Abstract:

ABSTRACT- Crop residue is applied to amend soil properties and increase crop yield. In this study, the effects of rapeseed residues and different rates of nitrogen on grain yield and yield components of sunflower and weed dry matter were investigated. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, located at Badjgah, Shiraz, Iran in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 growing seasons. Treatments were nitrogen levels (150, 300 and 450 kg urea ha-1) as main plot and rates of residue rapeseed (25%, 50%, 75%) and without residues included weed free (R0) and weedy check (R1) as sub plot. The experimental design was a split plot based on randomized complete block in four replications. Results showed that the lowest weed biomass, highest grain yield and yield components of sunflower were obtained at 150 and 450 kg N ha-1, respectively. Compared to weedy conditions, the lowest weed biomass (2847.58 kg ha-1) and the highest yield (4087.67 kg ha-1) of sunflower were obtained at 75 and 25 % residue, respectively. Optimum rates of nitrogen fertilizer and rapeseed residue to guarantee maximum grain yield and optimum suppression of weeds were 450 kg ha-1and 25%, respectively. Generally, to increase sunflower yield and suppress weeds, it is recommended to integrate cultural practices with use of 450 kg urea ha-1 fertilizers and left over 25% of rapeseed residue, was the best treatment.

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...

Effect of deficit irrigation on seed yield and yield components of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrids

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of deficit irrigation on seed yield and its components of sunflower hybrids, and also identify tolerant hybrids. Twelve sunflower hybrids; Farrokh, Shams, Ghasem, Barzegar, G5 ×43, G6×43, Hysun25, Hysun36, Azargol, Sumbro, Euroflor and Sirena were evaluated under three irrigation treatments; normal irrigation (60 mm), mild drought stress (1...

Effect of Tannery Wastewater on the Growth and Yield of Sunflower (helianthus Annuus L.)

The effects of tanneries wastewater on growth and yield of three cultivars (SF-187, CRN-1435 and DK3915) of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) showed that wastewater was not fit for irrigation due to extremely high mineral and heavy metal contents. In addition, effluents were highly alkaline with high load in EC, BOD, COD and SAR values. The amount of iron, manganese, zinc and chromium was also q...

Combining ability analysis for seed yield and its components in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

Twenty four lines were crossed with two testers in an L x T mating design to estimate the combining ability for seed yield in sunflower. Non-additive genetic variance played a preponderant role in the inheritance of all the characters studied viz., days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, plant height, head diameter, volume weight, hundred seed weight and seed yield per plant. The lines 27, 43...

Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer and Plant Density on Growth Characteristics, Yield Components and Grain Yield of Rice

In order to investigate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer and plant density on the agronomic characteristics of rice cv. Tarom Hashemi, a field experiment was carried out as a randomized complete blocks design with three replications during 2018 and 2019 in a farm located in Sari, north of Iran. The present study consisted of 10 levels of plant density (hills m-2) and N fertilizer, named T1 (20...
