Nowadays, applying soil amendments is one of the most important ways to cope with water shortages and improve soil physical properties. In this regard, a greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of irrigation water and wheat straw biochar on physical and chemical properties of a sandy loam soil, after harvesting faba bean. The experiment was performed with 5 b...

salinity tolerance is one of the most important affecting factors on agricultural production in arid and semi-arid areas. in order to study the effects of saline and fresh water irrigation with application of organic and npk fertilizers on cumin, a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was carried out with three replications during 2011 and 2012, at the research farm o...

introduction water shortage in iran has always been a limiting factor for crop cultivation. drought stress at different growth stages, especially flowering and grain filling stages decreases the yield of the plants. drought stress may limit yield of medicinal and aromatic plants by reducing the harvest index (hi). this can occur even in the absence of a strong reduction in total medicinal and a...

management of unconventional water management in agricultural lands reduces environmental risks and increases its productivity. the purpose of this study was evaluating and comparing the effect of wastewater, saltwater and brackish water on some soil physical and chemical properties. for this purpose, five study sites including control area, irrigation with saltwater, brackish water wastewater ...

The effects of irrigation water salinity on growth, chlorophyll contents, proline and nutrients accumulation and K/Na ratio in three walnut cultivars was investigated. Three irrigation water salinity levels with electrical conductivities of 1,5, 3, and 5.0 dS/m and tap water as a control treatment were used in a randomized design with four replications. Irrigation practices were realized by con...
