The response of dry bean to water stress at various growth cycles in a semi-arid region

Abstract

Water is increasingly being a scant tool in agriculture as the competitions between industrial, municipal, and environmental water utilizations is growing. In water shortage climates, possibly water availability is the vital important factor limiting growing of agriculture (Fernandez et al. 2002, Ferreira and Carr 2002, Deng et al. 2006, Zhou 2003. In such ecologies, inadequate irrigation practices is one of the main reasons affecting water scarcity increase since about more than 85% of available water has been used in irrigation (Er-Raki et al. 2010). For contribution feed security, efficient water use as a consequently facilitation more lands under irrigation is necessarily prerequisites. Detail information relevant to the crop water consumption, critical crop growth cycles as well as correct irrigation program for maximum crop yield is very important role to play to design the water use of crop
