Rice is an essential crop in Iran that is grown mostly in areas where depth to groundwater is low. Root growth and water uptake of rice under shallow groundwater has not been thoroughly studied. This experiment was conducted to determine the lowland rice (cv. Ghasrodashti) root distribution above shallow groundwater in relation to deficit irrigation and groundwater depth in cylindrical gre...

This research was designed to evaluate and compare the applicability of two different types of irrigation including traditionally (surface irrigation) and simple sub-surface drip irrigation (using pricked-pipe covered with plastic cloth). Two plots containing 39 pistachio trees with 720 m2 area were selected in Rafsanjan, Iran. Both plots were irrigated using exactly the same quantity and quali...

in order to determine the hygiene indices of bathing water, and it's water quality, a survey and laboratory analysis was recently undertaken on 34 outdoor public swimming pools out of a total 126 in tehran metropolitan area according to simple random sampling without replacement. this survey revealed remarkable evidence of waver bacterial contamination at heavy bather load time. examined water ...

A comprehensive survey of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) was conducted in Swat Pakistan, from April to September during 2000. The survey involved the sampling of both, adult and immature stages of mosquitoes, and recovered a total of 21 species in five genera. Sampling of adult mosquitoes involved Pyrethrum spray collections, Man-biting collections, and Animal-biting collection. Immature stage...

An AlSi11Cu alloy was obtained by additive manufacturing (AM) using powder bed fusion selective laser melting (SLM) from powders with a mean particle size of 40 μm. The printed presented abnormal pools (MPs) sizes distribution described double fit normal logarithmic function that allowed the identification two groups values 150 μm and 320 mechanical properties indicated yield strengths between ...

This study aimed to evaluate the fruit yield and the distribution of ‘Tommy Atkins’ mango root system under different irrigation regimes in the semiarid region of Bahia. The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments and three replicates: 1 Irrigation supplying 100% of ETc in phases I, II and III; 2 Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) supplying 50% of ETc in phase I (begi...

in order to investigation of irrigation management and plant density effects on water productivity of rice, a field experiment was conducted in the rice research institute of iran (rasht) during 2001 and 2002. the study was carried out in a split plot design with four different irrigation regimes as main plots and three plant densities as subplots. in this experiment, oryza2000 model was used t...

to investigate the efficiency of eradicane application, using herbigation as compared with conventional method (spraying), concerning weed biomass and density reduction and change in corn grain yield, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design in 2006 at research fields of university of tehran (karaj). eradicane was applied at 4.5 (labeled rate), 3.15 or 5.85...
