This research evaluated the effectiveness of biodegradable mulches for weed control in container-grown ‘Martin’ giant arborvitae (Thuja plicata) and measured the effects of these mulches on evaporation and substrate temperature. The experiment was carried out in the 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. Four biodegradable mulching materials were tested and compared with a chemical control (oxadiazon) ...

in order to compare of ecological management of weed control on economical income, yield and yield components of cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.), a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and four replications was conducted in mahvelat of khorasan razavi province, iran. treatments consisted of weeding, harrowing, burning, two times weeding, weeding + harrowing, weeding + burning, har...

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...

In Europe, Rumex obtusifolius L. is the most problematic grassland weed species, especially under the conditions of organic farming. The aims of this study were (1) to investigate the effectiveness of repeated mechanical weeding of R. obtusifolius from the permanent sward, cut two or three times per year, by digging the plants out from 5 cm below the soil surface, and (2) to test the effect of ...

Direct seeded rice (DSR) production has been recognised as a more efficient way for conserving both labour and water. However, in regards to irrigation brown manuring (BM), DSR gotten relatively little attention. Hence, field study was conducted findout the effect of on physiological characters yield (TRY 3) under sodic soil condition. The experiment laid out split plot design each replicated t...

A field experiment was conducted during the seasons of 2010/2011 in a semiarid savannah zone, at the faculty of agriculture demonstration farm University of Zalingei two kilometers east of Zalingei town Western Darfur State. The aim of the experiment is to study the effect of weed control on growth and seed production of (Clitoria ternatea) under rainfed conditions. Four treatments viz.; No wee...

A field experiment was conducted at the Pulse Research Centre of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Ishurdi, Pabna during Kharif-II season of 2010 to evaluate the efficacy of five herbicides for controlling weeds associated with mungbean (BARI Mung-6). The five herbicides such were: Paraxon (27.6% WV Paraquat dichloride salt), M-clor 5G (Butaclor), Topstar 40 WP (40% Oxadiargyl), Hamme...

A field study was conducted in the boro season of 2011-12 and aman season of 2012 at Jessore, Bangladesh, to evaluate the performance of sequential applications of preemergence herbicides (oxadiargyl 80 g ai ha(-1), pendimethalin 850 g ai ha(-1), acetachlor + bensulfuranmethyl 240 g ai ha(-1), and pyrazosulfuron 15 g ai ha(-1)) followed by a postemergence herbicide (ethoxysulfuron 18 g ai ha(-1...

A field study on the effects of pre- and post-emergence application herbicide (pendimethalin) reproductive yield five accessions cowpea (TVu-9092, TVu-16265, TVu-16320, TVu-16323 TVu-16421) was conducted between June August, 2018. Pendimethalin applied both as early (PE EPOE) followed by hand weeding at 4 8 weeks after sowing (WAS). Number pods per plant highest in TVu-9092 treated with 0.125 k...
