One of the major problems in the real time decision of agricultural intelligence expert system is how to be obtained the real time information of crops growth and its close relation environment data. As result the extraction of crops planting areas and their spatial distribution and their growth variety, especially when the natural disaster arises, such as drought, its spatial distribution and ...

On global scale, community participation in various activities is the core in the quest for sustainable development and environmental protection related issues. Community involvement in tree planting in Kenya is as old as modern agroforestry that started in 1971. However, certain biophysical environmental factors have not worked against the concept of community participation in tree planting. A...

Experiments were conducted at the CSIR-Crops Research Experimental station at Kumasi, Ghana, to determine the effects of seed sorting and planting device on yield of maize in the 2014 major growing season. Two jab planters were used to plant sorted and unsorted seeds. The control treatment was cutlass planting of unsorted seed. One of the jab planters was imported from China; and the other was ...

Eggs of Meloidogyne arenaria race 1 were encapsulated in calcium alginate for use as inoculum to infest peanut field plots. Some eggs within the capsules remained viable up to 10 weeks after preparation. A field site was successfully infested at peanut planting and (or) 6 weeks later. Dual applications of nematode inoculum (at planting and 6 weeks later) were superior to single applications (at...

This experiment was conducted at Azad University experiment station to evaluate the effects of planting date and time of nitrogen application on yield and sugar content of sweet sorghum in 2003. Four planting dates (May 4, March 19, June 3 and June 18) and three stages of nitrogen application (3-5/8 leaf stage, boot stage and soft dough stage) were assigned to the main and subplots, respectivel...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and planting method on yield and yield components of two chickpea cultivars (cicer arietinum l.), an experiment was carried out at the research field of faculty of agriculture; shiraz university, using a split factorial randomized complete block design with four replications. the main factor was irrigation stop at different growth stages of chi...

Phenamiphos (6.7 kg a.i./ha) was applied via an irrigation simulator to squash at planting (AP) and 2 weeks after planting (PP), and to corn AP and 1 week PP to manage root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita). The nematicide was applied with 0.25, 0.64, 1.27, and 1.91 cm surface water/ ha to a Lakeland sand in which the soil moisture was at or near field capacity. Based on efficacy and crop ...

Microplot experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of inoculum level and time of application of Paecilomyces lilacinus on the protection of tomato against MeIoidogyne incognita. The best protection against M. incognita was attained with 10 and 20 g of fungus-infested wheat kernels per microplot which resulted in a threefold and fourfold increase in tomato yield, respectively, compared...

In 1984-85 metham-sodium and the combination of 1,3-dichloropropene plus aldicarb decreased (P = 0.05) soil population densities of Pratylenchus penetrans at planting, midseason, and at harvest relative to the untreated control. These treatments increased (P = 0.05) marketable potato tuber yield from 27% to 46% in 1984 and from 23% to 37% in 1985, as compared with the control. In 1984 oxamyl (1...
