The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and the complex of viruses it transmits are major limiting factors to squash production in southeastern United States. At this time, insecticides extensively relied upon for management whiteflies and, indirectly, whitefly-transmitted viruses. development a multi-faceted, integrated pest (IPM) program is needed in...

The study aims to determine the effectiveness of application quail manure and rice straw mulch on glutinous corn (Zea mays var. ceratina) growth production interaction between mulch. This used a factorial randomized block design (RBD) consisting 2 factors with 16 combinations 32 treatment plots. first factor was applying (L) which consisted 4 levels, 0 kg/plot, 0.85 1.70 2.55 kg/plot. second pr...

The trial was conducted to evaluate the influence of tillage and mulch practices on growth response maize selected forage legumes. With three replications, experiment carried out using a split-plot design. Mulch no were used as major plot treatments straw left from previous cropping season. subplot different namely Minimum (0.2 m) Deep (0.35 m).The research in Foothills Lesotho Ha-Matela Nazare...

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a significant fruit crop cultivated worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. However, its cultivation often constrained by limited water availability soil moisture stress, which may significantly affect yield quality. This study aimed to explore the effects of irrigation levels straw mulch on growth under drip system. The experiment encompassed six treatments:...

Aonla or Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis Gaertn) has become the important fruit crop of arid and semi–arid region of the country because of its hardy nature that makes it suitable to grow in varied edephoclimatic conditions of such regions. The major constraints are moisture stress and inherently poor soil fertility. The uses of mulches help to reduce water consumed (Keramat et al., 2011...

 In order to evaluate the effects of cover crops on reduced weed biomass in hybrid sunflower an experiment was carried in the research stations, Natural Resources Medicinal Plants (Samian_Ardabile) with 3 replicates in 1390-1391. The first factor was considered three type of cover crops, winter rye, spring barley, winter wheat with 2 control treatment, second factor was mulch management at two ...

ABSTRACT- To compare the effects of six types of non-living mulches (wheat straw, sawdust, coco peat, peat moss, transparent and black plastic) with metribuzin on yield and yield components of tomato cv "CH" and the weed control efficiency, a study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at School of Agriculture, Shiraz University in 2012. Plots without mulch...
