bean root rot caused by plant pathogenic fungus, fusarium solani, is considered one of the most important diseases of bean in the world and in iran. because of economic importance of bean and the lack of information on population diversity of the pathogen in zanjan province, a research was conducted to study phenotypic, genotypic and pathogenicity variation of pathogen isolates and to assess pa...

to evaluate the yield and quality of barley (hordeum vulgare)–vetch (vicia desycarpa) intercropping, a series of experiments were conducted at the experimental field of the college of agriculture, university of tehran, in karaj (iran) from 2003 to 2005. the ex-periments were arranged in a randomized complete block with a split plot design and four replications. three levels (0, 45 and 90 kg n h...

introduction weed infestation causes an extremely reduction of crops yield. on the other hand, increasing the diversity of crops in agro-ecosystems will change the biomass distribution of weeds community, thereby reducing the number and density of different weed species. weed management in the past few decades has been in conflict with ecological principles and sustainability of the production ...

in order to study the possibility of intercropping of basil and sesame, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during growing season of 2009-2010. treatments consisted of different planting ratio, p1: sole cropping of basil, p2: 75% basil+ 25% sesame, p3: 50% basil+ 50 % sesam...

Intercropping is the simultaneous cultivation of more than one crop species on the same piece of land and is regarded as the practical application of basic ecological principles such as diversity, competition and facilitation. Field experiments were carried out on a sandy loam soil and a sandy soil in Denmark over three consecutive cropping seasons including dual grain legume (pea, faba bean an...

The relative affinities ufeondensed tannins purilied from sorghum, pinto bean, quebracho and wattle for six dissimilar protins have been determined by a competitive binding assay. The results indicate that tannin/protein interactions may be specific for different tanains as well as for different proteins. The highly specific interactions suggest that the differences in affinity are functionally...

The social and economic burden caused by chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer is enormous. To reduce the impact of these diseases, we must find ways to reduce their prevalence. Epidemiological studies have found links between the incidence of cancer and consumption of dry edible bean {Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in the human diet. Correa (1981) examined data from 41 ...

The intercropping of two or more crop species on the same piece land at a given time has been hypothesized to enhance yield stability. To address this hypothesis, we assessed grain stability various barley-pea and wheat-faba bean mixtures grown in seven experimental field trials (locations) across Europe during years with contrasting weather (2017 2018). Three different measures were used, all ...
