the aim of this research was to compare more and less competitiveness of rice cultivars against barnyardgrass for light extinction coefficient and canopy structur. a filed experiment was conducted in 2007 growing season in tonekabon’s rice research station in mazandaran province. the experiment layout was a factorial design with four randomized complete blocks. seven rice cultivars (khazar, sep...

11 Organic tree fruit producers often rely on tillage in the tree row to control weeds and disrupt 12 rodent pest habitat. This inexpensive practice can potentially damage the trees’ trunk and roots, 13 thereby reducing yield and fruit quality. In contrast, mulching under the trees to suppress weeds 14 often improves tree performance but at a high initial installation cost, whereas flame weedin...

The most widely used method for weed control is to use agricultural chemicals (herbicides products). This heavy reliance on chemicals raises many environmental and economic concerns, causing many plantation companies to seek alternatives for weed control in order to reduce chemical usage in their plantation. Since manual labor is costly and expensive, an automated weed control system may be eco...

The critical period of weed control (CPWC) in crops depends on many factors including supply and availability of nutrients. In order to investigate the effect of starter fertilizer on the CPWC in soybean a field experiment in a randomized complete block design with four replications in a factorial arrangement was conducted at the Agricultural Research Farm of Razi University, Kermanshah, Iran. ...

<span>In precision farming, identifying weeds is an essential first step in planning integrated pest management program cereals. By knowing the species present, we can learn about types of herbicides to use control them, especially non-weeding crops where mechanical methods that are not effective (tillage, hand weeding, and hoeing mowing). Therefore, using deep learning based on convoluti...

In Bangladesh during 2017-2018 was conducted in a farmer's field of the Chattogram hill districts to determine effectiveness different weed control strategies for transplanted chilli. The dry weight weeds, efficiency, index, and yield components like number fruits per plant, fruit length, weight, marketable yield, had been significantly affected by using measures. act treatment chilli fields, h...

to assess the radiation use efficiency (rue) of different rice cultivars under transplanting (tp) and direct-sowing (ds) systems and scrutiny of weed effect, a split-plot factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2011 at haraz extension and technology development center in mahmoudabad city, mazandaran. the main plots were two plant...
