the experiment was investigated to survey of yield and yield components of sunflower cultivars under drought stress in 2012 in kabootatabad of esfahan farm. an experiment was conducted in split plot and was designed in randomized complete block with three replications. irrigation was as main plots in 3 levels (control (normal irrigation), irrigation of 130 mm evaporation from pan evaporation, i...

BACKGROUND: Management of water deficit is a great factor to sustainable crop production, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Vermicompost is an organic compound that is microbial active and rich in nutrients that results from the interaction of earthworms and microorganisms with organic matter decomposition. OBJECTIVES: This research was carried out to ...

effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame investigated under controlled conditions. the primed seeds with znso4 had the maximum germination percentage whereas the highest germination rate was observed in hydro-primed seeds. the treated seeds with peg showed the best growth of the seedlings and rootlet. the complementary field experiment was conducted to evaluate the ef...

in order to investigate the effect of different irrigation regimes on yield and leaf proline content of a spring isfahan local variety of safflower, a field experiment was conducted as split plot in randomized complete block design with three replications at the research station of shahrekord university in 2013-2014. the main factor consisted of four different irrigation regimes (irrigation aft...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of cliniptilolite natural zeolite on deficit irrigation stress tolerance on maize cultivar ksc704. the experiment was laid out as a factorial design based on randomized complete block with three replications at seed and plant improvement institute, karaj in 2012. four irrigation levels, including irrigation after 70, 95, 120 and 145 mm cumulative...

in semiarid regions of iran, one of the crop production management methods is delayed irrigation after emergence. this is due to simultaneous water requirement of cereal and spring season crops. a field study was conducted in kabootarabad research station to investigate the effect of delayed irrigation on root yield, quality and growth trend using a rcb with four replications. the irrigation tr...

BACKGROUND: Vermicompost in sustainable agriculture is very useful for improving soil porosity and thereby providing more nutrients to crop. OBJECTIVES: Current research was conducted to evaluate effect of biofertilizer (vermicompost) under different level of irrigation on crop production and protein yield. METHODS: This study was c...
