Experiments were carried out in the laboratory and greenhouse to determine the growth inhibitory effects of Grassohopper's cyperus (Cyperus iria L.) on the seedlings of 5 Malaysian rice varieties namely MR211, MRQ74, MR220, MR84 and MR232. Three concentrations of the aqueous extract of the weed (12.5, 25.0 and 50.0 g/l) and weed debris (5, 10 and 20 g dry debris/1000 g soil) were used to test t...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is a dry pulse crop commonly used from old time. the chickpea yield is lower as compared to maximum potentials of the cultivars. the gap could mainly be attributed to the weed competition in addition to other production constraints. although chickpeas are traditionally grown on residual soil moisture, weeds competition pose major problem in many situations. in orde...

abstract to evaluate the effect of sowing date and weed interference on growth indices of red bean cultivars with different growth habit, a field experiment was carried out during the spring 2009 at university of zanjan as a factorial split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design, with three replications. main plots included factorial of three red bean cultivars (derakhshan (stand...

abstract- this experiment was carried out during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011 at the agricultural research farm of bu-ali sina university, to study the effect of weed competition on subsequent germination and seed vigour of chickpea. 12 weed interference durations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. experiments consisted of two sets of treatment...

in order to evaluate the impact of time of weed control on yield and yield components of two rapeseed cultivars (zarfam and opra) two separate experiments based on each cultivar conducted at shahryar (karaj). the experiment was carried out based on rcbd with three replications and six treatments for each cultivar. treatments were exerted on the different phenological growth stages including the...

To assess the effect of non chemical management of weed control on forage Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) a field study was conducted in Varamin, Iran during 2010 crop year in a three- replicated- split factorial experiment laid out in randomized complete block design with four weeding levels (W1= one time cultivation at 3-leaf stage using a duck foot cultivator, W2<...

We assessed the effects of cultivating two genetically modified (GM) glyphosate-tolerant soybean varieties (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) derived from Event 40-3-2 and a Japanese conventional variety on arthropods under field conditions, with weed control using glyphosate and conventional weed control for two years. Plant height and dry weight of the conventional variety were significantly larger tha...

geostatistical techniques were used to describe the spatial distribution of weeds, under conventional management conditions and theirs effect on wheat biomass production over the course of one growing season (2008-2009), in a wheat (triticum aestivum l.) field at research station of shahrood university, iran. weeds seedling were identified and counted at 121 points of field based on two interva...
