Weeds compete with crops and are hard to differentiate identify due their similarities in color, shape, size. In this study, the weed species present sorghum (sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) fields, such as amaranth (Amaranthus macrocarpus), pigweed (Portulaca oleracea), mallow (Malva sp.), nutgrass (Cyperus rotundus), liver seed grass (Urochoa panicoides), Bellive (Ipomea plebeian), were discrimi...

greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to examine the allelopathic effects of water extracts of pigweed (amaranthus retroflexu l.) leaf, stem, root and flower at different growth stages on canola seed germination and seedling growth. water extracts of leaf, stem, root and flower as individually, binary, ternary and quadri mixtures at 0, 50 and 100% concentrations were made and their e...

in order to examine the multi-species weed competition in corn field an experiment as an interval mapping was carried out at the agricultural research field of ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season 2009-2010. at 3-4 leafy stages of corn, 20 non-destructive quadrates determine and the density of weeds was counted separately. at the same time, 20 destructive quadrates determine and...

The Amaranthaceae family is composed of about 180 genera and 2500 species. These common weeds have become increasingly relevant as triggers of allergy in the last few years, as they are able to rapidly colonize salty and arid soils in extensive desert areas. The genera Chenopodium, Salsola, and Amaranthus are the major sources of pollinosis from the Amaranthaceae family in southern Europe, west...

abstract leaving crop residues on the soil surface may significantly affect the behavior and activity of herbicides. to probe this effect, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted using two factors including different rates of wheat surface residue (0, 1250, 2500 and 3750 kg ha-1 ) and different rates of trifluralin (%48 ec) herbicide (7...

About one-third of the earth’s land area consists acidic soils. The rhizotoxic Al3+ is one primary constraints associated with low soil pH. Various Amaranthus species are important components weed flora in tea plantations on acid soils north Iran. In this study, four (A. blitoides, A. retroflexus, cruentus, and tricolor) were grown under hydroponic conditions total Al concentrations 0, 20, 50, ...

heavy metals such as cadmium mainly enter in the environment and ecosystem as a result of human activities. this study was conducted in order to evaluate the ability of bacterial inoculants to enhance efficiency of phytoextraction in a calcareous soil. three plants (amaranthus retroflexus, helianthus annus and medicago sativa), along with three levels of inoculants and four levels of cd were ev...

in order to identify and determine weed population in sugar beet fields, 92 fields from five counties of kermanshah province in iran were selected and evaluated at two growing stages (early may and late september) in 2014. the weed population indices were calculated by counting the number of weeds separated on othe basis of genus and species. for all fields, the latitude, longitude and altitude...
