Biomass of legumes grown as catch crops improves soil properties and thus soil conditions for following crops. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) grown as a catch crop and used for green manure on soil properties and yielding of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Field experiments were conducted in 2008-2011 in the randomized block design with ...

in order to study the source limitation and contribution of pre-anthesis assimilates to grain in dual-purpose (forage and grain) barley, a field experiment was carried out in iran, ahvaz region. the experimental design was split plot in randomized complete block with three replications. application rates of nitrogen at four levels (60, 120, 180 and 220 kg.ha-1 n) were as main plots, while sub p...

I note that anteroposterior techniques were the most commonly used techniques for treating the glenohumeral joint to relieve shoulder pain and stiffness. As a clinician I have often found this technique to be unreliable or ineffective at best, and at other times to exacerbate pain in the shoulder. I would be interested to know whether the results would have been different if other commonly used...

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor for plant production in acid soils. Wild barley germplasm is rich in genetic diversity and may provide elite genes for crop Al tolerance improvement. The hydroponic-experiments were performed to compare proteomic and transcriptional characteristics of two contrasting Tibetan wild barley genotypes Al- resistant/tolerant XZ16 and Al-sensitive XZ61...

this research was conducted to assess the effects of management and environmental factors on the weed species richness of winter crops in ilam province. in order to recognize the weed species, three counties were selected based on the type of climate in 2011-2012. according to the cultivated areas of winter crops in each county, 48 fields were chosen and demographic information was calculated b...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a cereal crop traditionally used in animal feed, malting, and food production. In this study, collection of barley was analyzed according to key grain quality traits, including protein content (GPC), starch (GSC), extractivity (EX), test weight per liter (TWL). A genome-wide association study (GWAS) conducted identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated ...

In a 3-year experiment, the effect of catch crop management [catch crop incorporated in autumn (A) or mulched (B) vs plots without a catch crop (C)] on soil acid (PAC) and alkaline (PAL) phosphatase activities as well as on the available phosphorus content (PAVAIL) were investigated on typical Alfisol. The catch crops were sown at the beginning of August and ploughed in the autumn in 2008, 2009...

A study was carried out over a two year period (2009/2010 and 2012/2013) on an experimental farm in the Alentejo region (Beja), in southern Portugal where rainfed malt barley (Hordeum distichum L.) is sown at the end of autumn or beginning of winter (November–December). The aim of this experiment was to study the efficiency of the herbicide iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium to control post-emergence b...
