in order to investigate the effect of crop row spacing and cocklebur (xanthium strumarium) densities on height, leaf area index and total dry matter of two sesame cultivars, a field experiment was conducted in 2009-2010 growing season at research farm of university of agricultural sciences and natural resources of gorgan, iran. the experiment was established as factorial arrangement using a ran...

Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape (MCL) woody vegetation was characterized to establish structural and compositional attributes. Stratified random sampling based on major soil types was used and nine plant variables were measured in 137(20x30) m2 sampling plots; these being genera, species and family names; basal circumference; plant height; depth and diameter of tree canopy; number of s...

Hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA; Adelges tsugae) infestations have resulted in the continuing decline of eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) throughout much of the eastern United States. While the initial impacts of HWA infestations have been documented, our understanding of forest response to this disturbance remains incomplete. HWA infestation is not occurring in isolation but within a complex eco...

in this research corn were planted in 3 densities (8, 12, 16 plant/m2) in two planting patterns (single and double-row) with seven summer weed species, including redroot pigweed, green foxtail, annual bluegrass, common lambsquarter, jimsonweed, black nightshade and johnsongrass were planted. temperature, quality and quantity of light reaching to soil surface were measured and the number of emer...

In the solar photosphere the magnetic field of magnetic elements and sunspots is known to expand with height. In the case of sunspots this expansion is known to be very rapid, with the field forming an almost horizontal canopy. In this contribution we present new results on the superpenumbral canopy of sunspots based on fits to Stokes I and V profiles of infrared spectral lines. The new models ...
