چکیده

in the absence of herbicides, cover crops play an important role for weed management in organic than in conventional farming. therefore, in order to evaluate the effects of cover crop management and plant density of buckwheat (fagopyrum esculentum) as cover crop on weed suppression, a field experiment was conducted at the research farm of university of zanjan, during the growing season of 2011. the experimental design was a randomized complete block design on the factorial basis with three replications per treatment. the experiment included cover crop management (dead mulch and living mulch) and cover crop plant density (0, 36, 78, 100 plants m-2). a plot also assigned as weed free check (sunflower monocropping). it was observed that weed biomass significantly affected by buckwheat density (p≤0. 01). however, weed biomass did not affected by cover crop management. in other words, dead or living mulch had similar effects on weed biomass production. buckwheat as living and dead mulch reduced weed biomass up to 91% and 88%, respectively, compared with no cover crop plots (the density of zero). there was also a negative correlation between cover crop density and weed biomass. moreover, sunflower grain yield was also reduced with increasing buckwheat density from 36 to 100 plants m-2. buckwheat at the density of 36 plant m-2 significantly decreased the weed biomass and saved grain yield, indicating that using this plant as cover crop can be more cost-effective and more environment-friendlier than chemical weed control in sunflower.

EFFECT OF BEES-POLLINATORS IN BUCKWHEAT (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) CROPS

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of bee pollination of buckwheat crops on the seed productivity and plant development. Six plots each 4 m2 in size were arranged in a buckwheat field. Four plots in the field were isolated by a net. Nucs with bees were placed in two of the plots (one per plot). Plant productivity, height of plants and number of branches per marked plant...

Seed-specific Aspartic Proteinase Feap12 from Buckwheat (fagopyrum Esculentum Moench)

Aspartic proteinase gene (FeAP12) has been isolated from the cDNA library of developing buckwheat seeds. Analysis of its deduced amino acid sequence showed that it resembled the structure and shared high homology with typical plant aspartic proteinases (AP) characterized by the presence of a plant-specific insert (PSI), unique among APs. It was shown that FeAP12 mRNA was not present in the leav...

Composition And Functional Properties Of Common Buckwheat (Fagopyrum Esculentum Moench) Flour And Starch

Buckwheat, a pseudo cereal, is an alternative crop belonging to the family Polygonaceae. Buckwheat is generally grouped with cereals due to similarity in cultivation and utilization though it is not cereal grain. Two types of buckwheat are used around the world: common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) depending on the production zone. Generally...
