Forage brassicas are used as a forage in monoculture and multispecies mixtures, yet research defining best management practices is limited. Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of land preparation method planting date on establishment, mass, quality two Brassica species, ‘Inspiration’ canola (Brassica napus L.) ‘T-Raptor’ hybrid turnip (B. rapa subsp. × B. L.). Each experiment was...

in order to study the effects of fall planting dates on yield and yield components of six cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) ecotypes an experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design as a split-plot with three replications during 2007-08 growing season at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. three planting dates (18 oct. (first), 8 nov. (second) and 29 de...

twenty local and foreign maize (zea mays l.) hybrids in five different maturity groups were evaluated in mashhad, iran for two years (2007-2009). three planting dates (5th may, 20th may and 5th june) and hybrids were arranged in a randomized complete block design as split plot arrangements, with three replications. the planting dates were in main plots and hybrids in subplots. the results indic...

The effects of cotton-corn rotation and glyphosate use on levels of soil-borne Aspergillus flavus, aflatoxin and fumonisin contamination in corn and cotton seed were determined during 2002-2005 in Stoneville, Mississippi (USA). There were four rotation systems (continuous cotton, continuous corn, cotton-corn and corn-cotton) for both glyphosate-resistant (GR) and non-GR cultivars-herbicide syst...

Planting date effects on arthropod infestation and viral plant disease are undocumented for winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L., in South Dakota and the northern Great Plains. Winter wheat was planted over three dates (early, middle, and late; generally from late August to late September) to determine the effect on abundance of insect pests, incidence of plant damage, incidence of viral plant di...

the effects of planting date and single irrigation (si) allocation scenarios on increasing and stability of yield were investigated to determine the total water productivity and economical water productivity (wpe), for rainfed wheat at dryland agricultural research institute in maragheh, iran, during 2000-2004. the treatments included three sowing dates (early, normal and late), four allocation...

in order to study the effects of planting date and plant density on yield and its components in three chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) cultivars in rainfed conditions of ilam, a field experiment was carried out using split plot design as factorial by complete randomized block design with three replications at shirvan-chardavol agriculture research station during 2008-2009. sowing dates were assign...
