… t (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes were grown under three irrigation levels (well-watered. moderate water-stress and severe water-stress) imposed during the periods from mid-tillering to anthesis with a line source sprinkler irrigation system. Grain yield and yield components (spikes m-2, spikelets spike-1, kernels spi …
… werΨsoil, plant height, leaf area and shoot and root dry weights became disrupted by water deficit. Water stress decreased the osmotic potential (Ψπ) of leaves and roots. Leaves tended to osmoregulate their cell sap through osmotic adjustment processes as their content of soluble sugars increased. The positive survival …
Selection for drought tolerance typically involves evaluating genotypes for either high yield potential or stable performance under varying degrees of water stress. Field Studies were conducted in 1992 and 1993 to assess methods for evaluating genotypes with combined high yield potential and stability, in both years, 1 …
… riers (CBs) as engineered porous composites is novel and promising technology for mitigating salinity and drought stress of plants. This study aimed to imitate a naturally formed CB structure recently discovered in the reservoir bed of Al-Khoud dam at the Governorate of Muscat in northern Oman and to test the impact of …
Drought stress is one of the most serious abiotic stresses that cause significant reductions in plant growth and yield in many areas around the world. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improve plant drought tolerance by extending the root zone through extraradical hyphae exploration of soil micropores. This study eval …
… n needs to be enhanced to ensure national food security. Nonetheless, water deficits, salinity, prolonged droughts, unavailability of stress resilient genotypes, and heatwaves challenge this notion. In this review manuscript, the current status, constraints, and opportunities to improve wheat production in the Sultanat …
… techniques have been used in the mapping of soil and water quality, spatial assessment for water quantity stress, land suitability, pest and disease distribution of crops as well as delineating and generating database management systems (DBMS) for protected cultivations. In Oman, GIS was only employed to analyse the sp …
The total amount of water consumption needed to irrigate the cultivated lands in the Sultanate Oman is 1487 Mm3. There are 7.6 million date palm trees currently planted in the farms in Oman covering an area of 23241 hectares or 35% of total agricultural area in the Sultanate in addition to 0.9 million palm trees plante …
… es for diverse soil microbiological communities. Some amendments can also help crops overcome some of the stresses of agriculture in Oman, such as soil salinity, heat and drought. Most also provide macro and micronutrients for crop growth. Some anti-quality factors may be present however, such as a high carbon to nitro …
… e environmental changes have shown a projected impact on viticulture through increased biotic and abiotic stresses. Range of strategies can be employed to mitigate such scenarios, however integration of rootstocks to combat such challenges is of a sustainable nature. Grape rootstocks have exhibited their role in mitiga …
… d in an arid region of the world that is characterized by adverse climatic conditions, including heat and drought. In recent years, it has also been affected by climate turbulence and the occurrence of severe weather, such as cyclones and heat/cold waves affecting large agricultural areas of the country. Fruit cultivat …
