water use efficiency is positively correlated with grain yield, and being used for indirect selection of high wheat yield in drought prone environments. yet little is known about genetic control of water use efficiency. in this research, a half diallel mating design was generated from crosses between 8 bread wheat to study the genetic of water use efficiency. parents and f1 progenies were plant...

Light use efficiency (LUE) defines the vegetation of converting radiative energy into biochemical through photosynthesis. Estimating maximum LUE (εmax) is critical yet challenging for quantifying gross primary production (GPP) using LUE-based models. This study describes an analytical method estimating εmax based on water (WUE) as determined by plant and carbon gain. Unlike other complex parame...

shoot:root ratio, dry matter partitioning, growth analysis, and water use efficiency of oat (avena sativa l., cv. walker) was investigated under excessive nitrogen (n) as 200 mg n kg-1 (n1p0), excessive phosphorus as 200 mg p kg-1 (n0p1), and combined 100 mg n+100 mg p kg-1 (n2p2), and the control (n0p0) as check in a pot experiment at dryland agriculture institute, west texas a and m universit...

a greenhouse experiment was conducted during the growing seasons (2008/2009 and 2009/2010) to investigate the effects of water quality and soil amendments, irrigation methods and rates on tomato (solanum lycopersicon l. cv. red gold) yield and water use efficiency (wue). irrigation management treatments were fresh (0.86 ds m-1) and saline waters (3.6 ds m-1), surface and subsurface irrigation m...

the use of recent technologies for the increase of growth indexes and the plants yields is an important aspects and till now many research works for this has been done. one of these efforts is the usage of magnetic water and zeolite for the increase of yield plants. this research work is an study on the effects of magnetic water and zeolite that has been done on frame work of pore random design...

The energy efficiency, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and carbon efficiency of paddy rice production were analysed in Sari in the Mazandaran province of Iran during 2011–2012. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with paddy producers. The results showed that the net energy gain was 27,932 MJ ha-1 and energy efficiency was 1.83 during production. The results o...

Although herbs have been important and attractive since long time ago, they have gained such popularity due to the adverse side effects of chemical medicines that nowadays their cultivation has become among significant agricultural programs of most developed countries. In order to study the effects of chemical, organic, and biological fertilizers on Medicinal Chamomile yield and its components,...

Invariably, many agricultural soils of the world are deficient in one or more of the essential nutrients needed to support healthy plants. Acidity, alkalinity, salinity, anthropogenic processes, nature of farming, and erosion can lead to soil degradation. Additions of fertilizers and/or amendments are essential for a proper nutrient supply and maximum yields. Estimates of overall efficiency of ...
