Combinations of winter and fall cover crops were evalu­ ated for the management of plant-parasitic nematodes. The winter cover crops examined were rye (Secale cereale) and narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) and the fall cover crops were soybean (Glycine max), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), sorghum-sudangrass (Sor­ ghum bicolor x S. sudanense), sun hemp (Crotalaria juncea), and corn (Zea m...

Substantial reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita on winter cover crops may lead to damaging populations in a subsequent cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) crop. The amount of population increase during the winter depends on soil temperature and the host status of the cover crop. Our objectives were to quantify M. incognita race 3 reproduction on rye (Secale cereale) and several leguminous cover crops...

Two experiments were conducted in north-central Florida to examine the effects of various winter cover crops on plant-parasitic nematode populations through time. In the first experiment, six winter cover crops were rotated with summer corn (Zea mays), arranged in a randomized complete block design. The cover crops evaluated were wheat (Triticum aestivum), rye (Secale cereale), oat (Avena sativ...

Winter cover crops have the potential to increase soil organic C in the corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotation in the upper Midwest. Management effects on soil C, however, are often difficult to measure because of the spatial variation of soil C across the landscape. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of oat (Avena sativa L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), ...

to evaluate the effect of cover crops, tillage systems and nitrogen (n) application rates on yield of forage sorghum (cv. kfs3), a factorial–spilt plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at the research farms college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran, karaj, during the growing seasons of years 2005 and 2006. comb...

The yield of rainfed crops is commonly limited by the availability of soil water during the summer growing season. Channels produced by cover crop roots in fall/winter when soils are relatively moist may facilitate the penetration of compacted soils by subsequent crop roots in summer when soils are relatively dry and hard. Our objective was to determine the effects of fall cover crops on maize ...

 In order to evaluate the effects of cover crops on reduced weed biomass in hybrid sunflower an experiment was carried in the research stations, Natural Resources Medicinal Plants (Samian_Ardabile) with 3 replicates in 1390-1391. The first factor was considered three type of cover crops, winter rye, spring barley, winter wheat with 2 control treatment, second factor was mulch management at two ...

now a day winter cover crops planting has been attended to reduce herbicide application. an experiment was carried out at the research farm of agriculture faculty, bu- ali sina, university, in 2009. the experiment was a randomized complete block design with three replications. the trial included of five treatments consists of no cover crop, rye, winter oilseed rape, barley and triticale. the re...
