crop residue is a non-chemical method of weed control in agricultural sustainable systems. this research was conducted at the alarogh site of ardabilto evaluate the effect of integrated use of mulch and herbicide on weed emergence and growth in potato in 2007. treatments were four levels herbicide including: (1) paraquat [n,n'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride] herbicide as pre-pl...

Abstract Water stress and weed competition are critical stressors during corn ( Zea mays L.) development. Genetic improvements in have resulted hybrids with greater tolerance to abiotic biotic stressors; however, drought remains problematic. Therefore, light of the anticipated change precipitation throughout Great Lakes Region, greenhouse experiments were conducted evaluate water on drought-tol...

In anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD), amended with a carbon source undergoes conditions accompanied by changes in microbial community composition and an increase the concentration of organic acids, primarily acetic butyric gases that are deleterious to plant pathogens, insects, potentially weeds. The purpose this study was explore efficacy ASD different sources on inactivation propagules vari...

in order to determine the critical period of weed control (cpwc) in corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete blocks design with 14 treatments and three replications during 2013 growing season in the nahavand climatic conditions. two series of the treatments including weed-free and weed-infested were applied in the regular time distances of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 an...

in order to investigate the possibility of reducing herbicide usage in combination with plant density and planting pattern, a field experiment was designed in chenaran, khorasan razavi, on 2010. the experiment was split plot treatments based on rcbd with three replications in factorial arragement. the treatments included of 3 level of plant density (100000, 120000 and 140000 plants ha-1) and 2 ...

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...

introduction sustainability of agricultural systems may improve due to intercropping as a result of diversity increasing. marigold (calendula officinalis) is a major medicinal plant from asteraceae family, though weeds suppress it because of lower competitiveness against weeds. mungbean (vigna radiata) is a pulse crop from fabaceae family and is one of the major nutritive sources especially in ...
