this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of application of super absorbent on the yield and water use efficiency of cucumber under deficit irrigation conditions in greenhouse. plants cultivated in plastic pots and irrigation emitter with four liters per hour discharge was performed. three levels of irrigation water height (10, 8.3 and 6.2 mm day-1) were used as the main factor ...

The objective of this project was to evaluate the safety of various intracanal irrigation systems by measuring the apical extrusion of irrigant. Twenty-two single canal, extracted mature teeth were instrumented and secured through the lid of a scintillation vial to collect apically extruded irrigant. A precision syringe pump delivered controlled amounts of irrigant at a constant flow. The irrig...

Dwindling water resources combined with meeting the demands for food security require maximizing water use efficiency (WUE) both in rainfed and irrigated agriculture. In this regard, deficit irrigation (DI), defined as the administration of water below full crop-water requirements (evapotranspiration), is a valuable practice to contain irrigation water use. In this study, the mechanism of paclo...

Environmentally sound management of N in apple orchards requires that N supply meets demand. In 1997, newly planted apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh. var. Golden Delicious on M.9 rootstock) received daily applications of N for six weeks as Ca(15NO3)(2) through a drip irrigation system at a concentration of 112 mg l(-1) at 2-8, 5-11 or 8-14 weeks after planting. Irrigation water was applied ei...

Context Local administration of antimicrobial agents offer a "site-specific" approach to the periodontal therapy and it has several benefits. Aim The present study was aimed to assess the clinical and microbial changes by subgingival irrigation using different subgingival irrigants in periodontitis patients and also to assess the mechanical effect of different local irrigation devices; if any...

sustainable agriculture for producing food is not possible without optimal use of water resources. because of the limitation of water resources, deficit irrigation would be essential to increase water productivity. in order to evaluate the effects of deficit irrigation on quality and quantity of sugar beet, an experiment was carried out in a farm in miandoab agricultural research station for 2 ...

Marigold cultivation is now a profitable enterprise to the farmers, but the socioeconomic data and information of this flower are very scarce in Bangladesh. Therefore, the study was conducted to identify agronomic practices, analyze relative profitability, and input-output relationship during February 2011. Primary data were collected from 100 randomly selected farmers from Jessore and Jhenaida...
