Population abundances of both Acarina (mites) and Collembola (springtails) were examined for continuous corn grown under no-till and conventional management practices on a clay loam, an Orthic Humic Gleysol (Typic Haplaquoll) near Ottawa, Ont., Canada (Lat. 458 220 N; Long. 758 430 W). For each tillage practice, samples for soil faunal extraction and soil attribute characterization were taken p...

An improved understanding of temporal and spatial variations in soil respiration is essential for measuring soil CO2 effluxes accurately. In this study, a field experiment was conducted to investigate the spatial and temporal variability of soil respiration between adjacent crop rows in a soybean (Glycine max L.) field. Soil CO2 concentration, water content, and temperature at a 7.5 cm depth we...

In order to evaluation effect of different level of humic acid affected drought stress on seed yield, its components and morphological traits of corn a research farm was conducted according split plot experiment based randomized complete blocks design at three replication during 2015 year. Main factor included four irrigation regimes (90mm, 110 mm, 130 mm and 150mm evaporation from pan class A)...

In the context of precision viticulture, remote sensing in the optical domain offers a potential way to map crop structure characteristics, such as vegetation cover fraction, row orientation or leaf area index, that are later used in decision support tools. A method based on the RGB color model imagery acquired with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is proposed to describe the vineyard 3D macro-...

Accumulation of dry matter in siliqua, number of siliqua per plant, length of siliqua and seeds per siliqua of rapeseed (Brassica campestris L.) plants were studied under three irrigation levels (no irrigation, one irrigation at 30 DAS and two irrigations at 30 and 60 DAS) and three row spacing (20 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm). Th e experiment was carried out at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (S...

With the continuous improvement of mechanization level and development new crop varieties, optimal strip width for intercropping crops is important. In this study, field experiments were conducted to analyze effects different row spacings planting patterns on photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, related enzyme activities maize ear leaves in a maize–soybean system using two (wide–narrow row...

in order to evaluate the effects of intercropping of maize- peanut, weeding and their planting design on weed population dynamics, an experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment in the form of rcbd with three replications at the research farm of agriculture center of zabol university (iran) in 2012. the treatments including sowing system in four levels as first factor  (sole maize, sole ...
