crop productivity, water use efficiency (wue), and microbial biomass c and n in rainfed dry area are influenced by tillage, rotation, and crop residue management. field experiments were conducted during 2005-08 to study the effect of tillage, crop rotation, and crop residue retention on oat fodder yield, water use efficiency, and microbial biomass c (mbc) and n (mbn) under semi-arid conditions ...

the use of more competitive species and cultivars in small grain cereal production may help to develop production systems that require less herbicide. this study was designed to identify root and shoot characteristics of cereal seedlings that would allow distinguishing the more competitive (mc) cultivars from the less competitive (lc) ones. two growth cabinet trials were conducted using four cr...

in order to investigate the tolerance of wild barley (hordeum spontaneum), wild oat (avena ludoviciana) and different wheat (triticum aestivum) cultivars to metribuzin (sencore®), a completely randomized design experiment was conducted in ferdowsi university of mashhad. the treatment were replicated three times and included wheat cultivars (atila, chamran, niknejad, dorum, gaskojen), weed speci...

The paper presents the research of spectral lines healthy and fusarium-infected oat seeds using a hyperspectral imaging system. Hyperspectral images diseased kernels were studied Specim IQ camera Albedo 4.0.23 program (for subsequent processing). diagrams horizon (800 nm - 1000 nm) have been determined. They can identify ZALP variety which infected with pathogenic microflora by fungi genus Fusa...

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of strip cropping and different weed control methods on the yield and yield structure of dent maize, narrow-leafed lupin and spring oat. A split-plot design with four replications was conducted in 2008-2010. The following factors were analysed in the experiment: I. Cultivation method – sole cropping and strip cropping; II. Weed control method ...
