abstract shortage and improper distribution of rainfall in tea growing period are important growth limiting factors in tea fields in northern part of iran. if there is not any other limited factors, supplemental irrigation by sprinkler can increase tea yield. this study was carried out in order to investigate the optimum sprinkler irrigation interval on yield and water use efficiency of tea. th...

abstract due to limited water resources and occurrence of recent droughts, the use of new management and planning methods for optimal irrigation scheduling of agricultural crops is inevitable. present of appropriate mathematical and dynamic relationship between yield, evapotranspiration and water use efficiency parameters is the first and most important step in the optimal management of irrigat...

this research was conducted at the shahrood agricultural research center in 1382 and 1383 to study the effect of alternate furrow irrigation on potato yield and its economic evaluation. the experimental design was a randomize complete block design and the treatments were: every furrow irrigation (efi), fixed alternate furrow irrigation (fafi), variable alternate furrow irrigation (vafi), fixed ...

water use productivity is one of the most important factors in scientific agriculture. it is equal to 0. 7 kg of production per cubic meter of irrigation water (kg/m3) in iran which is very low in comparison with advanced countries (1 to 2 kg/m3). current research studies temporal and spatialchanges of water use productivity in hamedan province in iran using geographic information system (gis),...

Groundwater drought denotes the condition and hazard during a prolonged meteorological drought when groundwater resources decline and become unavailable or inaccessible for human use. The aim of this study is to identify the influencial factors on groundwater drought in Hamadan- Bahar Watershed,Iran, to understand the forcing mechanisms. The Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI) has been used ...

A cosmic-ray soil moisture probe is usually calibrated locally using soil samples collected within its support volume. But such calibration may be difficult or impractical, for example when soil contains stones, in presence of bedrock outcrops, in urban environments, or when the probe is used as a rover. Here we use the neutron transport code MCNPx with observed soil chemistries and pore water ...

soil erosion is a major problem for developing countries with arid and semi-arid climate. these of erosion is possible than two ways of water and wind. in this paper, with using of two methods irifer and hierarchical models, the rate and intensity of of soil erosion is estimated shadegan catchment. for this purpose, by using various maps alike dem, rainfall, land use index, ndvi, geology estima...
