Managing production environments in ways that promote weed community diversity may enhance both crop production and the development of a more sustainable agriculture. This study analyzed data of productivity of maize (corn) and soybean in plots in the Main Cropping System Experiment (MCSE) at the W. K. Kellogg Biological Station Long-Term Ecological Research (KBS-LTER) in Michigan, USA, from 19...

in order to study the effect of row spacing and plant density on quantity and quality yield of soybean in weed competitive condition, a field experiment was carried out at research farm of yasuj agricultural college in summer of 2011. experiment arrangement was split factorial base on randomized complete block design with three replication. the main factor included weed ( in two levels of contr...

In order to evaluate the impact of crop residues (zero, 25 and 50%) and nitrogen (zero, 125 and 250 kg ha) on weed seed bank and potato yield, two-years research was conducted as a split plot arranged in randomized complete block design in Rozveh Agriculture Research Station, Freidan-Esfahan. Numbers of weed species in seed bank, aboveground, and both seed bank and aboveground were 1, 2 and...

in order to determine the critical period of weed control and investigation the effect of periodical control and interference of weeds natural population on yield and yield components of winter canola (brassica napus l. cv. okapi) in west region of tehran an experiment was carried out at research field of tarbiat modarres university, tehran, iran on 2004-5 growing season. fourteen experimental ...

abstract in order to study of chemical and mechanical weed management methods and their integration in potato (solanum tuberosum), a field experiment was done in 2008 at ferdowsi university of mashhad research field. experimental design was completely randomize block design with 6 treatments and 3 replications. treatment included broadcast herbicide application (standard treatment), between row...

Use of efficient methods of weed control with as regards environmental sustainability as well as increased crop yield and also weed resistance to herbicides is essential. In order to, an experiment was conducted in 2012 in the Damavand jaban in Iran. Experiment treatments were compared in a split plot design by a randomized completely block design with 3 replication. The used variety of maize w...

abstract use of empirical competition models is one of approaches in integrated weed management strategies. in order to investigation of this approach in simulation of yield loss of bean (phaseolus vulgari. l.) caused by jimson weed (datura stramonium l.) interference, an experiment was conducted in national bean research station, in khomein, in 2007. the experiment design was randomized comple...

No-till cropping is an option for growers needing to reduce soil erosion in the Palouse annual-cropped region of the Pacific Northwest, which is well suited for wheat production. A 6-yr field study was conducted to determine optimum levels of fertilizer and herbicide inputs in a no-till continuous wheat crop production system. Three levels of nitrogen (N) and two weed management levels (WML) we...

Twelve field trials were conducted over a three-year period (2010, 2011, 2012) at different locations in southwestern Ontario, Canada to compare various two-pass weed management strategies in glyphosate-resistant corn for crop injury, weed control, environmental impact, corn yield and profit margin. No visible injury resulted from the herbicide treatments evaluated. One early postemergence (EPO...

introduction lentil (lens culinaris medik.) is an important legume in the mediterranean area. high protein content in lentil seed (about 22-28%) makes it as a good food source for developing countries and low-income people. in the west of iran such as kermanhah province, it is the most important pulse in rainfed systems cultivated traditionally in rotation with wheat and barley. lentil is grown...
