A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years (2003 and 2004) to study the effect of row spacing (75, 65 and 55cm) and different weed competition durations (0, 15,30,45,60 days after emergence and throughout the growth period) on weeds density and biomass and growth and yield of maize. Reducing row spacing significantly suppressed the weed density and biomass. The maximum reduction...

a field study was conducted to determine the effects of planting method, density and nicosulforon on corn (ksc704) and weeds grown in corn at agricultural and natural resources research center of khorasan-razavi province, iran in 2009-2010 growing season. the treatments were: three planting methods (one row, two row and in-row), two planting density (75000 and 90000 plants/ha) and three doses o...

in order to study the effect of mallow weed competition and nitrogen (n) rates on grain yield and yield components of wheat cv. chamran, a field experiment was conducted in 2009. the experiment was designed as a split-plot with three replications and additive series. the n application rates were assigned in the main-plots (50, 100, 150 and 200 kg.n.ha-1) and sub-plots consisted of target common...

in order to study of the effect of nitrogen source, operation method and weed control methods on weed biomass, yield and yield components of corn (zea mays l.) an experiment was carried out as split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications in shahrood university of technology. the treatments included weed control methods at four levels (hand weeding...

field experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of wheat residues and different densities of sunflower in weed control during 2007 growing season. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with three replications. the experiment was set up in factorial arrangement, amount of 0, 1250, 2500, 3750, 5000 kg ha-1 of wheat residue and burning of residue (5000 kg ha-1) were the lev...

Producers are interested in tactics for managing crop residues when growing corn after spring wheat. We compared five systems of managing spring wheat residues: conventional tillage, no-till, strip-till, cover crop (hairy vetch) with no-till, and cover crop with strip-till following spring wheat. Conventional tillage consisted of chisel plowing and disking, whereas strip-till consisted of tilli...

in order to evaluate the effects of crop cultivars and living mulchon sunflower yield and weed control, a field experiment was carried out as factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2013. treatements were sunflower cultivars (‘azargol’, ‘allstar’, ‘farokh’) and weed control treatments (weed-free, weed-infestation and intercropping of fagopyru...
