introduction: limited water resources and its salinity uptrend has caused reducing water and soil quality and consequently reducing the crop production. thus, use of saline water is the management strategies to decrease drought and water crisis. furthermore, simulation models are valuable tools for improving on-farm water management and study about the effects of water quality and quantity on c...

The pressure of economic cost and environmental constraints dictates that farmers must optimize the use of nitrogen fertilizer. Industrial uses of new wheat varieties require specific and stable grain protein concentration, which needs accurate estimation of N demand during the crop cycle. Thus breeding for high N use efficiency (NUE) and yield, whilst maintaining high grain protein concentrati...

agricultural drought has resulted in great damage to iran in recent years and it is crucial to cope with this adversity through logical management. one attempt in this regard is to compare affected sites and prioritize them for action plans. this paper develops a methodology for agricultural drought risk analysis based on rain-fed wheat data from kermanshah province and employs it to compare af...

irrigation with saline water needs to the different managements to reduce the harmful effects of salinity on plants, soil and the environment. simulation models are the useful tool to irrigation management in conditions of soil and water salinity because, they can predict crop yield and soil conditions considering to different climate, plant and management practices. in this study, the saltmed ...

abstract field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of sowing date, crop density, and weed interference on yield and yield components of chickpea in lorestan province during 2005-06. the experimental was a randomized complete block design by factorial arrangement with 4 replications. the experiment had 3 factors: sowing date at 2 levels (autumn, and winter), crop density at 3 levels...
