High air temperatures during the crop growing season can reduce harvestable yields in major agronomic crops worldwide. Repeated and prolonged high night air temperature stress may compromise plant growth and yield. Crop varieties with improved heat tolerance traits as well as crop management strategies at the farm scale are thus needed for climate change mitigation. Crop yield is especially sen...

in order to study the effects of supplemental irrigation and planting arrangement on yield, yield components and water use efficiency (wue) of kabbuli chickpea (cv. arman), an experiment was carried out at the agricultural research station of gonbad for two years, iran. the experiment was a split-plot factorial arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. the main plo...

in drought stress condition, it is important to estimate the n and k requirement of sugar beet. a drought-tolerant sugar beet genotype, bp karaj, was evaluated in split plot factorial design based on a randomized complete block design with four replications at motahari research station, karaj, iran for three years. main plots were allocated to irrigation treatments including normal irrigation (...

sugarcane is cultivated in extensive areas in khuzestan it is irrigated through hydro-flume and in furrows. for an evaluation of the effect of deficit- irrigation on sugarcane yield, this experiment was conducted. the treatments consisted of the conventional irrigation method (blank), variable, every other irrigation, (by alternative furrows) and invariable every other irrigation (by fixing the...

to evaluate the effect of water, tape drip and furrow irrigation methods on the performance components and features of agria cultivar potato, an experiment was carried out in the agriculture faculty of kermanshah. repeated three times, this study was carried out in the form of full random blocks with the main factor of different amounts of irrigation water in three levels (50, 75, and100 percen...

within the context of climate change, water scarcity is the major constraint to the viability of many crops. thus, it is necessary to develop strategies for sustainable water management, and introduce alternative crops to sustain the viability of agro-ecosystems. the main objective of this work was to assess the performance of hemp (cannabis sativa l.) subjected to different plant densities and...

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of three root canal irrigation solutions on the apical sealing ability of three root canal obturation materials: gutta-percha/AH plus or MM-seal and Resilon/Epiphany SE. A total of 100 teeth with single straight root canals were randomly divided into three equal groups of 30 samples each, with the other 10 teeth (5 positive and 5 negative) used as ...

introduction: water scarcity is one of the primary problems in arid and semi-arid regions such as iran. in these regions, increasing water productivity in agriculture sector is inevitable. water productivity can be increased using the drip irrigation method and application of irrigation strategies such as deficit irrigation. potato is the major crop in dehgolan plain. researches have shown that...

Assessment of soil erosion and sediment yield in furrow irrigation is limited in Samaru-Zaria. Data was collected in 2009 and 2010 and was used to develop a dimensionless model for predicting furrow irrigation-induced erosion (FIIE) using the dimensional analyses approach considering stream size, furrow length, furrow width, soil infiltration rate, hydraulic shear stress, soil erodibility, and ...
