BACKGROUND: Alternative furrow irrigation method is an effective procedure to reduce the amount of irrigation water in arid areas for economic production. OBJECTIVES: Assessment seed yield, its components and morphological characteristics of corn affected different level of irrigation regime and super absorbent polymer (SAP) under warm and dry climate con...

within the context of climate change, water scarcity is the major constraint to the viability of many crops. thus, it is necessary to develop strategies for sustainable water management, and introduce alternative crops to sustain the viability of agro-ecosystems. the main objective of this work was to assess the performance of hemp (cannabis sativa l.) subjected to different plant densities and...

effects of drought stress and chemical treatments was studied on growth and developmental traits of four barley cultivars using a split- split plot design (rcbd) in agricultural research farm, kerman university. main plots consisted of irrigation (control and drought stress after flowering), sub-plots consisted of four barley cultivars ( ʻnosratʼ, ʻafsalʼ, ʻyousofʼ and ʻuh12 lineʼ) and sub-sub ...

this study was carried out to determine the optimal irrigation intervals in sugar beet seed production fields and to evaluate the effects of irrigation at different growth stages of sugar beet seed bearing plants (cv. shirin) on seed qualitative and quantitative characteristics. the treatments were four irrigation intervals including a control (i1) (irrigation at three stages; planting, bolting...

throughout the present study some vegetative and reproductive characteristics of rosa damascene fewer than three different irrigation regimes (100, 70 and 40% of potential evapotranspiration) through an application of surface vs subsurface drip irrigation systems were investigated. some morphological characteristics investigated, included the number of branches per plant, shading diameter, plan...

introduction safflower) carthamus tinctorius l.) is a tolerant plant to water deficit due to long roots and capability for high water absorption from soil deeper parts. safflower can growth successfully in regions with low soil fertility and temperature. behdani and mosavifar (2011) reported that drought stress affect on yield by reducing yield components and agronomic traits. biofertilizer dur...

abstract- maize production, which is ranked after wheat and barely in fars province, iran, needs a considerable amount of irrigation water that is not available in scarce water conditions in drought situations. therefore, proper planting method can improve irrigation water management. the objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of two planting methods, on-bed and in furr...

to evaluate the effects of biological phosphorous, chemical fertilizers and limited irrigation regime on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two different grain sorghum cultivars (kimiya and speedeh), this experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments were arranged as split split plot...
