In rice (Oryza sativa L.) culture the effect of puddling (wet tillage) on puddle quality, weed growth and yield of crop depends upon initial soil manipulations by pre-puddling tillage. However, the role of pre-puddling tillage on these aspects has not been studied adequately. These effects were studied for three years (1994±1996) in a ®eld experiment with a rice±wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cro...

in order to investigate the effects of row intercropping of bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) with borage (borago officinalis l.) on its ecological characteristics such as weed and insect diversity, composition and density and their yield and evaluating of the best strip width, a field experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural rese...

introduction bean is one of the most important legumes worldwide for direct human consumption and is a rich source of protein and carbohydrates. bean is weak to compete with weed because of the retard growth at the early stages. therefore, weed control at this time plays an important role to gain high priduction. yield crop depends on weed number, and size after germination. weed control depend...

in order to evaluate intercropping of soybean (glycine max l. cv. jk) with sweet basil (ocimum basilicum l.) and borage (borago officinalis l.) with weed interference, an experiment was performed in randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at a field located 10 km of shirvan during year of 2011. the treatments were included 75% soybean: 25%sweet basil, 50%soybe...

in order to investigate the effects of common lambsquarters (chenopodium album l.) competition on corn (zea mays l.) morphological and physiological characteristics, an experiment was conducted in 2005-2006 at the research station of agricultural faculty, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the experimental design was split plot based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three repl...

in order to investigate the efficacy of split, reduced and whole rates of oxyfluorfen in controlling redroot pigweed (amarnthus retroflexus) and also to evaluate possible soybean (glycine max) injuries a experiment was conducted in research greenhouses of karaj collage of agriculture, university of tehran in 2005. treatments included oxyfluorfen doses at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 l/ha in one stage ...

in order to compare different weed management methods in sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. the experiment designed as a complete randomized block with three replications. the treatments including: metamitron + fenmedifam, metamitron + fenmedifam + rotation, metamitron + cultivation,...

in order to evaluate the effects of intercropping of maize- peanut, weeding and their planting design on weed population dynamics, an experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment in the form of rcbd with three replications at the research farm of agriculture center of zabol university (iran) in 2012. the treatments including sowing system in four levels as first factor  (sole maize, sole ...

an experiment was conducted in bandar kyashahr research field in 2002 to evaluate the effects of plant density and planting pattern on weed populations and yield of peanut (arachis hypogaea l.). the experiment was of a randomized complete block design with three replications. a factorial trial with two factors of planting pattern (square and rectangular arrangements) and plant density (3, 5.3, ...

Two factors limiting successful recruitment of planted blue oak (Quercus douglasii) seedlings are dry soils and animal damage. Many approaches have been used to mitigate these factors including several types of protective cages and alternative methods of weed control. This study examined how treeshelters, screen cages and varying intensities of weed removal affect the establishment and growth o...
