STUDY OBJECTIVE Local nasal hyperthermia or inhalation of heated water vapor is often recommended as a home remedy for various rhinitis disorders such as the common cold and allergic rhinitis. Inhaled heated vapor treatments and simple saline solution nasal irrigation were investigated for their effect on inflammatory mediator production in nasal secretions. DESIGN Three treatments were given...

abstract three pear genotypes (nazkeh, lasoreh and qevilah), grown in 2l containers, were studied under four irrigation regimes in order to evaluate the leaf relative water content (rwc), photosynthesis, leaf gas exchanges and plant dry weight induced by water stress. control treatment everyday was irrigation. irrigation was practiced when soil water potential reached at -0.4, -0.8, and -1.2 mp...

in order to study the effects of drought stress and nitrogen (n) levels on grain yield, yield components and water use efficiency of grain corn (sc.704), a field experiment was conducted in 2009 growing season. the experiment was split-plot based on randomized complete block design arrangement and four replicates. main plots were three irrigation levels included optimum irrigation (i1), moderat...

crop models need more evaluation and study for use in deficit irrigation. the main objective of this paper was to study the efficiency and accuracy of dssat model, in estimating of moisture in the soil profile under two levels of water application¬¬¬ in silage maize field. two irrigation treatments including deficit irrigation (0.7 smd), and a full irrigation (smd) were considered for two years...

awareness of the effects of water deficit on quality and quantity yield of orange is essential for product managing at water shortage conditions. in this regard, present study was conducted in an orange garden of babol area in 2011 in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 5 replications. experiment treatments included full irrigation (fi), regulated deficit irrigation (rdi) and p...
