effect of different input management on weed composition, diversity and density of corn field

in order to investigate the effects of input intensity on species diversity, composition and density of weeds in corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during the year 2009. treatments included low input, medium input and high input systems. low...

Ethanol Fermentation of Starch from Field Peas

Cereal Chem. 82(5):554-558 Field peas (Pisum salivum) were evaluated as a potential feedstock for ethanol production. Ground peas were dry-milled and separated into starch, protein, and fibrous fractions by air classification. Starch-enriched fractions prepared from whole peas and dehulled peas contained 73.717c wt and 77.8% wt starch, respectively, a nearly two-fold enrichment compared with wh...

Moving integrated weed management from low level to a truly integrated and highly specific weed management system using advanced technologies

Integrated weed management (IWM) is one of the most commonly referred to approaches for sustainable and effective weed control in agriculture, yet it is not widely practiced, likely because current IWM systems fail to meet performance expectations of growers. The effectiveness and value of IWM systems should increase with increasing application specificity and true integration made possible wit...
