for continues production if field crops in arid and semi arid regions of the world, such as iran, beside of using of drought resistant varieties, water management must also be considered. in this context, the use of tape drip irrigation system could reduce the amount of irrigation water consumption. this study, was conducted to determine the best sowing pattern of sugar beet under type drip irr...

spreading faba bean (vicia faba) cultivation can enhance the sustainability of cropping systems and have other important benefits. however, there is little information on the various aspects of production management for this crop. then, this experiment was carried out to study the response of some agronomic characteristics of faba bean cv barakat to inter- (15, 30, 45 and 60 cm) and intra-row (...

This paper employed the endogenous switching regression and propensity score matching methods to analyse the impact of row-planting technology on rice productivity using 470 rice farms in Northern Ghana. The empirical findings showed that the adoption of row-planting technology exerted greater positive impact on rice yields of smallholder farmers. In addition, rice yields of adopters and non-ad...

introduction cultivation of medicinal plants in agricultural ecosystems plays an important role in the diversification and sustainability of these systems (rezaei-chiyaneh & dabbagh mohammadi nassab, 2014). therefore, the application of ecological principles such as multi-ship system seems essential in the production of these plants. zarifpour et al. (2014) in intercropping arrangements of cumi...

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 ...
