چکیده
ABSTRACT Vegetable cultivation requires high water use and weed control. Soil cover using recycled paper, can be an alternative to polyethylene film reduce incidence, soil temperature increase efficiency beyond reduces costs environmental pollutions. The objective of this study was evaluate the biodegradable mulch in management (WUE) lettuce crop. treatments were composed brown paper (RP), black (PF) without with removal (WR) (WW). RP PF efficient control weeds. 8.2 2.1ºC lower than WR, respectively. yield 14.5 28.3% higher PF, volume applied 26.5% lower, WUE 55.6% compared WR. controlled weeds, reduced consumption increased

Effects of film mulch and soil pesticides on nematodes, weeds, and yields of vegetable crops.
Field plots in Tifton loamy sand were treated with various soil pesticides in 1973 and 1974 and either left exposed or covered with biodegradable flint mulch. Test crops were cantaloup, slicing and pickling cucumber, squash, and sweet corn. Overhead sprinkler irrigation was used in 1973, and trickle irrigation under the film mulch was used on sweet corn in 1974. Soil was assayed for nematodes, ...
متن کاملDetermination and Evaluation of Potential Water Use Efficiency and Comparative Advantage of Major Irrigated Crops in Several Provinces of Iran
There are new technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS) that can be effective in the optimization of irrigation water. Therefore, utilizing these resources in a desirable, effective and efficient manner to ensure sustainable development is one of the most important issues in the today's world. The aim of this study was to determine and evaluate the potential water use efficiency...
متن کاملHerbicide Resistant Weeds and Crops
Modern herbicidal weed control often exploits physiological differences among plants and takes advantage of herbicide tolerance or resistance in crop plants to bring about the selective removal of susceptible weeds. The Weed Science Society of America defines herbicide tolerance as “the inherent ability of a plant to survive and reproduce after herbicide treatment” which suggests that herbicide...
متن کاملGenetic Control of Water and Nitrate Capture and Their Use Efficiency in Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)
Robustness in lettuce, defined as the ability to produce stable yields across a wide range of environments, may be associated with below-ground traits such as water and nitrate capture. In lettuce, research on the role of root traits in resource acquisition has been rather limited. Exploring genetic variation for such traits and shoot performance in lettuce across environments can contribute to...
متن کاملRational Water and Nitrogen Management Improves Root Growth, Increases Yield and Maintains Water Use Efficiency of Cotton under Mulch Drip Irrigation
There is a need to optimize water-nitrogen (N) applications to increase seed cotton yield and water use efficiency (WUE) under a mulch drip irrigation system. This study evaluated the effects of four water regimes [moderate drip irrigation from the third-leaf to the boll-opening stage (W1), deficit drip irrigation from the third-leaf to the flowering stage and sufficient drip irrigation thereaf...
