Cut-flower production of Rosa hybrida ‘Kardinal’ and ‘Fire and Ice’ were compared between two canopy management regimes: shoot-bending and hedgerow without shootbending, and between hydroponics and non-hydroponic (UC Mix) culture with a tensiometer-based irrigation system. We observed the number and length of all harvestable flowering shoots from September 1997 to August 1999 in order to assess...

HIGHLIGHTS The number of flowers, the abortion rate, and fruits per flower cluster directly influence processing tomato yield. Deficient or excessive irrigation levels impair flowering increase flowers tomato. Irrigation management is essential for yield crops from Brazilian Cerrado.

Saline water irrigation has been considered a useful practice to overcome the freshwater shortage in arid and semi-arid regions. Assessing scheduling appropriate amount, salinity, timing is essential maintaining crop yield soil sustainability when using saline agriculture. A field experiment that included two levels (traditional deficit irrigation) three salinities (0, 5, 10 dS/m) was carried o...

Grain yield (GY) prediction for wheat based on canopy spectral reflectance can improve selection efficiency in breeding programs. Time-series information from different growth stages such as flowering to maturity is considered have high accuracy predicting GY and combining this multiple could effectively accuracy. For this, 207 cultivars lines were grown full limited irrigation treatments, thei...

In order to investigate the effect of drought stress and application chemical biological fertilizers potassium maize cultivars on micronutrient uptake, protein content, proline changes, an experiment was conducted as a split-plot based randomized complete block design with three replications. The main factor levels treatment, irrigation, irrigation cut at 12 leaf stage flowering stage; first su...

To date, the evaluation of performance Mediterranean native plants under urban green roof conditions has been limited to monoculture studies. However, grow naturally in plant communities and therefore it is interest evaluate their growth realistic conditions, including interactions among species. The present study aims growth, flowering, self-reproduction capacity three artificially created con...

Greywater is considered as a valuable resource with a high reuse potential for irrigation of household lawns and gardens. However, there are possibilities of surfactant and sodium accumulation in soil from reuse of greywater which may affect agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability adversely. We conducted a glasshouse experiment to examine variation in growth, water and nutrie...
