this study was undertaken to identify morphological changes in young seedlings of 5 iranian almond species (prunus dulcis, p. eburnea, p. eleagnifolia, p. haussknechti, and p. scoparia) under polyethylene glycol-induced drought stress. drought stress caused a significant reduction in plant growth parameters such as fresh and dry weights of plant organs, leaf number, total leaf area, and leaf re...

in this research, amount of evaporation and transpiration and water requirement of wheat plant for marvdasht town (representation station: zaraghan) during 17-years statistical duration from 1989-2005 and properties of plant and soil are calculated using cropwat software. at the first, trends of dry and wet periods for mentioned station were determined using long-term average of climatic data (...

One of the effective steps in use of water resources is accurate estimation of plants water requirement. Lack of accurate estimation of this amount leads to water loss and failure to achieve optimum yield, reduced potential of production, soil resources degradation by too much irrigation or lack of enough leaching and salinization of soils by irrigation less than necessary level, which would ul...

shortage of water resources and increasing demand to consumption of this scarce resource, leads to somenoticeable limitations. on the other hand, population growth and consequently, increasing demand for water in aridand semi arid regions , needs production in exchange of little amount of water consumption. to approach thisobjective, an experiment in the complete randomized blocks carried out i...

in this research, the statistics of daily temperature of meteorology stations for estimating the probable occurrence of the first and last frost temperature, the phonological thresholds of saffron and its flowering and irrigation dates were explored. furthermore, by applying different methods, the probabilities of the attained dates in different probability levels were fit in smada software. th...

this paper reports the results of using three empirical methods (makkink, priestley-taylor and hargreaves) for estimating the reference evapotranspiration (et0) in the semi-arid region of tensift al haouz, marrakech (center of morocco). the penman-monteith equation, standardized by the food and agriculture organization (fao-pm), is used to evaluate the three empirical methods. the obtained et0 ...

today climate change is one of the most important human concerns this fact affected human life in different ways .  one of the most important impacts of climate change is on crops yield so that change in temperature  regime  particularly maximum and minimum  temperatures  is noticeably change plants production . in this research , is considered to  impact of climate change on water requirement ...

abstract this study was conducted to determine the impacts of different drip irrigation method and amount of water on yield and water use efficiency of tomato in varamin agricultural research center, iran. the study was done during two years. experimental design was randomized complete blocks design (rcbd) in split plot with three replications. three different drip irrigation method; surface dr...
