this experiment was conducted for three consecutive years from 2000 to 2002 to evaluate the effects of integrated weed management on weeds of alfalfa at the safi abad agricultural research farm of dezful. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with strip-split plot arrangement of treatments. herbicide treatment was as horizontal factor at five levels which in 2000, consisted of...

to study the effects of below leaves excision and nitrogen application on stomatal characteristics of wheat flag leaf, grain protein, dry matter remobilization, grain yield and yield component, leaf area of winter wheat (t. aestivum cv. ghods) was artificially reduced under filed condition. the experimental design was a factorial on a rcb with 3 replications, a combination of three levels of de...

To assess the effect of non chemical management of weed control on forage Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) a field study was conducted in Varamin, Iran during 2010 crop year in a three- replicated- split factorial experiment laid out in randomized complete block design with four weeding levels (W1= one time cultivation at 3-leaf stage using a duck foot cultivator, W2<...

in this regard, the morphophysiologic and anatomic characteristics of six olive cultivars (nabali, feshomi, arbequin, zard, gordal and roghani) were investigated under drought. experiments were designed based on factorial and complete block random plot with two control treatments, -1.5 mpa stress and three replicates. the investigated factors were as follows: leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Leaf longevity is controlled by the light gradient in the canopy and also by the nitrogen (N) sink strength in the plant. Stand density may influence leaf dynamics through its effects on light gradient and on plant growth and reproduction. This study tests the hypothesis that the control by the light gradient is manifested more in the vegetative period, whereas the opposite ...

proper application of n fertilizer and its optimization for increasing the economic yield of rice is definitely important. in order to determine the best n application method and amount according to growth stages of hybrid rice, an experiment was carried out at experimental farm of rrii in a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. the treatments inc...

to evaluate the effect of combined use of weeds control an different mechanical methods on weeds number and dry weight in cotton , a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted at the region of boshruyeh in 2012. experimentals factors were tillage methods as main-plots with three levels, including conventional tillage, no-till system and minimum tillage; and di...

introduction major cultivated cotton regions of iran are located in dry and semiarid climates, therefore water deficiency or drought stress is inseparable part of cotton production systems in these regions. so identification and introduction of drought tolerant cotton genotypes is crucial. showed that water stress decreased plant growth rate, leaf area and finally photosynthesis in cotton. in a...
