        This study was conducted to investigate the effect of drought stress and plant density on yield and some yield components of wheat cultivars in Boroujerd Agricultural Research Station in 2019-2020. The experiment was performed as a split factorial in a randomized complete block design. The main plots belonged to drought stress treatments (at three levels of control, irrigation to flowering, and irrigation to grain filling). The sub-plots consisted of plant density treatments (300, 400, 500, and 600 plants m−2) and cultivars (Mihan and Baharan). The results showed that drought stress, density, and cultivar treatments influenced grain yield components, and the interaction of stress ×plant density significantly affected plant height and spike length. The interaction of cultivar × stress significantly influenced plant height, 1000-seed weight, grain yield, and flag leaf area index. The interaction of cultivar × density was also significant on plant height, spike length, and internode diameter. The highest plant height (87 cm) was obtained in the treatment of 600 plants/m2 without applying drought stress. The highest plant height among all treatments belonged to the Baharan cultivar cultivated at a density of 600 plants/m2. The spike length was higher in full irrigation treatment and at the level of 500 plants/m2 than in the other experimental treatments. The dry weights of flag leaves were 2.8 and 3 g in Mihan and Baharan cultivars, respectively. The highest 1000-seed weight (43.7 g) in the Mihan cultivar at the level of complete irrigation treatment increased by about 12% compared to that in irrigation.... Manuscript profile

        Iron is one of the essential elements for plant growth. Iron deficiency is one of the problems of calcareous soils in Iran. In order to investigate the effect of iron nanoparticle composite coated with humic acid on the agricultural characteristics of tomato plants, a factorial greenhouse experiment was conducted in the form of a completely randomized design with three replications. The test factors include the first factor, the type of iron fertilizer (iron sulfate and iron nanoparticles Fe3O4), the second factor of humic acid (use of humic acid and the absence of use of humic acid), the third factor of iron concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 200) mg/kg. Infrared spectroscopy results showed that nanoparticles coated with humic acid behaved differently than iron nanoparticles due to the creation of new functional groups. Also, the results showed that Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with humic acid at a concentration of 50 mg/kg caused a significant increase in plant height (31%), shoot fresh weight (68%), and iron concentration in the plant by 2.4 times) compared to the control treatment (treatment without fertilizer). The results of this research show that applying Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with humic acid for agricultural products can improve the agronomic characteristics of tomatoes, so this fertilizer can be introduced as a suitable option for providing the iron needed by the plant.

        Today, the importance of water in maintaining life, especially in arid and semi-arid areas, is not hidden from anyone,.. There are various techniques to determine evaporation and transpiration, which include the use of empirical formulas, lysimeters, remote sensing and satellite methods. It is micro-climatic technologies and methods of using plant transpiration coefficient. This research started in April 2014 and was completed by the middle of September 2014. Studies were conducted on three species of bay leaf (Laurus nobilis L.), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) and oleander (Nerium oleander L.) located in the parks and boulevards of all 9 districts of Shiraz municipality. To calculate the rate of evaporation and transpiration of the target plant, first the rate of evaporation and transpiration of the reference plant was calculated using the data of the Shiraz synoptic station and the standard Penman-Mantis-FAO method, and then the coefficient (KL) was calculated based on the California method. This coefficient is the key factor in estimating the water requirement of green space. The highest rate of reference evaporation and transpiration is related to the months of August and July, respectively, and the lowest is related to the months of Bahman and January. . The highest water requirement is between June and October. In order to solve a large part of the lack of water resources mentioned, methods such as recycling and reuse of returned water, using non-conventional water sources (sewage, sewage, gray water, etc.) and surface water and runoff are suggested as solutions.

        In order to investigate the effects of external application time of salicylic acid hormone on morphological and physiological properties of barley (Nosrat cultivar) under stress conditions in Neyriz city during two cropping years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with the main factor of different irrigation conditions (without irrigation, two irrigation and four times of irrigation) and the sub factor of salicylic acid foliar application times (without foliar application, tillering end 50% emergence of stem and end of flag leaf emergence) was conducted. The results showed That without irrigation treatment reduced leaf chlorophyll index and chlorophyll a and b by 74.2%, 66.02 and 42.31%, respectively. without irrigation Treatment also significantly reduced grain yield. It was 86.9% (average of two years of experiment). Foliar application at the end of tillering increased grain yield by 10.36% on average. Increased grain yield due foliar application at the end of tillering in without treatment irrigation was 6.2% and in four times irrigation treatments was 10.1%, which indicates the positive effect foliar application in higher humidity conditions. Foliar application increased the concentration of proline compared to the control without foliar application. The highest proline concentration was foliar application at the end of tillering. Proline concentration increased with decreasing irrigation frequency. The results indicate application of salicylic acid at the end of tillering by improving biochemical properties is effective in reducing the effects of drought stress and its use in barley is recommended in similar water and soil conditions.
