abstract to evaluate the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on competitive ability of canola against wild mustard interference, a split plot trial based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications was carried out. experimental treatment were amounts of nitrogen fertilizer of urea (46% nitrogen) in 4 levels (100, 150, 200 and 250 kgn/ha) and 5 wild mustard densities ...

White mustard plant (Sinapis alba L.) is an easy-to-grow species with low soil requirements and often sown as a catch crop in Northern Europe to reduce nitrate leaching, especially during the winter. There are studies showing high nutritional value of seeds, which have wide application, mainly food production. Still little known about young shoots or plants different cultivars white mustard, al...

Abstract The aim of the study was to examine interspecific plant interactions that contribute nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) acquisition are likely reason for overyielding in intercropping. We conducted a field rhizobox experiment with same soil. Maize ( Zea mays L.) grown alone or intercropped companions faba bean Vicia L.), soy Glycine max (L.) Merr.), blue lupin Lupinus angustifolius white ...

A new method is described for studying the metabolism of air-dry seeds. An initial pulse of (14)CO(2) was supplied to seeds maintained in air at controlled low water potentials for 6 months. Seeds were also infiltrated with 2-(14)C-acetate and with (14)C-l-leucine at 0 C, redried rapidly at 0 C, and maintained at controlled low water potentials for 4 to 6 weeks. The metabolism of the air-dry se...

Studies on chemical ecology of host plant selection by herbivores were largely carried out to explain the diversity of secondary plant chemicals and host specialisation of herbivores. The glucosinolate – isothiocyanate system in Brassicaceae plants was considered as a plant defence and was known to influence the feeding behaviour of phytophagous insects such as the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne br...

Herbicide, Diphenyl Ether, Peroxidation, Antioxidants Measurements of ethane and ethylene as indices o f in vivo lipid peroxidation and o f chemicallyinduced stress, respectively, were done on mustard seedlings (Sinapis alba), treated with oxyfluorfen[2-chloro-l-(3-ethoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene]. When seedlings were exposed to low light intensity o f 14 W /m 2, only stress-e...

The relationship between the amount of active phytochrome (Pfr) produced by 5-minute light pulses and the rate of subsequent enzyme accumulation (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, EC 4.3.1.5) of mustard (Sinapis alba L.) cotyledons was investigated. The response rapidly adjusts to changes of the Pfr level produced by light pulses of different wavelengths. Regardless of total phytochrome levels in th...
