abstract the irrigation water quality is not suitable for crop production in most regions of iran. it is estimated that almost six bcm/year of saline water enter to the rivers, in iran. the saline water can potentially use for growing of tolerant crops with a specific management on the agriculture practice. one of the management methods is the conjunction use of fresh and saline water. in this ...

Salinity is a phenomenon challenging the plantation and growth of grape in arid and semiarid regions. During the present research, tolerance of two grape cultivars (Soltanin and Fakhri) was evaluated against various sodium chloride salinity levels (zero, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mM), which was conducted based on factorial experiment in the form of Randomized Complete Design (RCD) with three re...

to evaluate growth characteristics and adaptation of new asian pear cultivars (pyrus serotina rehd.) in iran, some growth characteristics and physiological factors of nine asian pear cultivars named ‘ks’6, ‘ks’7, ‘ks’8, ‘ks’9, ‘ks’10, ‘ks’11, ‘ks’12, ‘ks’13, ‘ks’14 and one european, present commercial cultivar ‘shahmiveh’ of iran (control) were evaluated under the climatic conditions of tehran ...

on-farm experiments were designed to investigate the response of maize establishment and grain yield to variation in tillage systems. the tillage treatments included arara ploughing followed by zig-zag harrowing and arara ridging (t1); emcot ploughing fol-lowed by zig-zag harrowing and emcot ridging (t2); mouldboard ploughing followed by disc harrowing and mouldboard ridging (t3); disc ploughin...

in order to apply suitable methods for sugar beet seed sowing and determine the relation between yield and growth parameters in saline soils, two salt tolerant progeny lines were sown by five methods for two years (1995 and 1996) using a split plot design. growth parameters such as leaf area index, crop growth rate, total dry weight and relative growth rat were analysed. ph and ec of the soil a...

an experiment was conducted as a split plot based on complete randomized block design with three replications in the fall of 2010 at the farm of lorestan university, khorramabad, iran. four winter wheat cultivars (marvdasht, azar, shiraz and line m-79-7) as the main plot and levels of iron oxide nanoparticles (ion) along with control treatment were the subplot. iron fertilizer spraying was done...
