Rubber tree production is reduced by weeds that compete for environmental resources; therefore, the timing and duration of weed control influences weed interference. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the growth of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) plants, to determine the critical period for weed control, and to evaluate the growth recovery of rubber trees that coexisted with weeds f...

in order to investigate the efficacy of split, reduced and whole rates of oxyfluorfen in controlling redroot pigweed (amarnthus retroflexus) and also to evaluate possible soybean (glycine max) injuries a experiment was conducted in research greenhouses of karaj collage of agriculture, university of tehran in 2005. treatments included oxyfluorfen doses at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 l/ha in one stage ...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of clopyralid mixed with other herbicides weeds and sugar beet (beta vulgaris) in 2008 at experimental field of research center of agricultural and natural resources research center of khorasan razavi. experimental design was completely randomized block with three replications. treatment were included doses of 350 and 500 ml.ha-1 clopyralid i...

in order to evaluation of relation between weed dynamic and utilization of nitrogen in weed as influence of integrated fertilizer management in different weed densities, a field experiment was carried out in experimental farm of agricultural faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz at 2011-2012 growing season. experimental design was based on a split-plot with three replications .main plot...

Intercropped corn (Zeu mays L.) and soybean [Glycine mux (L.) Merr.] may produce more total yield per hectare than either grown separately, ie., land equivalent ratio (LER) >l. Low N fertility, limited moisture, and weed competition have each been reported to result in high land equivalent ratios. Thus it was hypothesized that intercropping advantages were greater under stress conditions. The o...

An investigation was carried out at the Muda rice fields, Peninsular Malaysia during four consecutive seasons of 2004 and 2005 to study the seasonal variation in the weed seedbank. Species composition with their dominance ranking and similarity between the species were recorded. A total of 577 seeds/sample (3337 seeds/m ) in 1/2004, 970 seeds/sample (5659 seeds/m ) in 2/2004, 928 seeds/sample (...

Farmers' participatory field trials were conducted at Madhuban, and Taraori, the two participatory experimental sites/locations of the Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA), a collaborative project of IRRI and CIMMYT in Karnal district of Haryana, India, during Kharif (wet season) 2010 and 2011. This research aimed to evaluate preemergence (PRE) and postemergence (POST) herbicides fo...

in order to evaluate the efficacy of some new herbicides in corn farms, a field study was conducted during the 2010 growing season in jiroft. the experimental design was completely randomized blocks, with 11 treatments and 4 replications. treatments were nicosulfuron at 2lit/ha, foramsulfuron at 2.5 lit/ha, rimsulfuron at 50 g/ha, nicosulfuron+ rimsulfuron at 175 g/ha, bromoxynil+mcpa at 1.5 li...

Accurate and timely detection of weeds between and within crop rows in the early growth stage is considered one of the main challenges in site-specific weed management (SSWM). In this context, a robust and innovative automatic object-based image analysis (OBIA) algorithm was developed on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) images to design early post-emergence prescription maps. This novel algorithm ...

Herbicides are usually applied multiple times by growers for season long weed control in Florida citrus (Citrus sp.). Rimsulfuron, a sulfonylurea herbicide has been recently registered for control of certain grasses and broadleaf weeds in citrus. To increase the weed control spectrum and reduce application cost, citrus growers often prefer to tank mix herbicides. Field experiments were conducte...
