ABSTRACT Water management is an essential concept for water intensive crop such as maize dealing with water shortage under drought conditions. Maize production is ranked after wheat and barely in Fars province, Iran. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of planting methods by conventional and modified planters on maize growth and yield at different irrigation re...

The major pathways for transport of pyrethroids were determined in runoff studies conducted at a full-scale test facility in central California, USA. The 6 replicate house lots were typical of front lawns and house fronts of California residential developments and consisted of stucco walls, garage doors, driveways, and residential lawn irrigation sprinkler systems. Each of the 6 lots also inclu...

ABSTRACT Weed interference is one of the factors that reduces carrot yield considerably. The aim this study was to determine periods weed in carrots cultivated under two localized irrigation systems. experiment used a completely randomized block design, with three replications, using split plot scheme. plots consisted systems (drip and micro sprinkler) subplots corresponded duration coexistence...

In recent years, bean common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) has caused serious yield losses in several countries. CBB is considered mainly a foliar disease in which symptoms initially appear as small water-soaked spots that then enlarge and become necrotic and usually bordered by a chlorotic zone. Xap epiphytic population community has a critical role...

In the North China Plain, drought usually occurs during interval between wheat harvest and maize sowing in normal dry years. The first irrigation for plays a critical role guaranteeing seed germination grain yields. Using experimental data from Xinxiang 2019 survey of 641 farmers Plain 2020, this study adopts cost-benefit analysis method to investigate impacts time well depths on farmers’ costs...

Drip irrigation is the most water efficient system available to water garden. Some systems are so efficient that they only allow a few liters of water per hour to fall into the soil and the best way to water the plants at ground level where they need it the most. Installing an irrigation system such as sprinkler or drip system without automation has always been a difficult and frustrating probl...
