investigation of various irrigation methods and intercropping are effective strategies for increasing water use efficiency and improve crop production. a field experiment conducted to study the effects of alternate furrow irrigation on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of forage corn with annual alfalfa cropping under its canopy in ilam climate conditions. experiment carried out as a...

ABSTRACT-In conventional agriculture, a large amount of energy is consumed in fuel consumption and depreciation of farm tractors and any other farm equipment mostly in tillage and planting operations. The main purpose of this research was to evaluate a till-planting unit equipped with three jointers. This unit was expected to act as conventional furrow openers such as shovel openers tilling the...

this experiment was performed based on split plot in rcbd with three replications in minab agricultural research station during two successive years. main plots were allocated to planting method (basin and furrow) and sub plot to four onion cultivars (‘primavera’, ‘white early grano 502’, ‘ht3544’ and ‘ht3560’). nursering was done in october and the transplants were transferred to main land in ...

A field inoculation method was developed to produce Meloidogyne spp. infestation sites with minimal quantities of nematode inoculum and with a reduced labor requirement compared to previous techniques. In a preseason-methyl bromidefumigated site, nematode egg suspensions were delivered at concentrations of 0 or 10(x) eggs/m of row where x = 2.12, 2.82, 3.52, or 4.22 through a drip line attached...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects furrow fertigation on nitrate deep leaching, runoff losses, and plant nitrogen supply in various growth stages maize ( Zea mays L.). Furrow experiment conducted 120 (W1), 100 (W2), 80 (W3), 60% (W4) levels required water (560 mm) (N1), (N2), 60 (N3), 0% (N4) fertilizer (184 kg N ha −1 ). N-fertilizer applied four split applications ...

Admire (imidacloprid), applied as a soil treatment, protected lettuce plants from developing infestations of green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), for 60 -100 d after planting based on two small plot and two commercial field trials. Admire applied 7.6 an sub -seed furrow provided longer and more consistent protection from green peach aphid than treatments applied to the soil surface, as a...

In China, the ridge-furrow water conservation planting (RC) system is advantageous for improving crop yields and rainwater use efficiency. In RC planting system, plastic film-mulched ridges are employed for water harvesting while the furrows serve as infiltration and planting belts. To optimize the RC system and to overcome problems due to the lack of water in semi-humid areas at risk of drough...

Limited water availability in future due to climate change may impact wheat yield and the food security. Therefore, it is necessary find out agronomic solutions reduce drought induce losses wheat. Planting method affects by changing soil status root growth. This 2-year study was designed evaluate of various planting methods along-with irrigation deficit regimes at different growth stages on net...
