Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of Hevea brasiliensis on Haplic Ferralsol as Affected by Different Water RegimesShafar Jefri Mokhatar, Noordin Wan Daud, Nazera ArbainProblem statement: Rubber has been grown more than a century in South East Asia, who has been the largest producer of natural rubber. Demand of natural rubber increases steadily due to increasing demand particularly from developing countries. Water has been a limited and invaluable resource especially in agriculture. This resource has to be used wisely and there is a need … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 8,905 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Hevea brasiliensis (Latex Timber Clone: RRIM 2001 and RRIM 3001) in Relation to Different Water StressShafar Jefri Mokhatar, Wan Noordin Daud, Nursyazwina Md ZamriAbstract: Problem statement: Rubber, Hevea brasiliensis, has been traditionally planted in the humid tropics, which is characterized by high rainfall throughout the year. However, due to an increase in world’s demand for rubber, future planting will be established in dry areas, characterized by prevalence water stress. Utilizing limited resource, in dry areas or to use water wisely is very important. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 10,906 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Cycocel and Irrigation Regimes on Some Physiological Parameters of Three Olive CultivarsMaisam Nejadsahebi, Noorollah Moallemi, Ahmad LandiProblem statement: The water deficiency is one of the serious problems, in the arid zones. Cycocel by increasing the stomata resistance and decreasing transpiration can help to water use efficiency. Approach: In this research the impacts of different doses of Cycocel (0, 500 and 1000 mg L-1) and irrigation regimes (33, 66 and 100% of available water; referred to as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,976 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantitative Trait Loci Analysis of Novel Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Tokai 66Y. Yen, A.M. H. Ibrahim, S. Malla et al.Problem Statement: Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) in durable resistant genotype is important for marker-assisted breeding. The study was conducted to identify QTLs linked to FHB resistance in 'Tokai 66', a Japanese genotype. Approach: A cross was made between Tokai 66 and Jagalene and the single seed descend was used to advance the population. The F2:4 and F2:5 populations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,091 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLisrel Analysis of Factors for Empowering Producers to Abolish Livelihood Poverty through Optimizing Agricultural Water Resources ManagementFatemeh Panahi, Iraj MalekmohammadiProblem Statement: Most of the projected increase in global population will take place in third world countries that already suffer from water, food, and health problems. Irrigation in developing countries tends to be stereotyped as equity reducing, in competition with other uses for scarce water resources. Agricultural intensification through the practice of irrigation as a strategy for poverty reduction is … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,032 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponse of Root Properties to Tripartite Symbiosis between Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.), Rhizobia and Mycorrhiza Under Dry Organic Farming ConditionsM. R. Ardakani, G. Pietsch, A. Moghaddam et al.Problem statement: It is generally considered that root turnover is a major contributor to organic matter and mineral nutrient cycles in organic managed agroecosystems. Approach: This study designed to investigate whether microbial activity could affect on root properties of Lucerne in an organically managed field under dry weather conditions. The trial was laid out as a factorial experiment in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,504 accessesView PDF Cite
