the considerable role of ziziphus spina christi in preserving water and soil and its resistance to heat and drought, the necessity of planting this species for afforestation and restoration of their habitats and urban green space is obvious. the aim of this study was to determine the best irrigation and seedbed treatments before planting for ziziphus spina christi seedling production. this stud...

Abstract In order to evaluate crop water stress index (CWSI) and canopy temperature of wheat cultivars under terminal drought stress, a field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station of Shiraz University, Shiraz, during 2009 growing season. Five wheat cultivars including Shiraz, Bahar, Pishtaz, Sistan and Yavaros and four levels of water regime including well watering [Irr...

Salicylic acid (SA) is a phyto-hormone that regulates physiological and biological processes in plants and can be used to improve plant growth under different environmental conditions, including water stress. Thus, a field experiment as split plot factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications was conducted in 2014 to investigate the effects of fertilizer and salic...

Drought-tolerant perennials are intensively sought-after plants for decorative purposes. Perennial ferns cold-hardy cultivars that great shady to partially shaded areas of the garden, but their response drought stress is unknown. In this study, we examined how reduced watering altered growth Athyrium niponicum ‘Red Beauty’, Cyrtomium fortunei ‘Clivicola’, Dryopteris atrata, erythrosora, Dryoper...

As a consequence of the Global Warming, decrease in water resources is problem that affects agricultural systems worldwide. In particular, Warming has produced sustained precipitation Mediterranean-type climatic zones and more frequent presence droughts. A dry-and hot environment could negatively affect physiology fruit tree, compromising its growth development rates, especially, yield tree res...
