today, due to the problems caused by herbicide application, there is a strong interest in developing alternative methods of weed control. to study the effects of soil solarization, barley straw mulch on weed flora, a field experiment was conducted at research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad during the growing season of 2007-2008. this experiment was based on a ...

velvetleaf (abutilon theophrasti) is one of the most important weeds of soybean fields in golestan province. a field experiment was conducted in gorgan agricultural research station in 2007 to determine the critical period for velvetleaf control in williams soybean (glycine max (l.) merr.) cultivar using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. treatments were included two sets o...

Returns of an individual enterprise in the short term are usually measured through a gross margin budget, which is determined by subtracting factors such as the cost of weed control (both herbicide and non-herbicide) and other inputs (eg seed and fertiliser) from gross income (calculated as crop yield multiplied by grain price). Crop yield is directly influenced by weed density, which itself is...

Soybean field experiments were performed to investigate the weed-suppressing effects of different tillage systems and cover crop mulches at two locations in southwest Germany during 2014 and 2015. The influence of three different tillage systems on weed control efficacy, soybean plant density, and crop yield was determined. In the no-till system (NT), two different cover crops, (rye and barley)...
