to investigate the factors affecting the population density of weeds and yield loss of them in wheat, a non systematic survey experiment was conducted in 45 fields in the township of bandar-gaz (sarmahaleh village) in 2012. sampling of wheat and weeds were taken in two stages (heading and harvest maturity) by randomized to the five points of each field using quadrate size 1m*1m. in this study a...

Weeds are a major obstacle to successful crop production in organic farming. Producers may be able to reduce inputs for weed management by designing rotations to disrupt population dynamics of weeds. Population-based management in conventional farming has reduced herbicide use by 50% because weed density declines in cropland across time. In this paper, we suggest a 9-year rotation comprised of ...

today, due to the problems caused by herbicide application, there is a strong interest in developing alternative methods of weed control. to study the effects of soil solarization, barley straw mulch on weed flora, a field experiment was conducted at research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad during the growing season of 2007-2008. this experiment was based on a ...

in order to study the weed damage and to determinate the influence of weed species and multiple weed species competition in corn (zea mays l.), a field experiment was conducted based on interval mapping at the agronomy research field of ferdowsi university of mashhad during 2009-2010. treatments consisted of four density level of crop (5, 6, 7 and 9 plant.m-2) and four type of weed management (...

weeds in wheat (triticum aestivum l.) fields have always been a big problem in iran and worldwide and must be managed by non-chemical especially cultural methods. a field experiment as factorial based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in a 1000 m2 field in research farm of shirvan college of agriculture was conducted during 2007-2008. treatments included wheat densiti...

spatial patterns of soil fertility parameters, and other extrinsic factors need to be iden-tified to develop farming practices that match agricultural inputs with local crop needs. little is known about the spatial structure of yield and weed density across fields. in this study, geostatistics was used to describe and map spatial patterns of soil total nitrogen, available phosphorus, available ...

field experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of wheat residues and different densities of sunflower in weed control during 2007 growing season. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with three replications. the experiment was set up in factorial arrangement, amount of 0, 1250, 2500, 3750, 5000 kg ha-1 of wheat residue and burning of residue (5000 kg ha-1) were the lev...
