there are many methods for weed management one of them is putting allelopathic and cover crop in weed management programs. in order to study the effect of sowing time (delayed sowing, synchronic sowing) and wheat cultivars (shiraz, roshan, tabasi, niknejad) on allelopathic interaction of wheat and weed species (secale cereale l., avena ludoviciana l.: monocotyledon, convolvulus arvensis l. and ...

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed crop grown in our country. Majority of crop is under rainfed conditions and as a post rainy season (Rabi) crop in Andhra Pradesh. Several models are available to predict the phenology, growth and yield of groundnut crop. However, no precise models are available to validate the effects of moisture stress on groundnut and their subsequent im...

in order to study the effect of sowing date and plant density on some quantitative traits and yield of sugar beet genotypes a field experiment was carried out at sugar beet seed production research station of karaj in 2006. treatments arranged in a split, split plot experiment based on completely randomized block design with four replications. the main factors were two sowing dates as 14 april ...

Global climate change is predicted to shift seasonal temperature and precipitation patterns. An increasing frequency of extreme weather events such as heat waves and prolonged droughts is predicted, but there are high levels of uncertainty about the nature of local changes. Crop adaptation will be important in reducing potential damage to agriculture. Crop diversity may enhance resilience to cl...

A research was conducted in Southern Italy to study the changes in seed yield, oil content andfatty acids composition, in response to irrigation at different stages of growing season (at sowing,Dry; from sowing to beginning of flowering, S-BF; from visible bud to 75% flowering, VB-FF;from beginning of flowering to seed ripening, BF-M; from sowing to seed ripening, Full), in astandard sunflower ...

Abstract The authors have designed a seed pelleter and combined precision sowing rig, which are the backbone of technology pre-sowing treatment sowing. method is based on operation continuous pelleter, where protective nutritious coating formed around seeds while they move along spiral trajectory. next component rig that performs several technological operations in one pass: laying drip tape fo...

The belt uniform (BU) sowing pattern can improve the yield of winter wheat, but whether and how BU increase under different densities is unknown. field study was conducted in Guiyang (Guizhou province) during growing season 2017–2018, 2018–2019, 2019–2020. Four wheat cultivars were used experiments to investigate changes dry matter accumulation partition, components at maturity five (75, 150, 2...

In view of the uneven artificial sowing, low sowing, as well as the fact that the existing seeders cannot meet the sowing requirements of Pteris vittata, this paper designed an automatic plug seeder by using the method of spraying and sowing after mixing spores and water. In order to obtain the optimum working parameters of the seeder, response surface method (RSM) was employed to desi...

The study was taken up with the objective of testing whether the endophytic organisms isolated from crops that are normally non-hosts to the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum possessed pathogen-antagonistic activity and to evaluate the selected isolates for the alleviation of wilt disease in the target tomato crop through horizontal movement of promising organisms. Sixteen endophyt...

Prairie hay meadows are important reservoirs of grassland biodiversity in the tallgrass prairie regions of the central United States and are the object of increasing attention for conservation and restoration. In addition, there is growing interest in the potential use of such low-input, high-diversity (LIHD) native grasslands for biofuel production. The uplands of eastern Kansas, USA, which pr...
