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 · 7,984 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Air and Groundwater Pollution from Continuous High Land Application of Cheese WheyA.E. Ghaly, D.G. Rushton, N.S. MahmoudExperiments were performed, using eighteen 280 cm deep soil columns with 20 cm inside diameter, to determine the relative amounts of nitrogenous compounds leached and volatilized from soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey during two seasons. Three soils (loamy sand, sandy loam and sandy clay loam) and two cheese whey application rates (560 and 840 kg-N ha-1), that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,279 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Soil Moisture Sensors under Intelligent Irrigation Systems for Economical Crops in Arid RegionsMohamed Said Abdall El Marazky, Fawzi Said Mohammad, Hussein Mohamed Al-GhobariProblem Statement: In irrigation water management, irrigation water use represents a substantial opportunity for agriculture water savings. Automation of irrigation systems, based on Soil Moisture Sensors Systems (SMSS) has the potential to provide maximum water use efficiency by maintaining soil moisture at optimum levels. Approach: The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of soil moisture sensors under … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,907 accessesView PDF Cite
