intercropping may be helpful manner to increase interception and utilization. the aim of this study was to compare radiation use efficiency and radiation interception in intercropping with sole cropping. an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad in the growing season of the year 2008. the experimental treatments were: 1- sole crop of bean 2...

the experiment was conducted in order to evaluate of competitive and economic indices in canola and pea intercropping at different rates of nitrogen fertilizer at shahrekord university research farm during 1390 - 1391. intercropping and sole cropping treatments (100% canola; 66% canola + 33% pea, 50% canola + 50% pea; 33% canola + 66% pea; 100% pea) were evaluated as the first factor and nitrog...

intercropping is a correct method of management for crop production and leads to improvement of resource absorption and use by plants. in order to evaluate light interception and some characteristics of canopy in monocropping and intercropping of maize (zea mays l.) and faba bean (vicia faba l.) under climatic conditions of tabriz, a field experiment was conducted in 2006-2007 at the research s...

in order to investigate the weed diversity and modeling light interception in sole and intercropping millet and bean an experiment was conducted as complete randomized block design with 4 treatments and 4 replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2008. treatments included monocultures, intercropping of millet and bean and a control treatment...

plant dry matter accumulation has a linear relation with accumulative photosynthetically active radiation (par). intercropping could be a strategy for increasing light absorption in agronomic systems and it may improve radiation use efficiency (rue). thus this study was conducted in order to evaluate radiation absorption and use efficiency in potato (solanum tuberosum l.) –corn (zea mays l.) in...

Intercropping leek (Allium porrum L.) and celery (Apium graveolens L.) was recognized as an option to reduce growth and reproductive potential of weeds while maintaining yield and product quality of both crops on a high level. To optimise the intercropping system for yield, quality and weed suppression a combined use of mechanistic and descriptive models, together with experimental work, was ap...

In maize-soybean intercropping system, soybean plants will be affected by the wide light-fluctuation, which resulted from the shading by maize plants, as the shading of maize the light is not enough for soybean in the early morning and late afternoon, but at noon, the light is strong as the maize shading disappeared. The objective of this study is to evaluate the photosynthetic response of soyb...

in order to study the effects of cropping systems and mulch application in relay intercropped styrian pumpkin (cucurbita pepo l.) with chickpea (cicer arietinum l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during growing s...
