crops that better tolerate weed competition or preempt resources from weeds may reduce dependence on herbicides and benefit an integrated weed management program. a field trail was conducted to determine the morphophysiological characteristics affecting tolerance and weed suppressive ability of some winter wheat cultivars in competition with rocket. the experimental treatments consisted of eigh...

in order to determine the critical period of weed control (cpwc), yield and yield components of black seed (nigella sativa l.) affected by weed competition and control periods, a field experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran in 2012. two sets of weed-in...

The objective of the study was to determine the coefficients of ileal apparent digestibility (CIAD) of sorghum protein and amino acids (AA) in weaned piglets and growing pigs. Digestibility coefficients were estimated using the regression and difference methods for the weaned piglets; and the direct and difference methods for the growing pigs. To test the hypothesis that CP and AA digestibility...

in order to study the intercropping effects of maize (zea mays l.) and bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and evaluating effect of intercropping on weed biomass, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, payamenoor university of nagadeh,west- azarbayjan, iran during growing season of 2009-2010. the experiment was laid out as randomized complete block design with three rep...

Weed infestation is considered a significant yield reducing factor in maize around the world as well south Asia. Integrated weed management (IWM) recommended to reduce our reliance on synthetic herbicides and sustainable production. In this study, different tillage regimes various allelopathic treatments were integrated for spring planted at Agricultural Research Station, Swabi (KP), Pakistan d...

in order to investigate rice competition ability against weeds in direct-seeding and transplanting systems afield experiment was conducted at mahmud abad region of mazandaran province on 2011 growing season. experimental treatments were studied in a split plot factorial design based on randomized complete blocks with three replicates. direct-seeding and transplanting of rice in wet seedbed were...

The stunt nematode, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, was found to cause a reduction in root volume (cm) of loblolly pine at population densities equivalent of 125 nematodes/100 cm (6 in) soil and greater. The results of a host range test conducted in containers under controlled conditions determined that buckwheat cultivar (Fagopryum esculentum ‘Mancan’), velvetbean (Mucuna pruriens), Kobe lespedeza ...

in order to investigate the weed diversity and modeling light interception in sole and intercropping millet and bean an experiment was conducted as complete randomized block design with 4 treatments and 4 replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2008. treatments included monocultures, intercropping of millet and bean and a control treatment...
