BACKGROUND Larval movement of target pest populations among Bt and non-Bt plants is a major concern in the use of a seed mixture refuge strategy for Bt resistance management. In this study, occurrence and larval movement of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.), were evaluated in four planting patterns of non-Bt and Bt plants containing Genuity® SmartStax(TM) traits in 2009-2011. The f...

in order to evaluate of using planting pattern for reducing herbicides dose in corn (single cross 704), a field experiment was conducted in 2007 at research field of collage of agriculture, islamic azad university branch of takestan. the experimental design was randomized complete block with 18 treatments and using factorial design with 4 replications. treatments consisted of corn planting patt...

to evaluate the effects of planting date and plant density on morphological characteristics, including essential oil content of ajowan (trachyspermum ammi) a study was conducted during the years 2003 and 2004 at the experimental farm, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad. treatments were laid out in a factorial form based on a complete randomized block design of three replicat...

В процессе селекционно-семеноводческой работы с семенными растениями необходимо проводить ряд мероприятий (осмотр, подвязка растений, выбраковка не типичных и ослабленных изоляция). Особенно при создании «чистого» линейного материала (стерильных фертильных). Нужно внимательно подходить к этому вопросу. Чаще выбраковку. При традиционной схеме посадки 70 см неудобно выполнять данные мероприятия, ...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and planting method on yield and yield components of two chickpea cultivars (cicer arietinum l.), an experiment was carried out at the research field of faculty of agriculture; shiraz university, using a split factorial randomized complete block design with four replications. the main factor was irrigation stop at different growth stages of chi...

Prevention, rather than cure, is the rule with the diseases of peanuts. Some beneficial preventive measures are the application of fungicides to seed to prevent seed rot, the use of fungicidal dusts or sprays on grovv^ing plants to prevent leaf spot, and the treatment of soil with chemicals before planting to control nematodes and soil insects. Prevention involves more than the use of chemicals...

Longleaf pine is a highly desirable species, resisting fire, insects and pathogens, and produces quality solid-wood products, but regeneration of the species has been difficult. Natural regeneration is feasible only on a small portion of the area considered to be longleaf pine type. Therefore, artificial regeneration must become a reliable means of regenerating the species if restoration of the...

in order to determine of the proper sowing date of steckling (rootlet) and harvesting date of seed, an experiment was conducted in ardabil agricultural research station (alarough) in 2004- 05 growing season in split-plot in randomized complete block design arrangement with four replications. four different planting dates viz. 5th march, 20th march, 4th april and 19th april– were allocated to th...

in order to investigate the possibility of fennel autumnal sowing in mashhad condition, 2 sets of experiments were conducted in agricultural college, ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2003-2005. this experiment was performed in the manner of split blocks based on completely randomized blocks with three replications. treatments were two fennel ecotypes (khorasan and kerman) and three planting da...

In this research effects of active toothed coulter on planter penetration in semi-dried soils covered with previous wheat (Triticum aestivum) residue was studied. Therefore, effects of three levels of speed ratio (coulter peripheral speed/tractor forward speed; 1.22, 2, 3) at two previous residue levels (baled and non-baled) and two modes of planter attachment (with and without row cleaner) on ...
