awareness of the effects of water deficit on quality and quantity yield of orange is essential for product managing at water shortage conditions. in this regard, present study was conducted in an orange garden of babol area in 2011 in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 5 replications. experiment treatments included full irrigation (fi), regulated deficit irrigation (rdi) and p...

Background: For decades, static stretching has been the standard benchmark for training programs, because it has been shown to increase flexibility compared with other methods of stretching. Objective: The current study investigated and compared the effects of active dynamic stretching and passive static stretching on hamstring tightness. Me...

the effects of grafting under conditions of deficit irrigation, on content of minerals leaf and root, evalutate in a field experiment under deficit irrigation was conducted with split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications, in the research field of higher education institution imam khomeini (ra) under the ministry of agriculture in karaj, during 2014. in this study, ...

Water stress is a frequent and critical limit to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in North China. It has been shown that photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) is closely related to crop production. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of deficit irrigation and winter wheat varieties on the PAR capture ration, PAR utilization and grain yield. Field experiments involved J...

The main effects of three different irrigation regimes, i.e., sustained deficit irrigation (SDI), regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) and non-irrigated (NI), on seed traits namely proanthocyanidins (PAs) were evaluated in the wine grape cultivar Aragonez (syn. Tempranillo) grown in Alentejo (Portugal) over two growing seasons. Results showed that while the number of seeds per berry was not affec...

lysimeter tests were conducted on shallow groundwater that supplies part of the maize water requirements to determine crop yield. twenty-four 0.8 m diameter lysimeters were buried in the test field at a depth of 1.2 m. the lysimeters were filled with the field soil (silty loam) and planted with summer maize. the groundwater depth in the lysimeters was set at 0.6 m using marriotte bottles. three...

crop models need more evaluation and study for use in deficit irrigation. the main objective of this paper was to study the efficiency and accuracy of dssat model, in estimating of moisture in the soil profile under two levels of water application¬¬¬ in silage maize field. two irrigation treatments including deficit irrigation (0.7 smd), and a full irrigation (smd) were considered for two years...

We conducted studies in a Paso Robles, CA, grape (Vitis vinifera L.) vineyard in 2002 and 2003 to estimate the impact of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) intensity and duration on western grape leafhopper, Erythroneura elegantula Osborn. Treatments were based on deficit intensity, 50 and 25% of standard irrigation (moderate and severe deficits, respectively), and deficit duration, 3 or 6 wk t...
