in order to evaluate the effects of intercropping of maize- peanut, weeding and their planting design on weed population dynamics, an experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment in the form of rcbd with three replications at the research farm of agriculture center of zabol university (iran) in 2012. the treatments including sowing system in four levels as first factor  (sole maize, sole ...

Objective: An experiment was conducted at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center in the production season of 2013/14 and 2014/15 with the objective of identifying the best combination of intra and inter-row spacing for optimum plant population density of stevia. Methods: The experiment was conducted using five intra-row spacing (20cm, 25cm, 30cm, 35cm, and 40...

A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years (2003 and 2004) to study the effect of row spacing (75, 65 and 55cm) and different weed competition durations (0, 15,30,45,60 days after emergence and throughout the growth period) on weeds density and biomass and growth and yield of maize. Reducing row spacing significantly suppressed the weed density and biomass. The maximum reduction...

in order to study the response of new sugar beet hybrids and cultivars to curly top disease in the field conditions, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with four replications and sixteen treatments in 2007 in fasa. each plot included a hybrid or cultivar planted in three rows with eight meter length and 50cm between- row spacing. after weeding and first thinning...

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<...

equipment availability is necessary in the development of agriculture mechanization. crop thinning is one of the most important stages in row crop production which is laborious and costly. the objective of this project is design and construction of a row crop thinning machine. four main system units are plant sensors, ground sensors, control and thinning platforms. in this machine the unwanted ...

in order to study the sowing system, row distance and weeding effect on yield and yield components of intercropped maize with peanut, this experiment was conducted, as factorial based on a rcbd with three replications at the research farm of agriculture center of zabol university (iran) during growing season 2011- 2012. sowing system were four levels including sole maize, sole peanut, 50% maize...
