To evaluate the effect of planting method (PM), date (PD), and cultivar (CV) on yield, irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE), grain quality maize, a two-year field study was conducted during 2017 2018 growing seasons. The experiment arranged as split-plot factorial with three PD, including PD1 (July 1st), PD2 11th), PD3 23rd) main plots. Three PM direct seeding (DS), seed hydropriming (HP), tr...

Atmospheric nitrogen deposition and [CO(2)] are increasing and represent environmental problems. Planting fast-growing species is prospering to moderate these environmental impacts by fixing CO(2). Therefore, we examined the responses of growth, photosynthesis, and defense chemical in leaves of Eucalyptus urophylla (U) and the hybrid of E. deglupta × E. camadulensis (H) to different CO(2) and n...

No-till dryland winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-fallow systems in the central Great Plains have more water available for crop production than the traditional conventionally tilled winter wheat-fallow systems because of greater precipitation storage efficiency. That additional water is used most efficiently when a crop is present to transpire the water, and crop yields respond positively to ...

in order to study the effects of supplemental irrigation and planting arrangement on yield, yield components and water use efficiency (wue) of kabbuli chickpea (cv. arman), an experiment was carried out at the agricultural research station of gonbad for two years, iran. the experiment was a split-plot factorial arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. the main plo...

abstract water and nitrogen are the main limiting factors affecting agricultural production in arid and semiarid regions. therefore, improving the efficiency of these factors is very important. the method of fertilizer application is affecting water and fertilizer use efficiency. the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of furrow fertigation on fertilizer use efficiency (fue), ...
