We studied the effects of hand weeding of second-year plants of the biennial garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) on first-year plants (seedlings) and native ground layer vegetation. Garlic mustard is a Eurasian species that has invaded deciduous forest ground layers in eastern North America. Treatments consisted of a control and an early or late weeding of second-year garlic mustard. The early ...

in order to study of the effect of nitrogen source, operation method and weed control methods on weed biomass, yield and yield components of corn (zea mays l.) an experiment was carried out as split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications in shahrood university of technology. the treatments included weed control methods at four levels (hand weeding...

A study was conducted to check the effect of different sowing dates and row spacing on the growth, seed yield and quality of offseason pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Climax). Significant differences were recorded among sowing dates for days to germination while nonsignificant results were found for row spacing and interaction (A × B). Maximum days to germination were recorded in D1 (20 th April) and...

this study was conducted in split plot design based on a randomized complete block design in naghadeh region, urmia, iran in 2009-10. two sowing patterns including a1) single row planting with 50 cm between-row spacing, and a2) two rows planting on the hill with 40 cm distance and 50 cm between-row spacing (40×50) were allocated to main plots and four furrow compactions including b1) control, b...

in order to evaluate the delay cropping on yield and yield component of two canola cultivars and selecting the best genotype and row spacing, an experiment was conducted at three years (2007, 2008 and 2009) in gorgan research station. this experiment was arranged in spilt-factorial based on randomized complete block design with four sowing dates (28 oct., 12 and 28 nov. and 12 dec.) as main plo...

In a field experiment, growth parameters of soybean cultivars in different weeding regimes was investigated. The trial was split plot in a randomized complete block design. The four cultivars and two lines of soybean (Glycine max L.) including: Sahar, Hill, Sari, Telar, 032 and 033 in main plot and weeding regime consist of no weeding (control), one weeding (35 days after planting) and two weed...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new technique for row spacing measurement in a wire array using giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensor. The self-rectifying property of the GMR-based probes leads to accurately detection of the magnetic field fluctuations caused by surface-breaking cracks in conductive materials, shape-induced magnetic anisotropy, etc. The ability to manufacture probes h...
