this study carried out to evaluate the effect of different tillage systems on rapeseed yield (hayola 401) planted in corn residues. this experiment was done in moghan region with clay soils during 2009-2012. different seedbed preparation methods include mt: moldboard + disk tillage (conventional tillage was included), sct: stem crusher + chisel + disk tandem harrow, stt: stem crusher + double-d...

Background: In megavoltage radiotherapy rooms, ordinary concrete is usually used due to its low construction costs, although higher density concrete are sometimes used, as well. The use of high-density concrete decreases the required thickness of the concrete barrier hence, its disadvantage is its high cost. In a nuclear reactor, neutron radiation is the most difficult to shield. A method for p...

in order to determine the appropriate plant density of spotted bean in yasouj, a field experiment was conducted in 2008 as a factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications. three spotted bean cultivars (keshavarzi, talash and oshtori) were sown at five plant densities (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 plant.m-2). results showed that effect of plant density, cultivar and interactio...

We studied three cerrado physiognomies (campo cerrado, a savanna woodland; cerrado sensu stricto, a woodland; and cerradão, a tall woodland) in a reserve with 1,225 ha, in Santa Rita do Passa-Quatro (21 degrees 36-38'S and 47 degrees 36-39'W), São Paulo State, South-eastern Brazil, to compare plant communities structure. As descriptors of the vegetation structure, we used richness, density, bas...

there are varying patterns for growing different varieties of branched or non-branched sesame. this experiment was conducted during a two-year period (2000-2001) to identify the optimal practice for cultivation of the uni-branched sesame in the safi-abad agricultural research center, khuzestan province. the statistical design was set up as strip-plot in a randomized complete block with four rep...

Afforestation, settled before 60–90 years and adjacent solonetzic grasslands, representing the natural vegetation cover were compared in this study based on their basic soil characteristics (pH, CaCO3 content, organic carbon (SOC), exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP)) up to 2 m depth. The assumption was that plantings of arbour can change sodic soils not only superficial layers but even larger...

the studies carried out over 2010-13 involved a static field experiment initiated in 1999 at brody research station of the poznan university of life science, poland. the soil tillage systems for winter wheat were compared on a soil classified as albic luvisols. the aim of experiments was to evaluate impact of ploughless soil tillage on some soil physical, chemical, biological properties and win...
