The effect of vermicompost on soil physical properties including bulk and practical density (ρ_b and ρ_a), porosity (n), saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), soil moisture characteristic curve, field capacity (θ_FC), permanent wilting point (θ_PWP) and available water (AW) were evaluated. The results showed that the use of vermicompost significantly increased soil hydraulic conductivity and permanent wilting point but did not have significant effect on the other properties. The vermicompost increased the saturation hydraulic conductivity in two layers as 22.2 and 43.5 percent respectively and had a positive effect on soil moisture characteristic curve. Also, in vermicompost treatment, moisture content in the first and second layers increased at field capacity 21.1 and 21.5, at permanent wilting point 32 and 24 and at available moisture 9.3 and 18.6 percent, respectively.

In comparison to W₆₀ treatment, full irrigation treatment (W₁₀₀) increased total dry matter yield (70%) but in comparison to W₁₀₀, W₈₀ treatment decreased total dry matter yield (5%). On the basis of total dry matter yield and grain (4.8 and 2.06 kg/ m³), maximum harvest index (0.43) and maximum water use efficiency were obtained for W₈₀ treatment.

The experiment treatments were arranged as randomized complete block design with three replications. The irrigation regimes consisted of full irrigation, regulated deficit and partial root zone drying irrigation (RDI75, RDI55). The results showed that deficit irrigation resulted in water saving at the rates of 16-34 percent. The highest yield (202.65 ton/ha) was produced by full irrigation. There was no significant difference between yield and fruit weight of full irrigation treatment and 75 percent water replacement in partial root zone drying. The highest water use efficiency was 45.6 kg/m3 was obtained in 75 percent water replacement in partial root zone drying. Also, despite the same water consumption of 75 percent water replacement in partial root zone drying and regulated deficit, yield was decrease 16.1 percent. Therefore, it can be concluded that 75 percent water replacement in partial root zone drying, which resulted in a non-significant decrease of yield and while resulting in a 25 percent decrease in water use and increased 14 percent of water use efficiency, would be a promising water-saving method as in Jiroft.

In this regard, the technical and hydraulic performance of 9 irrigation systems in Isfahan province was evaluated. In this experiment, some field measurements were taken to obtain the required parameters for system evaluation. Assessments were made based on the SCS guidelines. The results obtained from the calculation of the evaluation parameters show that amounts of coefficient of emitter discharge variation (q_var) was less than 10% for 33% of the projects, ranging from 10 to 20% for 44 percent of the projects, and over 20% for the rest of the projects, qualified as favorable, acceptable and unacceptable, respectively. The amounts of distribution uniformity (DU), in 22% of projects was more than 90%, 55% between 80 to 90% and the rest between 70 to 80%, qualified as excellent, good, and fairly good. The potential application efficiency of low quarter (PELQ) and application efficiency of low quarter (ALEQ) were between 42.4 to 78.1 % and between 47 to 81.5 percent, respectively, which is moderate.

Deficiencies in water resources have led to the use of saline water for irrigation in agriculture. In order to study the effects of salinity stress on seed, oil and protein yield of Camelina, a randomized complete block design factorial experiment with three replications was designed in a research greenhouse. The factors included 4 lines Camelina (80, 115, 130 and 131) and 5 saline levels (0.6, 3, 6, 9 and 12 dS/m) and the control sample was rainfed condition. The results showed that by increasing salinity levels, grain yield and its components decreased significantly but there were no considerable differences between Camilina lines at all. In addition, the results showed that the seed, oil and protein yields in rainfed conditions is more than that of irrigation with 12 dS/m salinity, and it suggests that the cultivation of this plant in the rainfed conditions is not economically efficient for more than 9 dS/m salinity condition. <br />  <br /><strong>Keywords:</strong>Line, Lysimeter, Oil, protein, Water requirement, Water Use efficiency One of the major problems in dry countries such as Iran is water and soil salinity.

This project has been conducted for determining and evaluation of furrow advance time in two irrigation management including conventional and alternative furrow irrigation. Four different inflow rates within two periods of Maize growth stages for two furrow irrigation management were considered. Results showed, the water advance time in conventional furrow irrigation in two growth stages with inflow rate as 0.15, 0.28, 0.35 and 0.46 l/s were 1.8, 2.4, 1.6 and 1.6 times respectively comparative to alternative furrow irrigation. Also results in end of season revealed that with increasing inflow rate the advance time in conventional furrow irrigation were 1.3, 1.6, 1.4 and 1.5 times as comparatives to a conventional furrow irrigation. Soil surface moisture variation showed that the soil moisture content in alternative furrow irrigation decreased about 28% in comparison with the conventional furrow irrigation. With increasing furrow inflow rate the coefficients of advance power function (r & p) increased about 4 and 56% for conventional and 12 and 26% respectively alternative furrow irrigation. <br />  Advance time is one of the most important factors, especially for determining irrigation timing.
