This study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of irrigation and application of Zn fertilizer on  seed storage proteins  in chickpea, Azad cultivar. Experiment was performed in an factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. In this experiment, two factor consist of irrigation in three levels (I1= non irrigation and I2= irrigation in...

limitations of water and nitrogen in soil usually restrict plant growth. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different amounts of supplemental irrigation at different growth stages and application of different rates of nitrogen fertilizer on grain yield and water productivity of wheat cultivars. a field experiment was conducted in the agricultural research station of shah...

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...

Microbial biomass C, soil respiration and CH4 emissions were measured during the whole rice growth period in rice paddies in black earth. The results showed microbial biomass C and soil respiration were depressed significantly by application of slow-releasing urea at the early stage of rice growth period (P<0.05), but were almost not affected by intermittent irrigation . CH4 emission, on the av...

Most P losses from surface-irrigated fields occur via runoff, are associated with eroded sediment, and can be minimized by eliminating irrigation-induced erosion. A convenient new practice that eliminates furrow irrigation-induced soil losses uses a high molecular weight, anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) applied to initial irrigation inflows. We hypothesized that, compared to control furrows, PAM t...

A field experiment was performed in order to evaluate the effects of irrigation and application of K fertilizer on seed storage proteins  in chickpea, ILC-482 cultivar. Experiment was performed in factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. In this experiment, two factor consist of irrigation in three levels (I1= non irrigation and I2= irrigation in flowering stage...

Quantifying the local crop response to irrigation is important for establishing adequate irrigation management strategies. This study evaluated the effect of irrigation applied with subsurface drip irrigation on field corn (Zea mays L.) evapotranspiration (ETc), yield, water use efficiencies (WUE = yield/ETc, and IWUE = yield/irrigation), and dry matter production in the semiarid climate of wes...
