Single cultivation versus sweet potato and popcorn intercropping: benefits over edaphic fauna in ecological-based system
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this study was to evaluate the diversity and abundance edaphic fauna organisms in single intercropped systems sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) ecologically-based popcorn (Zea mays) Red Oxisol, Northwest region state Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Four cultivars were used with popcorn: BRS Amélia, Rubissol, Cuia Crioula. soil assessment carried out using PROVID-type traps. Richness, dominance indices Shannon (H’) Simpson (D) determined. orders Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Collembola Orthoptera, dominant both cultivation systems. showed a greater number Isopoda Collembola, whereas system, Lepidoptera Hymenoptera stood out. intercropping shows highest compared cultivation.

An evaluation of yield in "intercropping of maize and potato"
Abstract To find out how maize and potato can grow and develop in an intercropping system rather than each grown alone in a sole cropping system the following factorial experiment was performend in the frame-work of a randomized complete block three replications in the experimental farm of the faculty of agriculture, Zanjan University in year 2004. Different potato to maize ratios of (1:0), i...
متن کاملThe sweet potato IbMYB1 gene as a potential visible marker for sweet potato intragenic vector system.
MYB transcription factors play important roles in transcriptional regulation of many secondary metabolites including anthocyanins. We cloned the R2R3-MYB type IbMYB1 complementary DNAs from the purple-fleshed sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. cv Sinzami) and investigated the expression patterns of IbMYB1 gene with IbMYB1a and IbMYB1b splice variants in leaf and root tissues of various sweet pota...

Field sweet potato plants showing virus-like symptoms, as stunting, leaf distortion, mosaic and chlorosis, were collected in southwest Portugal and tested for the presence of four potyviruses, sweet potato virus C (SPVC), sweet potato virus 2 (SPV2), sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV), sweet potato virus G (SPVG), and the crinivirus sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV). DsRNA frac...
متن کاملNematode numbers and crop yield in a fenamiphos-treated sweet corn-sweet potato-vetch cropping system.
Nematode population densities and yield of sweet corn and sweet potato as affected by the nematicide fenamiphos, in a sweet corn-sweet potato-vetch cropping system, were determined in a 5-year test (1981-85). Sweet potato was the best host of Meloidogyne incognita of these three crops. Fenamiphos 15G (6.7 kg a.i./ha) incorporated broadcast in the top 15 cm of the soil layer before planting of e...

Two crop growth experiments in the soil-based closed ecological facility, Laboratory Biosphere, were conducted from 2003 to 2004 with candidate space life support crops. Apogee wheat (Utah State University variety) was grown, planted at two densities, 400 and 800 seeds m-2. The lighting regime for the wheat crop was 16 h of light-8 h dark at a total light intensity of around 840 micromoles m-2 ...
