There is a lack of sufficient information on cotton responses to time and amount of foliar application of potassium (K) under salt stress environment, The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of potassium (as Solupotasse 50% K2O and 18% S) rate and application time on yield and yield components of cotton under saline field condition. A factorial experiment based on randomized ...

Expression of insecticidal protein in transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is lower in cotton reproduction organs, especially during boll development period. The current study investigated the effects of nitrogen fertilization under nitrogen deficit on boll development and Bt toxin content in boll shell, which is the first target of boll worm harm. The protein synthesis and degradation in thi...

Indiahas the largest area under onion (Allium cepa) crop but its average productivity (14.21 t ha-1) is considerably lower than the world’s average of 19.4 t ha-1. Besides low productivity, irrigation efficiencies are also very low i.e. 30-35% in India. Managing onion crop with less than adequate irrigation water availability is a challenge in several parts of the country. Options of i) deficit...

water resources are limited in most parts of the country, including isfahan,where cotton is cultivated but it’s planting time coincides with the sensitive stage of cereal grain growth. therefore, developing and adopting techniques that could maximize use of the existing resources is needed. to study the effect of basin and furrow irrigation methods on yield and some yield components of cotton  ...

Practical solutions to optimise nitrogen use efficiency within modern surface irrigated cotton systems in Australia may be possible by regulating the frequency of water and reducing N applied, compared with typical current practises. A two-year study examined effect irrigating at three different deficits that applied a similar total irrigation volume: >?60 kPa (HF), between ?80 ?100 (IF) ?120 (...

in order to evaluate the effect of zeolite application and selenium spraying on some physiological traits and grain yield in medicinal pumpkin (cucurbita pepo l.) under different moisture regimes, a study was conducted in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications during 2010 in takestan at gazvin province, iran. the three levels of irrigation facto...

The objectives of this experiment were (i) to determine the effect of water supply on the photosynthetic capacity of leaves, bracts, capsule walls, and stalks of cotton at different growth stages and (ii) to determine the contributions of these nonleaf organs to whole plant photosynthesis. Water deficit reduced the total surface area per plant but increased the proportion of nonleaf to total pl...
