The most important effect of water stress on plants is that it reduces leaf area and leads to changes in morphology. Decreased results crop yield through the reduction photosynthesis. This study investigates effects decrease seed cotton yield, evapotranspiration (ET), use efficiency (WUE), geometry under different growth periods. plant was divided into three periods (vegetative period (VP), flo...

A two-year field experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jessore during the rabi seasons of 2002—2003 and 2003-2004 to find out the level of disease incidence under different levels of irrigation and fungicide spray on the bulb yield of onion. Four irrigation levels: no irrigation (I1), irrigation at 10 days interval (I2), 20 days interval (I3), and 30 days interval ...

In the present study, some nutritional imbalances, specific ion toxicity and yield-ion concentration relationships in maize under water, nitrogen (N) and salinity stresses were assessed. Effect of different levels of irrigation water (I1=1.0ETc+0.25ETc as leaching, I2 =0.75I1 and I3 =0.5I1) as main plot, salinity of irrigation water (S1=0.6, S2= 2.0 and S3=4.0 dS m-1) as sub-plot and N fertiliz...

The experiment was carried out at Agronomy Field laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Agricultural Extension, university of Rajshahi, to study the effect of irrigation and sowing method on yield and yield attributes of mustard. The experiment consists of two factors i) irrigation viz. no irrigation (I0), one irrigation (I1)and two irrigations (I2) ii) sowing method viz. line sowing method (M1...

abstract in order to study the effects of cultivation method and water quantities in drip irrigation on yield of potato, an experiment was carried out using a split plot based on randomized complete block design with 4 replications in torogh agricultural research station (mashhad, iran) for tow years (2001 and 2002). the main-plots were divided into 3 levels of irrigation: i1= 100, i2= 80 and i...

this study was carried out to determine the optimal irrigation intervals in sugar beet seed production fields and to evaluate the effects of irrigation at different growth stages of sugar beet seed bearing plants (cv. shirin) on seed qualitative and quantitative characteristics. the treatments were four irrigation intervals including a control (i1) (irrigation at three stages; planting, bolting...

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of deficit irrigation and mulch levels on soil physical properties and growth and yield of maize crop. The experiment comprised of two irrigation levels, i.e. I1: 558.8 mm and I2: 711.2 mm while two mulch levels, i.e. M0: no mulch and M15: 15 Mg ha. Soil samples were collected from 0-10, 10-20, and 20-30 cm depths before sowing and at crop ha...

In order to determine the best developmental stage of soybean at which maximum seed quality is attained under different shadings (S1, S2, S3: 0, 35 and 75% shade, respectively) and irrigation treatments (I1, I2, I3, I4: irrigation after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm evaporation from class A pan, respectively), two split plot experiments using randomized complete block design with three replications we...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of soil water deficit on insecticidal protein expression in boll shells of cotton transgenic for a Bt gene. In 2014, Bt cotton cultivars Sikang 1 (a conventional cultivar) and Sikang 3 (a hybrid cultivar) were planted in pots and five soil water content treatments were imposed at peak boll stage: 15% (G1), 35% (G2), 40% (G3), 60% (G4), and 75%...

Critical growth stage of cotton crop was investigated by artificially imposing water stress under field conditions. The crop was given water deficit stress for a period of 30 days at squaring (SS) and first boll split (BS) phases by maintaining the leaf water potential (yw) at –2.2+0.2 MPa whereas in control plots yw was maintained at -1.6+ 0.2 MPa by irrigation scheduling. The average irrigati...
