to determine suitable planting date and predicting emergence time in field conditions of iranian sugar beet cultivars we need some information including base temperature (t base) and heat units (hu). in this research germination tests were conducted on the seed of seven iranian monogerm sugar beet cultivars at various temperatures (3 to 36 ºc) with 3 ºc intervals. also field emergence was evalu...

in order to evaluate some agronomical management on weed control in sugar beet this experiment was conducted at safi-abad agr.res.center, dezful in 2002 and 2004. tow planting dates, september 16 and october 12 and five cultivator applications, one and two time application at 4-6 and 6-8 leaf stages, respectively and once plus hand hoeing, weedy and weed free checks arranged in split plot desig...

FIGURE 1 Echinochloa frumentacea control over three seasons. These trials were conducted under a wide variety of soil and climatic conditions. A randomised complete block designwith four replicationswas used. The trials werela.id out in such a way that each plot could be compared WIth an adjacent control strip. A plot size of 20 m' was used. ~er­ bicides were applied pre-emergence by means of s...

weather and climate parameters and their effects on crops, is one of the most effective factors in yield increase. agro-climatic studies could be used to determine the potential of various regions and the exploit these resources to the maximum possible extent. in this study, in order to evaluate the agricultural climate of spring canola cultivation in selected stations in hamedan province, the ...

The population density of Hoplolaimus magnistylus, a lance nematode, in cotton was determined at planting, mid-season, and harvest during the 1995 and 1996 growing seasons for a Poinsett County, Arkansas field. Nematode populations increased from planting to harvest in 1995 but declined in 1996. Application of aldicarb at planting at rates of 0.59 or 0.84 kg a.i./ha did not influence either nem...

Seed treatments with Bacillus cereus UW85 increased nodulation of soybeans in three field seasons and in three different sterilized soils in the growth chamber. In the field, 28 and 35 days after planting, UW85-treated plants had 31 to 133% more nodules than untreated plants. From 49 days after planting until seed harvest, there were no significant differences between nodulation of UW85-treated...

in order to assess drought stress and planting date effects applied on original plant, on the electrical conductivity rate of the subsequent seeds, this research was performed in two parts at the research field and laboratory during spring 2008. the field experiment was performed as a completely randomized block design (crbd) with 20 treatments and three replications. treatments included the se...

Bed planted wheat systems offer a new alternative for the traditional wheat producer to provide opportunities for crop rotation, more efficient use of water, and new techniques of nutrient management. This study was conducted to determine if planting winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Oklahoma on raised beds can maintain grain yields while providing more options in the cropping system. Expe...
