Abstract—Gladiolus is an important cash crop and is grown mainly for its elegant spikes. Traditionally the gladiolus corms are planted manually which is very tedious, time consuming and labor intensive operation. So far, there is no planter available for planting of gladiolus corms. With a view to mechanize the planting operation of this horticultural crop, a prototype of 4-row gladiolus plante...

in order to study the effect of planting arrangements and water quantities in drip irrigation onyield of maize, an experiment was carried out using a spilt block based on randomizedcomplete block design for three years (2006-09) in moghan. the factorial experiment hadthree planting densities (75000, 85000 and 95000 plants per hectare ) with one- and two-rowscultivation (b1= one row cultivation ...

in order to study of hydropriming, planting depth and nitrogen split application effect on yield and yield components of double cross hybrid of corn, an experiment was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications. nitrogen split application included (400 kg/ha at sowing date, 100 kg/ha at sowing date and 300 kg/ha 25 to 50 days after sowing da...

Soaking potato tuber pieces for 15 min in 8,000 mug/ml of oxamyl just before planting reduced the number of Globodera rostochiensis cysts that developed on potato roots, but this treatment was phytotoxic. Five foliar applications of 1.12 kg a.i./ha of oxamyl or carbofuran at 10-day intervals beginning when 90% of the plants had emerged suppressed increase in G. rostochiensis densities. Similar ...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of planting pattern and irrigation system on antioxidant activity of wheat and Persian clover. The experiment was carried out as a two-factor factorial with three replications. The first factor was irrigation system (conventional and partial root-zone irrigation) and the second was planting pattern (sole wheat, sole Persian clover, alterna...

A field experiment was conducted in the Agricultural Research Station, at El-Ghoraieb, Assiut to study dry seed yield performance of two locally adapted cultivars (‘Azmerly’ and ‘Cream 7’) and two line introductions (IT81D-1032 and IT82D-812) of common cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) grown at three different within-row spaces (20, 30 and 40 cm) and two planting dates in the summer (April 1...

, present study was performed in order to determine effects of different amounts of irrigation water, plant density and planting pattern on yield, yield components and water use efficiency (wue) of corn, variety single cross 700 (700ksc) using drip irrigation systems (tape) , in the research station of islamabadgharb in two consecutive years (2011-2012). the project was in the form of split blo...

The object of this experiment was to determine the response of peanut when planting in single or twin row patterns by strip tillage or no tillage methods. During 1997 and 1998 the peanut cultivars "Georgia Green" and "Georgia Runner" or "Georgia Green" and "Georgia Bold" (Arachis hypogaea L.) were planted in 9.5 or 9.0 inch twin row patterns versus 36 inch single rows at the same seeding rate (...
