This study investigated the interactive effects of different rates of deficit irrigation and timings of N application on wheat and barley yields since there was no report on this important subject. Field experiments in strip-plot designs using sprinkler line sources were conducted for two years at a semi-arid Mediterranean site. The experiments consisted of 4 and 7 irrigation levels with 3 and ...

Safflower (Carthamustinctorius L.) is an oilseed crop adapted to drought prone arid and semi-arid environments. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of water deficit stress on antioxidant activity, membrane stability index (MSI), leaf chlorophyll content, leaf area index (LAI) and their relationship with seed yield using 64 safflower genotypes grown under normal and water defici...

Aim. The aim of the work was to study realization productive potential bread winter wheat plants under drought (Triticum aestivum L.). Methods. Wheat cultivars Bogdana and Perlina Podyllja were grown optimal conditions until earing-flowering phase, after that experimental transferred regime for 8 days. Optimal water supply restored end vegetation. Leaf surface area, mass shoot grains measured d...

this research was conducted at torogh agricultural research station in khorasan-e razavi province to determine the impact of irrigation cutoff at different growth stages and percentage of water use on the yield and water use efficiency (wue) of wheat cultivars using sprinkler irrigation. the study was done from 2006-2008. the experimental design was a randomized complete block design with a str...
