redbud (cercis griffithii) is an iranian native species that plays a crucial role in protecting soil and water in zagros forestsareas. although many reforestation projects of this species in this area were unsuccessful, the restoration of redbud must continue using new applied studies to help conserve this precious resource. this can be achieved through increasing the quality and quantity of se...

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...

A study was conducted in the Shandong province in North China to investigate the effects of different planting patterns on water potential characteristics of soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) and yield of summer maize. Three planting patterns were applied, i.e. bed planting (BE), furrow planting (FU) and flat planting (FL). The results showed that although soil moisture content in 0–20 cm ...

9:30–10:10 Organic alternatives for cranberry fruit rot control/ Use of prophyte for Phytophthora root rot of cranberry/ Use of varying irrigation rates for cranberry cultivation (Bogs 11-16) A trial was planted to test the practical potential of several alternative establishment methods, particularly when plant material is limiting. The following aspects were considered: 1) quantity of plant m...

Transplantation of eelgrass Zostera marina has become a promising restoration tool since natural recolonisation during the last century failed after massive mortality, due to a combination of a wasting disease outbreak and a sequence of human impacts. We studied the interactive effects of planting density and hydrodynamic exposure on the survival of transplants of an annual population of intert...

In order to harvest higher yield of wheat, selection of suitable sowing technologies are of great importance. The objective of the present study included evaluation of profitability of innovative sowing technologies for wheat cultivation with limited water application by partial budgeting. Different sowing technologies i.e. Bed planting, Conventional tillage and Zero tillage were evaluated with...
