to investigate the efficiency of eradicane application, using herbigation as compared with conventional method (spraying), concerning weed biomass and density reduction and change in corn grain yield, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design in 2006 at research fields of university of tehran (karaj). eradicane was applied at 4.5 (labeled rate), 3.15 or 5.85...

introduction the lentil or masoor (lens culinaris l.) is a brushy annual plant of the legume family, grown for its lens-shaped seeds. lentil has been one of the first crops domesticated in the near east. with 26% protein, lentil is the vegetable with the highest level of protein other than soybeans, and it is an important part of people’s diet in many parts of the world. it is reported that the...

in order to evaluate the effect of nitrogen rate and weeding time on weed communities dynamic, a field study conducted in a research farm of chamran university, ahwaz. the experimental design was split plot based on rcb with three replications. nitrogen rates (77, 110, 143 kg/ha) were considered in the main plot and time of weeding (at 5, 8, 11, leaf stage with control and weedy plot) as sub pl...

evaluation of weed population and their interference on lentil varieties at different sowing date was investigated in a field experiment in khorramabad during 2005-06 growing season. the experimental design was a randomized complete block in factorial arrangement with 4 replications. the experiment had 3 factors including: planting date at three levels (autumn, winter, and spring) weed interfer...

Convergent phenotypic evolution may or may not be associated with convergent genotypic evolution. Agricultural weeds have repeatedly been selected for weed-adaptive traits such as rapid growth, increased seed dispersal and dormancy, thus providing an ideal system for the study of convergent evolution. Here, we identify QTL underlying weedy traits and compare their genetic architecture to assess...

field studies were conducted at lorestan, kermanshah and golestan provinces in 2006 to separately evaluation of clethodim herbicide for weedy grass control in soybean. all experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with four replicates. treatments included: clethodim at 0.6, 0.8, 1, and 1.2 l/ha; cycloxydim at 3 l/ha; haloxyfop-r-methyl at 0.75 l/ha; quizalofop-p-ethyl at 2 l/ha; a...

abstract- crop residue is applied to amend soil properties and increase crop yield. in this study, the effects of rapeseed residues and different rates of nitrogen on grain yield and yield components of sunflower and weed dry matter were investigated. the experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of college of agriculture, shiraz university, located at badjgah, shiraz, iran in 2007-2008...

an experiment was conducted in 2011 to evaluate the effect of weed interference on sunflower yield in deficit irrigation and to study the grass and broadleaf weeds growth at different moisture condition. the experiment was arranged as factorial, randomized complete blocks with four replicates per treatment. treatments included different moisture conditions [40%, 60%, 80%, and 100 percent of cro...

sowing date is the most important factor in physiological and morphological characteristics with positive effects on plants. to evaluate the effect of sowing date and weed interference on yield and yield components of red beans cultivars a factorial split plot experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out in the research field of zanjan university. main ...
