chickpea (cicer arietinum) is the third most important pulse crop in the world, grown widely across asia and the middle east. weed is one of the main limiting factors in chickpea (cicer arietinum) production. several characteristics of chickpea (cicer arietinum), such as slow plant emergence, short plant height, and chickpea morphology allow weeds to compete effectively. to investigate the effe...

in order to evaluation of relation between weed dynamic and utilization of nitrogen in weed as influence of integrated fertilizer management in different weed densities, a field experiment was carried out in experimental farm of agricultural faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz at 2011-2012 growing season. experimental design was based on a split-plot with three replications .main plot...

in order to evaluate the interference effect natural population weeds and plant density, an experiment with randomized complete block design in factorial arrangement with 4 replications was conducted in 2006 in a field experiment at ramin agricultural and natural resources university, khouzestan. treatments included two factor, plant density of corn at three levels (4, 7 and 10 plants m-2) and ...

in order to investigate the effects of input intensity on species diversity, composition and density of weeds in corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during the year 2009. treatments included low input, medium input and high input systems. low...

management of a companion crop is critical to successful establishment of perennial forages (Albrecht and Hall, Weed control during alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) establishment is 1995). a primary concern of forage producers. Companion crops and clearWeed management is important for decreasing comseeding with an herbicide are commonly used methods for establishing alfalfa. This study evaluated an...

In greenhouse and field experiments, a mycelial formulation of the fungus Myrothecium verrucaria (IMI 361690) containing 0.20% Silwet L-77 surfactant exhibited high bioherbicidal efficacy against the problematic weed hemp sesbania. Infection and mortality levels of 100% of hemp sesbania seedlings occurred within 48 h after fungal application in the greenhouse. In rice field tests conducted over...

The results of seven pre-emergence herbicide screening trials involving 27 chemicals are presented. The experiments, which were conducted over a fouryear period, differed with respect to soil moisture conditions, soil type and prevailing weed flora. Special attention was directed to the control of Cyperus esculentus, C. rotundus and grasses. Mean visual assessmenlts of control of species or spe...

in order to investigate the effect of different weed-free and weed-infested periods on the growth indices of black seed, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad, during 2009-2010 growing season. the experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and 3 replications. twelve experimental treatments cons...

The use of leaf mulch as a soil cover is effective in improving yield and soil fertility. The field experiment was conducted during 2010 and 2011 to study the effect of plant spacing (30 cm × 30 cm and 45 cm × 30 cm) and four mulches {pine needles (Pinus roxburghii), poplar leaf (Populus deltoides), silver oak (Grevillea robusta) tree leaf mulch and unmulched control} on growth, yield, qual...

Growth trial of thirteen weeks’ duration was carried out on 24 pigs (2 months age; 12.5 kg b. wt.) which were divided into four groups of 6 pigs each and were fed with control diet concentrated feed mixture (CFM) (T0), CFM plus polyherbal superliv (500 g/ton) (T1), CFM plus polyherbal Ruchamax (500g/ton) (T2) and CFM plus AV/AGP/10 polyherbal (500g/ton) (T3). The dry mater intake (DMI) (g/d) in...
