to evaluate the effect of combined use of weeds control an different mechanical methods on weeds number and dry weight in cotton , a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted at the region of boshruyeh in 2012. experimentals factors were tillage methods as main-plots with three levels, including conventional tillage, no-till system and minimum tillage; and di...

due to the importance of weed control and the limitations of mechanical methods in some places, in this research the water jet cutting for weed control was investigated. the cutting tests were performed on camel thorn weed in shahid bahonar university of kerman. the water jet pressure of 90 bars was achieved with the aid of a suitable pump. the cutting time was studied in a completely randomize...

Organic farming has been identified as promoting soil quality even though tillage is used for weed suppression. Adopting zero tillage and other conservation tillage practices can enhance soil quality in cropping systems where synthetic agri-chemicals are relied on for crop nutrition and weed control. Attempts have been made to eliminate tillage completely when growing several field crops organi...

Since 1996, genetically modified herbicide-resistant (HR) crops, particularly glyphosate-resistant (GR) crops, have transformed the tactics that corn, soybean, and cotton growers use to manage weeds. The use of GR crops continues to grow, but weeds are adapting to the common practice of using only glyphosate to control weeds. Growers using only a single mode of action to manage weeds need to ch...
