Glyphosate-resistant corn and soybean are grown in rotations in the Midwest, including Nebraska. Volunteer corn is a problematic weed in soybean fields because it causes harvest problems, reduces yield and seed quality, and potentially harbors insects, pests, and diseases. Several pre-packaged herbicides have been registered in soybean in recent years, but response of volunteer corn to these he...

Forage deficiency is the bottleneck that restricts development of plateau animal husbandry. Maize (Zea mays L.)–soybean (Glycine max L.) intercropping can improve forage biomass yield and silage quality. This experiment was conducted in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture to explore effects four maize varieties (M1, Rongyu Silage No. 1; M2, Yayu 04889; M3, Demeiya M4, Zhenghong 505) on yield, n...

a field study was conducted in qaen region using complete randomized blocks with three replications to study the effect of organic manure, zinc and boron on yield and yield components of millet and grain chemical composition. the treatments included factorial arrangement of municipal solid waste compost and cow manure (each at 25 ton ha-1), zn (0, 50 kg ha-1) and b (0, 10 kg ha-1) by using thei...

Approaches to restore productivity eroded soils are urgently needed sustain food security. We evaluated plant response soil-landscape rehabilitation, in which approximately 15 cm of topsoil was moved from depositional landscape positions the upper slope. Crop monitored for 6 yr a corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotation at severely site and 4 wheat (Triticum aestivum moderat...

Sustainable intensification of cropping systems is a strategy to increase productivity and reduce disservices conventional agroecosystems. Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) are winter annual oilseed crops well suited fill the fallow period between corn (Zea mays soybean [Glycine max Merr.] in U.S. northern Corn Belt, but resources use could limit their...

The study was aimed to determine the effect of soil ameliorant and inorganic fertilizers on nodulation and yield of some soybean varieties. Study was conducted under greenhouse condition in acid soils. Results revealed that all the tested varieties were compatible with native rhizobium at both study areas and showing the formation of nodules. A positive correlation was reported between the numb...

The application of zeolite to soils increases cation exchange capacity, and as increases nutrient retention capacity. Imbalanced nutrient management is one of the reasons responsible for low yield of potato in Iran. This study was carried out in research field of Islamic Azad University; Arak Branch at central of Iran to evaluate effect of zeolite particles and phosphorus fertilizer on agro-phy...
