abstract to optimal use of available water, irrigation scheduling is important to over scarcity of water resources in arid and semi-arid area. in this research to estimate of maximum allowable deficit (or: management allowed depletion) and irrigation scheduling of fodder mays based on canopy-air temperature difference, a field study was conducted in agricultural faculty of karaj. the lower limi...

in order to investigate effect of deficit irrigation on phenological stages and yield of soybean cultivars, an experiment was conducted as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural research farm, university of guilan in 2009. main factor was included four irrigation levels based on potential moisture 30-35 (i1), 50-55 (i2), 70-75 (i3) centibar...

the effect of different fertilizing systems and drought stress during grain development on grain minerals of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) was studied in field experiments on a clay-loamy soil during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. the treatments consisted of three irrigation regimes (main plots) of: non-stressed (ns, normal irrigation continued until the end of plant physiological maturity), ...

in order to study water deficit tolerance in thymus daenensis subsp. daenensis ecotypes, seeds of eight ecotypes were collected from different locations. seedling are produced in greenhouse, and then transferred to field as an experiment of split plot design based on rcbd with three replicates. three irrigation treatments (normal irrigation, prevention of irrigation at the start of flowering an...

2 The aim of this study was to establish threshold TGR and MDS values which could be 3 used in regulated deficit irrigation in future work. Three irrigation treatments were 4 performed during three seasons in a 37 year-old table olive orchard in Seville (Spain). 5 Control treatment was irrigated with 125% of the crop evapotranspiration. Regulated 6 deficit irrigation (RDI) treatments were perfo...

In a semi-arid environment, the main challenge for crop production is water limitation in space and in time. Considered as appropriate tools, models are used to evaluate the effects of water deficit on crop productivity for better irrigation planning and sustainable yield. The AquaCrop model was tested using data collected during a 4-year experiment on soybean (Glycine max L. Merril) and s...

This investigation was done in order to study the response of grain yield and yield components of bread wheat cultivars to drought stress in western Iran in 2008-2009. The main plots were levels of drought stress (full irrigation, stress at early stem elongation, flowering and grain filling stages) and subplots were five cultivars (Chamran, Dez and Verinak). The results indicated that the effec...

introduction sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) is one of the most important oil crops in the world. iran is climatically regarded as an arid and semi-arid region in the world, where the lack of precipitation and its inappropriate distribution, high temperature and extensive evaporation makes the irrigation the main way for meeting plants water demand. hence, studying the effect of irrigation on ...
