experiment was conducted as split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications in kermanshah to shed lights on economic analysis of deficit irrigation and integrated application of biological and chemical fertilizer son cultivation of medicinal plant borage (borago officinalis l). irrigation tritments include: a) 30% less water than crop requires invegetative, b) inreprodu...

sustainable agriculture for producing food is not possible without optimal use of water resources. because of the limitation of water resources, deficit irrigation would be essential to increase water productivity. in order to evaluate the effects of deficit irrigation on quality and quantity of sugar beet, an experiment was carried out in a farm in miandoab agricultural research station for 2 ...

the objective of this research was to investigate the effects of deficit irrigation on physiological and agronomic terms of eggplant to maximize the water use efficiency (wue) without affecting the final yield and fruit quality parameters under arid environment. therefore, two field experiments were conducted at two different sites: ghor al-safi, jordan valley and sail al-karak, karak valley, ka...

At present and more so in the future, irrigated agriculture will take place under water scarcity. Insufficient water supply for irrigation will be the norm rather than the exception, and irrigation management will shift from emphasizing production per unit area towards maximizing the production per unit of water consumed, the water productivity. To cope with scarce supplies, deficit irrigation,...

this study evaluates the effect of irrigation method on the water use efficiency and yield of onions at the zahak agricultural research station in sistan province. the testing was conducted using a split plot arrangement and a randomized complete block design with three replications during the 2005-2006 crop seasons. irrigation methods were basin and drip tape irrigation and the irrigation leve...

the response of plants to drought stress depends on several factors including the plant developmental stage and the length and severity of the stress applied. common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) is the most important pulse crop that is cultivated worldwide for human consumption. understanding of the mechanisms responsible for its response to drought is, therefore, essential. an increasing numbe...

water is the most limiting factor in irrigated agriculture, mainly in mediterranean environments, as in the case of southwest spain. in this area, almond is one of the most valuable crops due to its high drought tolerance. this work examines the crop coefficients (kc) based on four drainage lysimeters installed in an experimental young almond orchard. complementary, two deficit-irrigation treat...

abstract in order to investigate the response of two species of p. ovata and p. psyllium to water deficit. the experiment was conducted during 2009 growing seasons in the agriculture research station ferdowsi of mashhad. for this purpose a split plot experiment based on complete randomized block design with three replications was used. four irrigation levels (4000, 3000, 2000, 1000 m3/ha) alloc...

Grapes are one of the major fruit crops and they are cultivated in many dry environments. This study comprehensively characterizes the metabolic response of grape berries exposed to water deficit at different developmental stages. Increases of proline, branched-chain amino acids, phenylpropanoids, anthocyanins, and free volatile organic compounds have been previously observed in grape berries e...

abstract- efficient use of irrigation water for summer crops should be considered seriously due to rare occurrence of precipitation in summer. this research was focused on the assessment of water use efficiency for dominant crops of summer cropping pattern in the study area (i.e., maize and rice) via considering water productivity (wp) with different water management scenarios at farm level at ...
