Field trials were conducted during the 2019-2020 cropping season to assess efficacy of S-metolachlor and flumetsulam (triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide)+S-metolachlor (chloro-acetanilide) pre-emergence herbicides in controlling weeds maize at Chisumbanje estate. The experiment was laid out as a randomised complete block design (RCBD) with three treatments replicated thrice. Treatments used inclu...

The objective of this research is the replacement of hand weeding in organic farming by a device working autonomously at field level. The autonomous weeding robot was designed using a structured design approach, giving a good overview of the total design. A vehicle was developed with a diesel engine, hydraulic transmission, four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering. The available power and the s...

A reduced herbicide rate with hand-weeding (HW) can act as a safer and sustainable approach for weed control. field study was conducted at CSIR-IHBT, Palampur, India during 2018 2019 to analyze the efficacy of herbicides in combination manual weeding on control yield wild marigold (Tagetes minuta L). The experiment laid 12 treatments, consisting two dosages prescribed rates (R) pendimethalin, i...

Seeding rangeland following wildfire is a central tool managers use to stabilize soils and inhibit the spread of invasive plants. Rates of successful seeding on arid rangeland, however, are low. The objective of this study was to determine the degree to which water availability, invasive plant abundance, and seeding technology influence postfire seedling establishment. Across four fire complexe...

The present study was conducted at Collage of Agricultural Engineering Sciences University Duhok (Sumel) and Zakho Research Center (Zakho), Kurdistan Region, Iraq, during the growing season 2021-2022 to investigate effect different factors includes broad bean cultivars (Aguadulce & Lunga Delle Cascine), herbicide treatments (Control, Basagran 300mL.100L-1, Gallant super 375mL.100L-1, + Hand...

Weed flora that competes with a particular crop species depends upon environmental factors and cropping systems. In this paper we present taxonomic analysis of the weed in potato grown conventionally under semi-arid Tunisian climate, its shift according to cultural practices particularly hand weeding chemical treatments. A total 29 belonging 16 families 27 genus have been reported crop. florist...

Farming organic vegetable and crops have grown as a market desiring commodity. Weed control in farms has been costly and laborous and it has always been hard to achieve a proper weeding. A few chemicals are commonly applied in organic farming. Thermal weeding with flame burners seems a good solution; however, it has its own drawbacks, such as; damaging the main crops, low performance, being inf...

in order to compare the performance of different weed mangement methods in spring and waiting planting of rainfed chickpea this experiment was carrid out as split plot in randomized complete block design with four replications at maragheh agricaltural research station during 2004–2005 crop season. the main factors were planting ِdates including the waiting and spring planting. sub plots were wee...

The effect of some weed control treatments (Bifonex, Tribenuron-methyl, hand weeding and unweeded check), five wheat cultivars (Sakha 69, Sids 6, Sids 7, Sids 8 and Sids 9) and their interaction on the productivity of wheat plants and associated weeds were examined under the sandy soil conditions. The obtained data indicated that total dry weight/m2 recorded at 60 days from wheat sowing signifi...
