Potato crop growth as affected by nitrogen and plant density

Changes in weed seed banks and the potato yield as affected by different amounts of nitrogen and crop residue

In order to evaluate the impact of crop residues (zero, 25 and 50%) and nitrogen (zero, 125 and 250 kg ha) on weed seed bank and potato yield, two-years research was conducted as a split plot arranged in randomized complete block design in Rozveh Agriculture Research Station, Freidan-Esfahan. Numbers of weed species in seed bank, aboveground, and both seed bank and aboveground were 1, 2 and...

Growth and nitrogen content of sunflower as affected by the rate and form of nitrogen

Legume Growth and Nitrogen Fixation as Affected by Plant Competition for Light and for Soil Nitrogen'

395 ABSTRACT Since the legume responses to environmental factors may be different in grass mixtures than in pure stands, a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of plant top and root competition on the growth and N fixation of Desmodium intortum, cv. ‘Greenleaf’ grown in association with Setaria anceps, cv. 'Nandi' The plants were grown in deep, narrow pots which provided for ± t...

Sunflower summer-planting yield as affected by plant population and nitrogen application rates

Sunflower morphology and yield as affected by foliar applications of plant growth regulators

Plant height of sunflower is a major agronomic trait affecting crop performance in the field and its adaptation to mechanical harvest. Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of foliar application of paclobutrazol (PBZ) at 12.5 g ai/ha, mepiquat chloride (MPC) at 25.0 g ai/ha and chlormequat chloride (CCC) at 1,500 g ai/ha in single or double applications on sunflower plant mor...
