Safflower model for simulation of growth and yield under various irrigation strategies, planting methods and nitrogen fertilization
Authors
Abstract:
Development and use of crop growth models is an effective tool for agricultural planningand decision making in agricultural industry. Besides, the drought and limited supplies of waterin many areas of the world has increased attention to favourable strategies in farm managementsuch as efficient irrigation and planting methods. The objective of this study was to develop acrop model for safflower known as a multi-purpose crop under various irrigation regimes,planting methods and nitrogen fertilization. The experiment was designed as split-split plot thatarranged in randomized complete blocks with irrigation strategy as the main plot, plantingmethod as the subplot and nitrogen levels as the sub-subplot in three replications. The irrigationstrategies consisted of ordinary furrow irrigation (OFI) and variable alternate furrow irrigation(VAFI) as a partial root drying (PRD) technique. The planting methods were on-ridge planting(P1) and in-furrow planting (P2) methods. The fertilizer levels were 0 (N0), 100 (N1) and200 (N2) kg ha-1 of urea as 0, 46 and 92 kg N ha-1. Two years of the experiment carried out in asemi-arid area from 2012 to 2014. The field data of the second year of experiment were used todevelop the model and it was validated by the data of first year. The results indicated that theproposed safflower model is able to estimate evapotranspiration, soil water content, leaf areaindex, soil surface evaporation, crop transpiration, biomass, straw and seed yield of safflower inan appropriate manner. The safflower model is useful for having better field management andreducing administrative costs with respect to the model simplicity and its briefness in data input.

The Saffron Yield Estimation Model (SYEM) was modified for salinity conditions, cowmanure application and planting methods using two-year experiments data in Badjgah region ofIran. A split-split plot arrangement was conducted in complete randomized block design duringtwo years with irrigation water salinity levels (0.45 (fresh water, S1), 1.0 (S2), 2.0 (S3) and 3.0(S4) dS m-1) as the main plot,...

The effect of planting methods on maize growth and yield at different irrigation regimes
ABSTRACT- Maize production, which is ranked after wheat and barely in Fars province, Iran, needs a considerable amount of irrigation water that is not available in scarce water conditions in drought situations. Therefore, proper planting method can improve irrigation water management. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of two planting methods, on-bed and in furr...
full textDeveloping a dynamic yield and growth model for saffron under different irrigation regimes
Better irrigation management and more efficient management of crop production require modeling of plant growth and crop yield. More applicable models are usually simple and requires less and accessible inputs. The objective of this study was to develop a model for growth and yield prediction of saffron under various irrigation regimes. In this modeling soil water budget and other simple rel...

Yield and nitrogen leaching in maize field under different nitrogen rates and partial root drying irrigation
Irrigation water is limiting for crop production in arid and semi-arid areas. Furthermore, excess nitrogen (N) application is a source of groundwater contamination. Partial root drying irrigation (PRD) can be used as water saving technique and a controlling measure of groundwater N contamination. The objectives of this investigation were to evaluate the effect of ordinary furrow irrigation (OFI...
