Knowledge about fungi diversity following different planting patterns could improve our understanding of soil processes and thus help us to develop sustainable management strategies. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of different furrow-ridge mulching techniques on fungal diversity in rhizosphere soil under continuous cropping system. The investigated treatments were: flat...

The problem of cooperative effect and competition between trees in forest has been considered. Special attention has been paid to the possibility of twofold increase in timber yield due to the dramatic decrease of intraspecific competition between individual trees. Use has been made of a large experimental area (about 50.000 hectares in mountainous Kirghizia) to demonstrate that the drastic inc...

This experiment was conducted, to study the effect of planting time and planting density on savory (Satureja sahendica Bornm.) in 2012 in Alborz Research Station, Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands, Karaj, Iran. The experiment was carried out in split plot in time in the form of a randomized complete block design with three replicates. The main plots were planting times in two levels ...

This paper presents a method used in China Agriculture Remote Sensing Monitoring System (CHARMS) for automatically identifying crop planting areas and monitoring crop growth conditions at a large scale based on time-series of MODIS NDVI Datasets. In doing that, the characteristics of NDVI time series of spring wheat, spring maize, soybean and rice in Northeastern China were firstly analyzed to ...

in order to study the effects of planting pattern on yield and yield components in different cultivars of forage corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted at saline conditions (ec=6.43 ds.m-1) of dasht-e-malhe, neyshabour during growing season of 2009-2010. nine treatments and two furrow planting and furrow bed planting as main plots and three cultivars (ksc 704, zp 644 and ns540) as sub ...
