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...

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...

Plastic mulched ridge-furrow irrigation is a useful method to improve crop productivity and decrease salt accumulation in arid saline areas. However, inappropriate fertilizer practices may result ecological environmental problems. In order the resource use efficiency these areas, we investigated effects of different amounts (400 (I1), 300 (I2) 200 (I3) mm) nitrogen application rates (300 (F1) 1...

scarce water resources is a worldwide problem, still for iran, a country predominated by an arid and semi-arid climate, water limitation is more severe than for many other areas of the world. a field experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of irrigation regimes on growth, grain yield and irrigation water use efficiency in maize (zea maize l.) in 2006 at the research farm, college of ...

in order to determine the effects of water deficit at different growth stages of sugar beet and optimal usage of water on quality and quantity characters of sugar beet, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted with 13 treatments and four replications in 2000 and 2001 in agricultural research center of hamadan. for the first factor, irrigation withheld in th...

using medicinal plants as drug or spice in food have significantly increased in recent decades. also, production of this plants restricted by drought stress. therefor the aim of this was investigation of drought stress effect on fruit and essential oil yield of different endemic coriander genotypes. in this regard, 14 coriander genotypes subjected to two levels of water treatments in two separa...

in order to investigate the effects of saline waters on some soil characteristics, this experiment was conducted with three irrigation water salinity treatments contains 1.7-3.4, 8-9 and 11-12.5 dsm-1 (low, medium and high salinity) and two irrigation water managements with four replications in a wheat-fallow-sugar beet-safflower rotation. results show that in (1) irrigation management with low...

such aabiotic stresses like water stress are some of the most important threats to the production of agricultural crops. it is almost very rare to find a place with no stress where plants can reach their potential yield. a water stress of 17 percent decrease yield, due to its effect upon fruit setting is notable. therefore, a study was conducted in bushehr agricultural research center (located ...
