the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of winter crops residues on weed control, physiological indices, yield and yield components of potato. an experiment was carried out at the research farm of colleg of agricultural of bu-ali sina university in 2009. the experiment was a randomized complete block design with three replications. residues of rye, oilseed rape, triticale, barley, ...

Characterization and extraction of plant secondary metabolites are important in agriculture, pharmaceutical, and food industry. In this regard, the applied analytical methods are mostly costly and time-consuming; therefore, choosing a suitable approach is essential for optimum results and economic suitability. One of the recently considered methods used to characterize new types of materials is...

Incorporation of plant residues in soil affects N and C content and dynamics. This studydetermined the effects of short-term alternative rice (Oryza sativa L.) residue management on Nmineralization and uptake by rice. Pot and laboratory incubation experiments were established byincorporating 15N-labeled rice straw and rice straw compost in paddy soil. The 15N recovered by riceaveraged 16.6%; mo...

abstract recently weed scientist are more interested in weed management by allelopathy . the main objective of the study was to evaluate allelopathic potential of sunflower on redroot pigweed and common lambsquarter. this study was conducted in two series of laboratory and greenhouse experiments. under laboratory conditions, leaf, stem and root aqueous extracts of sunflower at 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5...

in order to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (n) and seeding rate and presence of rapeseed residues on yield and yield components of wheat, a field experiment was conducted in cropping year 2011- 12 at college of agriculture, shiraz university (badjgah), shiraz, iran as split-split plot arranged in randomized complete blocks design with three replications. treatment included presence and absence...

Objective: Returning crop residue to the soil exerts favorable effects on physical and chemical properties of soil. In fact, the plant residues can affect soil conditions such as pH and important role in soil fertility and cycling of elements in the soil may have. In addition to the role of the organic matter from decomposition of crop residue in increasing the concentration of micronutrients i...

The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of organic sources (animal manures vs. plant residues at the rate of 10 t ha-1 each) on the productivity of hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) production under different levels of phosphorus (0, 30, 60, and 90 kg P ha-1) fertilization. Two separate field experiments were conducted. In experiment (1), impact of three animal manures sources (ca...
