objective: for investigation of intercropping of maize and faba bean, an experiment was conducted in research station of agriculture faculty of tabriz university during growing season of 2013. methods: experimental design was randomized complete block design with three replications and seven treatment. treatments included one row intercropping (1:1), 4 strip intercropping pattern with ratios of...

background and objectivesintercropping or simultaneous growing of two or more crops on the same piece of land has the potential of enhanced ecosystem productivity. in a cereal-legume intercropping system, an increase in cereal and a decrease in legume intercrop yield is reported. several indices such as land equivalent ratio (ler), relative crowding coefficient (k), competitive ratio (cr), aggr...

introduction: increasing costs of herbicide inputs in intensive crop production systems and the incidence of herbicide resistance in weeds have renewed interest in exploiting crop competitiveness to reduced herbicide use. two factors contribute to crop competitiveness against weeds: ability to withstand competition (awc), or the ability to maintain high yields in the presence of weeds, and weed...

efficient use of natural and biological cycles such as nitrogen fixation by legumes may stimulate yield of non-legumes crops in an intercropped system. in order to evaluate spring barley (h) and annual alfalfa (m) intercropping, a study was conducted in the research field of university of tehran (located in karaj) during 2009-2010 growing season. in this research, a randomized complete block de...

Field experiments were conducted during 2017 and 2018 rainy seasons at the Kogi State Agricultural Development farm Karara (Lat. 8.230N, Long. 6.560E Alt. 343.00m) in State, Nigeria to investigates influence of different cropping patterns crop nutrient sources on yields Soybean-Maize intercrops. Treatment consisted two crops (Maize Soybean), fertilizer [Organic source (Poultry Manure) Mineral F...

Intercropping and biofertilizers application are the most important agricultural methods for moving towards minimizing risks of production increasing efficiency. Consequently, this experiment was conducted at one year in 2019. A factorial set treatments arranged within randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications to investigate effect different planting ratios safflower soybe...

increasing diversity and apply intercropping systems is one of approaches to control of weeds. to evaluate the effects of additive maize-bean intercropping on yield, yield components and weeds in zanjan conditions, a field study was conducted in a spilt plot with randomized complete block design in three replications at research farm of zanjan university in 2010. main plots were the different p...
