sunflower (Sirna and Euroflor) via drip-tape irrigation system. For this purpose, the sunflower water use was determined by daily monitoring of soil moisture at the depths of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60 cm, and the crop evapotranspiration (ETC) was measured using volume...

Alternative crop rotations under Mediterranean no-tillage conditions: Biomass, grain yield and water-use efficiency

effect of seed priming and irrigation regimes on yield,yield components and quality of safflowers cultivars

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...

A Worldwide Comparison of Water Use Efficiency of Crop Production

Worldwide food security and water safety issues necessitate countries with low water use efficiency of crop production (CWUE) to increase it and reduce regional CWUE variations. CWUE function was estimated with stochastic frontier analysis, and CWUE variation was decomposed on inter-continental, intra-continental and international level with variance decomposition method. It is proposed that in...
