the effects of integrated weed management on weed density, yield and net return in potato production

Evaluation of Microbial Biomass and Soil Carbon as Well as Weed Parameters on Potato Production Affected Different Weed Management

BACKGROUND: Application of plant mulches plays a significant role in development and expansion of sustainable farming systems. OBJECTIVES: Assessment effect of chemical and non-chemical weeds management methods on weeds density and biomass and the properties of soil, including microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and soil organic carbon (SOC) in potato cultivation. ...

Integrated Weed Management in Potato Using Straw Mulch and Atrazine

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is one of fourmajor food crops in the world. Weed control is a major component in potato production and has been accomplished using different methods, including but not limited to the use of herbicides and straw mulch. A combination of preemergence herbicide and straw mulch may improve weed control; however, no information is available for combining both methods, alon...

Evaluating the Integrated Effect of Herbicide Band Application and Cultivation on Weed Control and Yield of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

To evaluate the effect of herbicide band application and cultivator on weed control, yield and yield components of potato, an experiment was conducted using factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications at Research Field of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran during 2015. Experimental factors included cultivator at two levels (with and w...

True integrated weed management

Using the simplest of definitions, integrated weed management has been described as “putting components [of weed control] together, not taking them apart.” Yet, weed science has stopped at the “field edge” in assembling the components into a truly integrated approach. What is keeping weed scientists from developing real integrated weed control regardless of space and time? The answer to this qu...

the effects of integrated management on yield, yield components and weed control of bean

introduction bean is one of the most important legumes worldwide for direct human consumption and is a rich source of protein and carbohydrates. bean is weak to compete with weed because of the retard growth at the early stages. therefore, weed control at this time plays an important role to gain high priduction. yield crop depends on weed number, and size after germination. weed control depend...
