Plant breeders have generated many crop varieties that resist insects and pathogens through improved arsenals of bioactive natural compounds. More recently, molecular biologists have produced highly successful virusand insect-resistant crops by introduction of transgenes that ultimately protect crops by means of natural polypeptides. Herbicides have been the largest segment of the pesticide mar...

in order to investigate the effect of chemical herbicides on control of broad leaf weeds of common bean, an experiment was conducted in 2007 at yasouj with 12 treatments in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. treatments consisted of preplant application of trifluralin herbicide at 960 g ai ha-1; postemergence application of bentazon at 1200 g ai ha-1; imaztapir at 50, 75 and...

One of the wood industry activities in forestry sector is Eucalyptus sp at PT.Riau Mainstay Pulp and Paper Riau Province. The production process used for pulpand has many factors its productivity. them planting with weedcontrol problems, which use herbicide active ingredient glyphosate. glyphosate not effective against all types weeds. Therefore, it necessary to know right combination weed cont...

A key enabling factor for treating individualized weeds in the crops is Automatic Weeding Control device (AWCd) as it being capable of finding and distinguishing field. The non-herbicide approaches used to manage are a component personalized treatment weed crops. In this study, mechanical control techniques investigated an alternative. three specifications—a cutting mechanism, head-surface till...

to study the response of pinto-bean yield and yield components in intercropping with maize and naked-pumpkin under weed competition, two similar experiments were conducted in rasht and roudsar separately each in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications on factorial arrangements experiment in 2013. the treatments of first factor consisted of  pinto bean (100 and 75%) sole cropping,...

the environment” (Rice, 1984). Rice plants with an allelopathic effect on weeds can mean lower production To understand the genetic control of allelopathy in rice (Oryza costs because the need for herbicide application and/or sativa L.), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping was performed using a population of 142 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross hand weeding is reduced. Thus, inco...

To assess potential effects of seed limitation, characteristics of invader species and characteristics of established plant communities on recruitment success, we conducted a split-plot experiment factorially combining three weeding treatments corresponding to increasing successional age (regular weeding < cessation of weeding after three years < never weeded since sowing) with two seed limitat...
