abstract in order to evaluate the influence of nitrogen application and duration of weed interference on corn (zea mays l.) yield and yield components, a field study was conducted in 2004 at the ferdowsi university of mashhad research field. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with a factorial treatment arrangement replicated three times. nitrogen fertilizer was applied at r...

to evaluate the effect of reduced doses of foramsulfuron and nitrogen rates on weed biomass in corn field, an experiment was conducted using split plots arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications at research field of ferdowsi university of mashhad, in 2011. main plots were weed control levels comprising three reduced herbicide doses of foramsulfuron (50, 75, a...

The low average grain yield (0.7 ton ha(-1)) of tef in Ethiopia is mainly attributed to low soil fertility, and inappropriate tillage and weeds control practices. Despite this, limited scientific information has been documented so far on their interaction effects on tef crop productivity in northern Ethiopia. The objective of this study was to assess the separate and interaction effects of till...

ABSTRACT- Crop residue is applied to amend soil properties and increase crop yield. In this study, the effects of rapeseed residues and different rates of nitrogen on grain yield and yield components of sunflower and weed dry matter were investigated. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, located at Badjgah, Shiraz, Iran in 2007-2008...

Corn gluten meal (CGM) is a natural product that is typically used as a fertilizer (8-0-0), but also has reported herbicidal activity against germinating seeds. Its use as a method of preemergence weed control on cranberry farms was evaluated. The use of CGM in cranberry is a novel approach, therefore a greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate any potential phytotoxicity or harmful effects of...

management of nitrogen fertilization in crops is one of the most important components of integrated weed management. a two-year field experiment was conducted to determine the direct effects of wild mustard aboveground biomass and n content of wild mustard on oilseed rape yield. a set of factorial treatments was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments w...

background and objectives: drought is one of the most important factor limiting plant growth around the world and the most common environmental stress which is limited produce approximately 25% of the world's land. production of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants changes by environmental condition and also water stress is effective factor in growth and synthesis natural compounds in...
