One factor limiting the achievement of high yields in soybean crop is weed interference. The level interference can vary according to specificities community but also due agronomic characteristics varieties. objective this work was evaluate effects on varieties different relative maturity groups (RMG). A field experiment implemented a randomized complete block design, 3 × 4 factorial scheme, wi...

Intercropping leek (Allium porrum L.) and celery (Apium graveolens L.) was recognized as an option to reduce growth and reproductive potential of weeds while maintaining yield and product quality of both crops on a high level. To optimise the intercropping system for yield, quality and weed suppression a combined use of mechanistic and descriptive models, together with experimental work, was ap...

In field trials planted in the Midlands North and Gingindlovu areas, Melinis minutiflora Beauv. was intercropped in various ways with sugarcane in fields bordered by Cyperus dives C.B. Cl. to determine whether the presence of this grass reduced Eldana saccharina Walker numbers and infestation levels in sugarcane. Results showed E. saccharina populations were decreased by up to 50% and E. saccha...

To study the performance of soybean (Glycine max L.) cultivars in varying weeding regimes, a field experiment was conducted in 2010. The experiment was split plot in a randomized complete block design with 3 replicates. The four cultivars and two lines of soybean including: Sahar, Hill, Sari, Telar, 032 and 033 in main plot and weeding regime consist of no weeding (control), one weeding (35 day...

introduction amount and vertical distribution of leaf area are essential for estimating interception and utilization of solar radiation of crop canopies and, consequently dry matter accumulation (valentinuz & tollenaar, 2006). vertical distribution of leaf area is leaf areas per horizontal layers, based on height (boedhram et al., 2001). above-ground biomass is one of the central traits in func...

To study the effects of applied nitrogen levels and wild mustard densities on the growth of wheat and wild mustard, a field experiment was conducted at Re-search and Experimental Field of Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz-Iran. The effects of three nitrogen levels namely 90, 150 and 210 kg.ha-1 and four wild mustard densities such as 0, 5, 10 and 15 plants.m-2 were evaluated in split plot arrang...

But recent relatively rapid change in climate occurs due to anthropogenic activities which makes alarming attention because it contributes largely to global warming by affecting the greenhouse gases (GHGs) and aerosols. GHGs mainly CO2, methane, nitr...

this research was investigated to evaluate growth indices and competitive ability of two wheat ) triticum aestivum l. (cultivars in interference with two species of narrow and broad leaf weeds as two separated experiments based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural faculty of bu-ali sina university, during 2008-2009. in both experiments, alvand and sayson...

prediction of weed emergence timing would help minimize crop yield loss and reducing herbicide use by optimization of the timing of weed control. therefore, seedling emergence evaluation was conducted in different irrigation levels (40, 60, 80, 100 percent of crop water requirement and furrow irrigation) to develop a thermal time seedling emergence model for amaranthus retroflexus l. in sunflow...
