concerning limitation of water resources, determination of the least water that can lead to the maximum yield is of great importance in crop production. in order to evaluate effects of deficit irrigation on grain yield and water use efficiency of some wheat )triticum aestivum) cultivars under different climatic conditions, two similar field experiments were conducted in 2004 in agricultural res...

ِdfferent drip (surface and subsurface) and furrow irrigation methods effects on grain, oil and water use efficiency based on grain black cumin(nigella sativa l.) as medicinal plants was investigated. for this purpose, experiment over the past two years (2009 and 2010) in a randomized complete block was designed in three replications. treatments in this research were consisting of 50, 75 and 100...

two glasshouse and field experiments were conducted to assess the effects of root system, water uptake, water use efficiency and early vigor on yield and drought tolerance of bread wheat in two successive farming seasons (2009-11). the experiments were conducted as randomized complete block design and two-year results analyzed as combined design. considerable genetic variation was observed amon...

the water deficit is the most important limiting non-biological factor to achieve the potential yield of crops. to evaluate the effect of silicon application on yield of millet under drought stress in field an experimental was carried out. treatments were included three irrigation regimes after 60 (non-stress), 90 (moderate stress) and 120 (severe stress) mm evaporation from evaporation pan, cl...

Use of bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes is common in many communities, particulary in places where there is no water of good quality. This type of water supply is an appropriate alternative in prevention of much investment in full- scaled water treatment and duall water distribution system. In Iran, where water is considered as a serious challenge, use of bottled water can be con...

drought stress is one of the important environmental factors reducing grain yield of plants in arid and semiarid regions. study the effect of water deficit stress on yield, water use efficiency and harvest index of sesame varieties, this experiment was conducted as a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications, at agriculture and natural resources research cen...

Although the agricultural sector consumes more than 90% of the extracted water, its efficiency is lower than other sectors. Also, according to the population growth and critical role of food security, and the necessity to supply water to other sectors, an increasing pressure to save water, optimized consumption and increasing water use productivity in agriculture will occur in the future. Nowad...

to determine sugar beet water requirement and the effect of changing the quantity of applied water on some production components, a study was carried out in ekbatan agricultural research station of hamedān, iran in four years (1994-1997) during which optimum water requirement, root and sugar yield, water use efficiency on the basis of root yield, sugar percentage and water use efficiency on the...
