The effects of nitrogen (N) addition on productive and physiological traits of Triticumdicoccum were assessed under two N levels (0, unfertilized, and 90 kg N ha−1) in fieldconditions, in two growing seasons. In the study case, the N supply (90 kg N ha−1) was appliedin three-split applications (20% at pre-plant stage, 40% at tillering stage, 40% at stemelongation). In unfertilized conditions, t...

In order to study the effect of irrigation interval, N fertilization and plant density on yield and yield components of fenugreek, a split-split-plot experiment was conducted in Darmian, Iran in spring 2010. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plots were subjected to different irrigation intervals of 5 and 10 days. The sub-plots wer...

extinction coefficient (k) is an important index that shows the rate of light decrease in canopy. net biomass accumulation is linearly related to cummulative light interception. the slope of this relationship is termed radiation use efficiency. a split plot experiment within randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in april 2001 in sugar beet research station in ka...

background and objectives: drought is one of the most important factor limiting plant growth around the world and the most common environmental stress which is limited produce approximately 25% of the world's land. production of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants changes by environmental condition and also water stress is effective factor in growth and synthesis natural compounds in...

Enhanced nitrogen (N) availability is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss and degradation of ecosystem functions. However, in very nutrient-poor ecosystems, enhanced N input can, in the short-term, promote diversity. Mediterranean Basin ecosystems are nutrient-limited biodiversity hotspots, but no information is available on their medium- or long-term responses to enhanced N input. Sin...

Many vital ecosystem processes take place in the soils and are greatly affected by the increasing active nitrogen (N) deposition observed globally. Nitrogen deposition generally affects ecosystem processes through the changes in soil biochemical properties such as soil nutrient availability, microbial properties and enzyme activities. In order to evaluate the soil biochemical responses to eleva...

A field experiment was performed from 2003 to 2008 to evaluate the effects of tillage system and nitrogen management regimes on crop yields and nitrate leaching from the fluvo-aquic soil with a winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-maize (Zea mays L.) double-cropping system. The tillage systems consisted of conventional tillage (CT) and no-tillage (NT). Three nitrogen management regimes were incl...
