this experiment was set to study the allelopatic effect of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of artemisia, coriander, eucalyptus and cumin on growth of red root pigweed and lambsquarters weeds at laboratory and field in the university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2008. the herbal plant samples were ground and powdered for extraction preparation, and were mixed with distilled water in a beaker. the ex...

in order to study of use advantage in the intercropping system fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill) and fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum l) in different ratios of intercropping and sole cropping, an experiment with use replacement and additive intercropping based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the research station of faculty of agriculture, universi...

in order to effects of fertilizer source and intercropping ratios on macronutrients concentration and uptake of fenugreek and black cumin, a factorial experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at shahrekord university research farm in 2013. sole cropping of fenugreek (f) and sole cropping of black cumin (b) and three intercropping ratios (f:b 2:1, f:b ...

A long term study was done to assess the impact of on farm reservoirs (OFR) on oil seedand cereal based cropping systems with vegetables (okra, tomato and carrot) in semi-aridalfisol of southern Telangana region. Two supplemental irrigation (SI) depths (30 and 50 mm)from OFR with raingun system were studied for assessing the water productivity andprofitability of the technology in these croppin...

Introduction Phenolic compounds are important phytonutrients that are ubiquitously distributed throughout the plant kingdom. These compounds are associated with the sensory and nutritional quality of fresh and processed plant foods. Several varieties of dry beans {Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varying in seed shape, size, and color are consumed throughout the world primarily as an important source of ...

to investigate the effects of intercropping of basil (ocimum basiilicum l.) and cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.), different levels of nitrogen fertilizers on basil and cowpea yield, an experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2011. experimental factor were included weed treatment (weeding and unweeding), three levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50 and 100 kg ha-1), different planting ratio, (p1: ...

introduction sustainability of agricultural systems may improve due to intercropping as a result of diversity increasing. marigold (calendula officinalis) is a major medicinal plant from asteraceae family, though weeds suppress it because of lower competitiveness against weeds. mungbean (vigna radiata) is a pulse crop from fabaceae family and is one of the major nutritive sources especially in ...

The purpose of this paper was to estimate and to evaluate the hydration curves of three kinds of dry bean varieties (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), besides adjusting the Peleg’s model to the experimental values under several soaking temperatures. Bean seeds of pinto, black and red kidney varieties were soaked in distilled water in the temperatures of 20, 30, 40 and 50 °C. The constant C1 (Peleg rate c...
