Water potential is amongst the most useful parameters for the measurement of the degree of water stress in plants. With the objective of mitigating adverse effects of moisture stress on water potential, osmotic potential and pressure potential of wheat variety Inquilab-91, a greenhouse experiment was conducted using two moisture levels viz., normal moisture supply and moisture stress at crown r...

Double direct-seeding for double rice cropping is a simplified, labor saving, and efficient cropping system to improve multiple-crop index and total rice production in central China. However, poor crop establishment of direct-seeded early rice due to chilling stress is the main obstacle to wide spread of this system. A series of experiments were conducted to unravel the effects of pre-sowing se...

in order to study different arrangements and weed controls effects on mung bean (vigna radiate l. wilczek) – black cumin (nigella sativa l.) intercropping an experiment was conducted at the research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during growing season 2005 – 2006. sixteen treatments comprising combinations of eight sowing patterns [a1: sole black cumin,...

Fertilizer amendments can impact weed populations in a variety of ways. This study evaluated the effects of 12 year-long applications of different fertilization systems on size and composition of the weed seed bank in a conventionally managed maize monoculture field. Fertilization systems included all factorial combinations of two dairy cattle slurry rates, three vegetable, fruit and garden was...

proper sowing date along with providing normal growth rate in rape oilseed plants significantly leads to higher seed and oil yield via decreasing cold damages. the experiment was conducted as factorial with two factors including sowing dates with 4 levels (12 and 23 september, 2 and 12 october) and genotypes with 5 levels (modena, licord, okapi, opera and zarfam) in three replications. the stud...

Unweathered crop residues can produce growth-inhibiting substances, stimulate pathogen growth, and immobilize nutrients. The location of seed relative to residue may be an important factor in the early health of a crop. This greenhouse study simulated sowing conditions possible under annual dryland winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production to evaluate the likelihood of inhibitory effects. ...

one of the main problems in the mass production of pepper transplant is the stickiness of seed coat to the cotyledony leaves that can lead to no emergence or having poor emergence of pepper seedlings. therefore, in order to evaluate the effects of different sowing depths and soil compactions on emergence and early seedlings growth of pepper, a greenhouse experiment was conducted in the faculty ...
