intercropping is one of the most important approaches for sustainable agricultural production. in order to evaluate the effect of planting patterns and millet density on forage yield of millet and soybean, an experiment was conducted in the research farm of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad during the 2007-2008 growing season. the experiment was performed as factorial based...

in order to investigate the possibility of reducing herbicide usage in combination with plant density and planting pattern, a field experiment was designed in chenaran, khorasan razavi, on 2010. the experiment was split plot treatments based on rcbd with three replications in factorial arragement. the treatments included of 3 level of plant density (100000, 120000 and 140000 plants ha-1) and 2 ...

in a field experiment, during three successive years of 2007, 2008 and 2009, the effects of planting pattern and high corm density on agronomic performance of saffron was investigated at the research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. a complete randomized block design in a factorial arrangement of three replications being employed. treatments consisted of three corm rates of planting (...

In order to test the feasibility of computer simulation in field maize planting, the selection of the method of single seed precise sowing in maize is studied based on the quadratic function model Y = A×(D-Dm)2+Ym, which depicts the relationship between maize yield and planting density. And the advantages and disadvantages of the two planting methods under the condition of single seed sowing ar...

Ricinus communis displays a broad range of phenotypic diversity in size, with dwarf, common, and large-sized varieties. To better understand the differences in plant productivity between a high-stalk variety and a dwarf variety under normal growth conditions, we carried out a comparative proteomic study between Zhebi 100 (a high stalk variety) and Zhebi 26 (a dwarf variety) combined with agrono...

The predicted ongoing increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels is considered to be one of the main threats to biodiversity due to potential changes in biotic interactions. We tested whether effects of intraand interspecific planting density of the calcareous grassland perennials Bromus erectus and Carex flacca change in response to elevated [CO2] (600 ppm) by using factorial combinations o...

in order to study the effects of planting date and sugar beet cultivars on infection to curly top virus, vector population, damping off, root rot, and sugar yield, an experiment was conducted in mobarakeh region during 1999-2000 in a split plot design. the main factor was three planting dates and sub factor was six sugar beet cultivars: ic1 as a susceptible cultivar to beet curly top, t41r, 723...
