in order to evaluate the effects of crop cultivars and living mulchon sunflower yield and weed control, a field experiment was carried out as factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2013. treatements were sunflower cultivars (‘azargol’, ‘allstar’, ‘farokh’) and weed control treatments (weed-free, weed-infestation and intercropping of fagopyru...

In this study, grains of two buckwheat species: Fagopyrum esculentum (IC37309) and Fagopyrum tataricum (var. himpriya) were phytochemically investigated for their nutritional, and antioxidant potential for their use as functional foods. Methanolic extracts of grains of two Fagopyrum species showed higher phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spec...

The genus Fagopyrum (Polygonaceae), currently comprising 15 species of plants, includes three important buckwheat species: Fagopyrum esculentum (F. esculentum) Moench. (common buckwheat), Fagopyrum tataricum (F. tataricum) (L.) Gaertn. (tartary buckwheat) and Fagopyrum dibotrys (F. dibotrys) (D. Don) Hara. (perennial buckwheat), which have been well explored due to their long tradition of both ...

The spatial variation in plant species associated with intercropping is intended to reduce resource competition between species and increase yield potential. A field experiment was carried out on corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) intercropping in a replacement series experiment with weed contamination consist of: weed free, infestation of redroot pigweed, infestation of jimsonweed...

Buckwheat is a multipurpose crop used for both grains and greens and known to have several medicinal and nutritional properties. Buckwheat contains flavonoids such as rutin, anthocyanins, catechins, chlorogenic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzoic acid, caffeic acid, epicatechins, p-courmaric acid, ferulic acid etc. Fagopyrum esculentum and Fagopyrum tataricum are the major source of flavonoid cal...

The genus Amaranthus contains 44 species and belongs to the family of Amaranthaceae classified within the order of Caryophyllales. Within this order a number of allergenic species including Amaranthus retroflexus (Redroot pigweed), Beta vulgaris (sugar beet), Chenopodium album (Lambsquaters), Kochia scoparia (Burning bush), and Salsola kali (Russian thistle) have been acknowledged by the WHO/IU...

Herbicides have been extensively used in agriculture but people have not concerned about its adverse effects on plants and animals. The aim of the present study is to analyze the detrimental effects of two herbicides in Fagopyrum esculentum Moench (Variety: VL-7). The root tips were treated with four concentrations viz. 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm of glyphosate and atrazine at room temperature for...
