this study was conducted in 2008 at the research field of university of tehran, karaj. the experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments were: atrazine 1kg/ha, alachlor 4kg/ha, atrazine+alachlor (1+4) kg/ha, nicosulfuron 80 g ai/ha, furamsulfuron 45g ai/ha, rimsulfuron 25g ai/ha, nicosulfuron+furamsulfuron (80+45) g ai/ha, nicosulfuron+rimsulf...

Japanese honeysuckle is rapidly increasing as a weed throughout most of the North Island and northern South Island of New Zealand. A classical biological control programme was initiated in 2004–2005 with a survey of the natural invertebrate fauna and pathogens associated with the weed in New Zealand. The honeysuckle was being attacked by a diverse range of native and introduced invertebrates. B...

in order to study the effects of different sowing dates by some of companion crops on the weeds control, morphological traits and yield of corn sc 504, a field experiment was carried out of research field at tabriz university during 2010 growing season. treatments were arranged in a factorial experiment using randomized complete blocks design with three replicatins. factors was include four lev...

abstract a field experiment was conducted at iranian plant protection research farm in karaj during 2009 to evaluate the effects of diffrent planting patterns, times of mechanical control and herbicides application on weeds density and biomass in sugar beet farms. the experimental design was split–split plot based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications. planting patte...

this experiment was arranged as a strip-plot on the base of a completely randomized block design with three replications to study the effect of tillage (whether in day or night or in day by light-proof cover) and application of reduced dosage of imazethapyr and trifluralin on weed control, yield and yield components of chickpea. main plots consisted of tillage methods and subplots consisted of ...

Producers are interested in tactics for managing crop residues when growing corn after spring wheat. We compared five systems of managing spring wheat residues: conventional tillage, no-till, strip-till, cover crop (hairy vetch) with no-till, and cover crop with strip-till following spring wheat. Conventional tillage consisted of chisel plowing and disking, whereas strip-till consisted of tilli...

Urena lobata is becoming a noxious and invasive weed in rangelands, pastures, and undisturbed areas in the Philippines. This study determined the effects of seed scarification, light, salt and water stress, amount of rice residue, and seed burial depth on seed germination and emergence of U. lobata; and evaluated the weed's response to post-emergence herbicides. Germination was stimulated by bo...

ABSTRACT- Crop residue is applied to amend soil properties and increase crop yield. In this study, the effects of rapeseed residues and different rates of nitrogen on grain yield and yield components of sunflower and weed dry matter were investigated. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, located at Badjgah, Shiraz, Iran in 2007-2008...

Weeds are a major constraint to the success of dry-seeded rice (DSR). The main means of managing these in a DSR system is through chemical weed control using herbicides. However, the use of herbicides alone may not be sustainable in the long term. Approaches that aim for high crop competitiveness therefore need to be exploited. One such approach is the use of high rice seeding rates. Experiment...

Weed competes with crops for water, nutrients and light so weed infestation is one of the major threats to crop. Present investigation was aimed to asses the comparative efficacy of different herbicides for weed management in wheat crop under agro-climatic conditions of Pakistan. This experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) design with five replications. Different h...
