Rice is one of the high water consuming crops and it is important to utilize methods in its production to promote water use efficiency. In order to achieve this purpose, a split plot experiment was conducted in direct-seeding of rice in Kazerun region of Fars province, Iran, in 2007. Five irrigation treatments (full-season flooding, full-season alternating, flooding until tillering stage, flood...

This experiment was conducted to determine evapotranspiration, crop coefficient and water use efficiency of cucumber and tomato for a period of six months in the Resarch Greenhouse of Urmia University. Daily evapotranspiration of cucumber, tomato and reference crop was measured using lysimeter method. Based on the results, cucumber evapotranspiration for growth period of 130 days was 272.4 mm a...

 In order to study the effects of bio fertilizers application on quantitative and qualitative yield, proline content and activity of some antioxidant enzymes in sunflower (Helianthus annus L.  var.  Urofelor) in different irrigation withholding levels, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of faculty of Agricultur...

To evaluate the effects of drought stress by withholding of irrigation during reproductive stages and foliar application of micronutrients (Zn, Mn and B) on seed yiled and oil quality, an experiment was carried out as split plot arrangements in randomized complete block design with three replications at Safiabad Agricultural and Natural Resources Research and Education Center, Dezful, Iran, in ...

In recent years, a lot of research has been done on the Aquacrop model, the results show that this model simulates the product performance for deficit irrigation conditions. But this model, like other models, is sensitive to values of independent variables (model inputs). In this research, the sensitivity of the Aquacrop model was analyzed for 4 input parameters of reference evapotranspiration,...

In order to investigate the effect of methanol on the activity of antioxidant enzymes, some compatible osmolytes and biochemical traits of wheat under cut off irrigation conditions, the present experiment as factorial was conducted based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications at the research farm of Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources of University of Mohaghegh Ar...
