barley ( hordeum vulgare l.) is the world’s fourth most important cereal crop after wheat, rice and maize. it is readily available with reasonable cost, and has the highest amount of dietary fiber among the cereals which may be beneficial for metabolic syndrome. in the present study, the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of barley seeds and a protein enriched fraction on blood glucose of normal ...

Barley is integrated with other crops to inhibit weed growth, through allelopathic interactions. Effects of barley on growth of other crops, weeds and autotoxicity among cultivars result primarily from allelopathy mediated by allelochemicals released from plant components and/or exuded from living roots. A limited number of allelochemicals are identified that contributes to allelopathic effecti...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, a group of widespread fungal symbionts crops, could be important in driving crop yield across rotations through plant–soil feedbacks (PSF). However, whether preceding crops have legacy effect on the AM fungi subsequent is poorly known. We set up an outdoor mesocosm rotation experiment that consisted first phase growing either one four pre-crops establishing an...

Nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and methane are the main biogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) contributing to net greenhouse gas balance of agro-ecosystems. Evaluating the impact of agriculture on climate thus requires capacity to predict the net exchanges of these gases in a systemic approach, as related to environmental conditions and crop management. Here, we used experimental data sets from intens...

In this study, musculoskeletal disorders, energy consumption and input costs of paddy labors have been studied in cultivation, crop protection, and harvesting rice in Northern Iran, Guilan province. The sample size of the study consisted of 74 paddy workers of the study region. The data were collected through Nordic questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that the la...

background and objectives: suitable tillage methods and planting cover crops are such factors in sustainable agricultural systems, which play an important role in the sustainability of agricultural production systems. minimum and no-tillage systems methods that leave instead of usually more than 30 percent of crop residue on the soil surface, are used to reduce soil erosion, improve soil physic...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects winter crops and soybean management systems on Pratylenchus brachyurus Helicotylenchus dihystera populations, in a naturally infested site, south-central region state Paraná, Brazil. experiment carried out during two crop years (2017/2018 2018/2019). Barley or black oat (winter crops) (summer crop) were treated with chemical biolog...

Mixed intercropping of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with faba bean (Vicia faba L.) was compared with sole cropping for three growing seasons 2001–2003) at Holetta Agricultural Research Centre, in the central highlands of Ethiopia. The treatments were sole barley (125 kg ha−1), sole aba bean (200 kg ha−1) and an additive series of 12.5, 25, 37.5, 50 and 62.5% of the sole seed rate of faba bean mi...
