water deficiency is one of the most important factors for limiting crop yield in arid and semiarid regions. symbiosis with a variety of microorganisms in these regions is one of the modern ecological approaches for sustainable agriculture to reduce damages caused by environmental stresses. symbiotic of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (am) with the roots of crops has shown positive effects on agric...

abstract:background and objectives:in arid and semi-arid regions, salinity is a serious and chronic problem for agriculture. due to the improved methods of irrigation and mechanization this methods to increase water use efficiency and enhance the uniformity of water distribution in the field, is very important. main area of farming cotton in iran is about 150000 ha, which in kerman province mos...

given the scarcity of water resources using modern methods of irrigation in agriculture will be inevitable. today, process improvement, development and use of drip irrigation practices as one of the most advanced methods of irrigation in agriculture is increasing. so this study was conducted to determine the impacts of irrigation interval and drip irrigation method and their interactions on yie...

due to limitation of conventional water resources, the use of unconventional water for agriculture is unavoidable. therefore, in order to investigate the effect of using different amounts of municipal wastewater on yield, yield components and water use efficiency of cotton in drip irrigation systems, a field experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2011 growing season at experimental farm of ...

abstract soilless culture of greenhouse vegetables has been a fast developing section in iran during recent years. most growers use hydroponics systems with artificial substrates. some of the used substrates have low water retention which results in wasting a great deal of solution. on the other hand, low vigor of cucumber root in water and fertilizer absorption, especially in low media tempera...
