        Conservation of soil and water resources in arid and semi-arid countries is a serious concern for salinity. The present study was carried out in a completely randomized block design to investigate soil salt accumulation in tape irrigation. Treatments included: “surface plaque tape”, “semi-subsurface plaque tape in 10 cm depth of soil”, “surface tape”, “semi-subsurface tape in 10 cm depth of soil” and “surface tape with mulch”. Salinity of irrigation water was 2 dS/m with Forage Maize cultivation. The results of salinity analysis indicate that salt distribution in 15-20 cm depth soil and in 10-15 cm space from dripper had highest value. Also in confidence level of 95 %, in all of treatment in 0, 15 and 30 cm space of dripper and 0-20 cm depth of soil level there were different in salt but in another depth (20-40 and 40-60 cm) there weren’t any different also, in use of drip tape irrigation system in soil texture silt-loam discrete kind of tape and location of installation, mainly salt distribution happen between 0-15 cm space of dripper and 0-20 cm depth of soil level and we have to do leaching. In this research, surface tape with mulch treatment had the highest yield and lowest water use between studied treatments. This treatment reduced the amount of salt accumulation by 10.39% on average compared to other treatments. Manuscript profile

        Temperature is a key factor in yield, crop water requirement, and then virtual water of various agricultural products. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effect of latitude as one of the most effective factors on the variation of virtual water of agricultural products. In this research, the virtual water content of nine major plants including wheat, barley, alfalfa, sugar beet, corn, watermelon, tomato, onion and potato in four eastern provinces (including 56 cities) of Iran was calculated based on 20-year statistical data. Then, the average virtual water of each plant was calculated in different latitudes from 〖25〗^° to 〖38〗^°N at 1^° intervals using ArcGIS software. The regression between the average virtual water with crop water requirement and yield of the products revealed a positive correlation between virtual water and crop water requirement (r=0.65) and a negative correlation between virtual water and yield (r= 0.74). The average virtual water from the lowest to the highest was 0.19, 0.38, 0.45, 0.46, 0.53, 0.57, 1.59, 1.69, and 1.80 thousand cubic meters per ton for corn, sugar beet, onion, watermelon, tomato, potato, alfalfa, barley, and wheat, respectively. The results showed that the variation pattern of virtual water of the studied products across different latitude was Gaussian. Despite the different maximum values of virtual water, they occurred in the latitude range of 〖30〗^° to 〖33〗^° N and by moving away from the mentioned range to higher or lower latitude, the virtual water content of all products decreases.

        Background and aim: Soil properties and management methods can affect plant growth and crop yield in agricultural areas. Rainfed agriculture is a dominant farming type in the world, which covers about 80% of the world's cultivated land and about 67 % of agricultural lands in Iran. Most of rainfed lands are in slope areas and tilled along slope, an incorrect method which accelerates water erosion. Controlling soil erosion and storing precipitation water in soil is the first step to conserve soil and water resources and increasing crop yield in rainfed lands. The change of tillage direction from along slope to contour line and maintaining crop residues can affect water loss, Precipitation use efficiency (PUE) and crop yield in rainfed areas. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of tillage direction and wheat straw mulch on water loss, crop yield and precipitation used efficiency in a winter wheat rainfed land. Methods: The study was carried out in a rainfed lands with sandy loam soil under a slope of 10% in west of Zanjan, North West of Iran. field experiments were conducted at two tillage direction: along slope and contour line, and five wheat straw mulch application levels (control, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) with three replications. Precipitation data (height, duration and intensity) was taken from the Agricultural Meteorological Station located in the University of Zanjan, about 800 m from the study field. Winter wheat was cultivated at the plots early autumn and harvested early summer. Water loss from the plots was measured for each rainfall event resulting runoff at the plots during nine months growth period. Wheat grain yield was determined for each plot and accordingly precipitation use efficiency (PUE) in kg/ha.mm was computed based on wheat grain yield (kg/ha) per effective precipitation during growth period (mm). Soil properties and winter straw mulch characteristics were determined using the conventional methods in the lab and the variance analysis was used for determination of independent effect of tillage direction and straw mulch level and interactions between the two factors. Results: Eighty-two precipitation events were occurred in the area during a 9 months winter wheat growth period, which rainfalls included 88% from it. Most of rainfalls occurred in October that resulted most water loss at the plots. Water loss at the plots tilled contour line was 14% lower than the plots tilled along slope. However, water loss between the two tillage directions was no significant, whereas wheat grain yield as well as PUE were significantly affected by tillage direction. Straw mulch considerably affected on water loss, wheat grain yield and PUE. An obvious decrease was found in water loss with increasing in straw mulch level. The lowest water loss among different mulch levels was in 100% mulch level for the two tillage directions (63% for along slope tillage and 64% for contour line tillage). Significant interaction of the two factors was observed just for wheat grain yield. The highest wheat grain yield was in 75% mulch level which was about 27% (2.04 ton/ha) and 34% (2.45 ton/ha) bigger than control treatment, respectively. The highest PUE was also in 75% mulch level both in along slope tillage (7.2 kg/ha.mm) and contour line tillage (8.6 kg/ha.mm), which was 27% and 34% higher than control treatment, respectively. Conclusion: Results show the precipitation use efficiency (PUE) is an improper index for evaluation of the role of precipitation in crop production in wheat rainfed lands. This index can be affected by both tillage direction and wheat straw mulch application in rainfed lands. These two management methods are independent factors which affects strongly on the wheat grain yield and in consequence on the PUE. The change of tillage direction from along slope to contour line along and application of 75% mulch level (equal to 4.5 ton/ha) are proper strategies for conservation of soil and water and improving the utilization of precipitation in wheat rainfed lands.

        In order to identify cold tolerant cultivars of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) using stress tolerance indices under the influence of humic acid application, an experiment was conducted as factorial split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2017 and 2018 at Seed and Plant Improvement Research Institute, Karaj, Iran. Factorial combination of cold stress as planting date factor in two levels including 20 October and 20 November, and humic acid factor in two levels including non-application (foliar spraying with pure water) and application (foliar spraying with a concentration of 1.5 per mil at 4-6-leaf stage) were assigned to the main plots and the cultivars were allocated to the sup-plots. The results showed that rapeseed cultivars differed significantly. Based on the results of means comparison, the cultivar WRL-95-07 showed higher yield in both stress and non-stress environments as well as the application and non-application of humic acid than the other cultivars. The correlation of drought tolerance indices with grain yield under stress and non-stress conditions was used to determine the most suitable indices. Arithmetic mean productivity (MP), geometric mean productivity (GMP), harmonic mean (HARM) and stress tolerance index (STI) had the highest significant correlation with yield under normal and stress conditions. Principal component analysis differentiated indices introducing tolerant cultivars and indices introducing susceptible cultivars, and on this basis, the 10 rapeseed cultivars were divided into three groups using cluster analysis. Finally, WRL-95-07 cultivar performed well under stress and non-stress conditions with the use of humic acid, followed by WRL-95-12 cultivar which displayed better performance than the other cultivars under stress conditions when treated with humic acid.

        Many decisions and policies in water management are made in a spatial scale larger than farm scale. In this study, the distributed SWAP model was evaluated to simulate wheat yield production in the Doroudzan irrigation and drainage network (Fars province, Iran) in wet, normal and dry years. The study area was divided into 86 simulation units and yield production was determined in each spatial unit with the distributed SWAP. MATLAB program was used for regionalizing the SWAP model and making relationship between this model and input data in each simulation unit. The goodness-of-fit measures, such as correlation coefficient and maximum error were calculated as 88% and 0.94 ton/ha, respectively. In addition, the determined mean square error was less than standard deviation and the modeling efficiency was estimated satisfactorily. In this research, yield production in the simulation period was evaluated higher than the observed values. In farms located at the end of the network, the error percentage of the simulated performance was higher than other spatial units due to water deficit and soil salinity. In general, since there was a good consistency between simulated and observed crop production in Doroudzan network, distributed SWAP model can be used with a good accuracy to simulate and predict yield production and to manage irrigation network.
