In order to study the impact of drought stress and planting date on safflower yield and yield components, an experiment was performed in Tabriz region in 2011. The experiment was carried out as split-split plot based on randomized complete block design. The main factor which was applied as split plot includes drought stress  with three levels:  (S1) 80 ± 3 mm evaporation from basin level of cla...

effects of different planting on phenology, grain yield and its components of two sunflower culitvars were investigated. in 1996, an experiment was conducted in the experimental field of azad islamic university of khorasgan, located in khatonabad village, isfahan. the experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with a split plot layaout and four replications. the main plots co...

We present the first assessment of the impact of land use change (LUC) to second-generation (2G) bioenergy crops on ecosystem services (ES) resolved spatially for Great Britain (GB). A systematic approach was used to assess available evidence on the impacts of LUC from arable, semi-improved grassland or woodland/forest, to 2G bioenergy crops, for which a quantitative 'threat matrix' was develop...

Mechanically driven seed metering devices currently perform their function efficiently and are a good solution to the problem of metering rates as seed is planted, but there are many voids that could be filled with a substantial change to the metering process. Electronically controlled seed singulation devices can address many of the inefficiencies experienced in a mechanically driven seed mete...

the aim of this study was investigation the combined effect of terminal heat of last growth season and competition between plants on phenology, yield and components yield in faba bean. a field experiment with 3 sowing dates (28 november 2011, 15 december 2011 and 7 january 2012) and 4 plant densities (8, 12, 16 and 20 plants m-2) was conducted on faba bean (cv. barkat) at agricultural science r...

ABSTRACT- In this study, effect of deficit irrigation with different salinity levels and planting methods (in-furrow and on-ridge) on nutrient and toxic ions uptake by rapeseed was investigated in a two-year experiment. The experiment was conducted at Research Station, located in the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, I.R. of Iran. Results indicated that an increase in water stress leve...

A 2-year field study was conducted in northern Greece to investigate the effect of nitrogen fertilization and irrigation on productivity of three Greek chickpea varieties (“Amorgos” “Serifos”, “Andros”). Chickpea, grown under irrigation regime (30 + 30 mm of water) and fertilized with 50 kg·N·ha−1 before planting and with 40 kg·N·ha−1 at blossom growth stage, produced more total dry biomass and...

The existing traditional technologies of land preparation, such as leveling, chiseling, harrowing, mulching, and many other agro-technical measures performed by separate units, are labor-intensive, which costly overspending on material costs, where fuel consumption is 78-86 liters per hectare. In the unit that prepares lands, we proposing planting in one pass, five agrotechnical tillage operati...
