abstract saturated water content is one of the important parameters which its measurement is necessary in estimation of soil water retention and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curves. in several researches, saturated water content is assumed to be equal to soil total porosity. in some others, its value is estimated by pedotransfer functions using readily available parameters, such as bulk d...

introduction lentil (lens culinaris medik.) is an important legume in the mediterranean area. high protein content in lentil seed (about 22-28%) makes it as a good food source for developing countries and low-income people. in the west of iran such as kermanhah province, it is the most important pulse in rainfed systems cultivated traditionally in rotation with wheat and barley. lentil is grown...

introduction drought stress is one of the most yield reduction factor of lima bean where effects on the more than 60% of bean world production. in this regard, solutions that help increase productivity with high water efficiency in this region can change the agricultural crop production. one of the solutions is using organic materials (acid humic). humic acid with linkage of water molecules and...

drought is the main constraint limiting chickpea productivity which makes a considerable difference between the potential and actual yield. in order to evaluate the effect of drought stress on different morpho-physiological characteristics of chickpea, four distinct genotypes were studied in three sampling times (pre-stress, stress and recovery) with three replications. as the results implicate...
