abstract- in this study, effect of deficit irrigation with different salinity levels and planting methods (in-furrow and on-ridge) on nutrient and toxic ions uptake by rapeseed was investigated in a two-year experiment. the experiment was conducted at research station, located in the college of agriculture, shiraz university, i.r. of iran. results indicated that an increase in water stress leve...

In China, the ridge-furrow water conservation planting (RC) system is advantageous for improving crop yields and rainwater use efficiency. In RC planting system, plastic film-mulched ridges are employed for water harvesting while the furrows serve as infiltration and planting belts. To optimize the RC system and to overcome problems due to the lack of water in semi-humid areas at risk of drough...

investigation of various irrigation methods and intercropping are effective strategies for increasing water use efficiency and improve crop production. a field experiment conducted to study the effects of alternate furrow irrigation on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of forage corn with annual alfalfa cropping under its canopy in ilam climate conditions. experiment carried out as a...

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  ...

Limited water availability in future due to climate change may impact wheat yield and the food security. Therefore, it is necessary find out agronomic solutions reduce drought induce losses wheat. Planting method affects by changing soil status root growth. This 2-year study was designed evaluate of various planting methods along-with irrigation deficit regimes at different growth stages on net...

Damage to cotton by Rotylenchulus reniformis below plow depth was evaluated in a sandy clay loam soil at Weslaco, Texas. In December 1999, 14 holes on 51-cm centers were dug 91 cm deep along the planting bed and adjacent furrow and 2 ml of 1,3-dichloropropene was placed 91, 61, and 30 cm deep as each hole was refilled and packed. This technique eliminated 96%, 81%, and 74% of R. reniformis down...
