in order to study the yield and forage quality of intercropping barley (hordeum vulgare) and mustard (sinapis alba) in different planting dates, a factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with three replications was carried out at farm research station, gonbad -e- qabus university. factors were included as three planting dates (15 november, 6 and 20 december 2006) and fo...

The sensitivity of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] main stem node accrual to ambient temperature has been documented in greenhousegrown plants but not with fi eld-grown plants in the north-central United States. Biweekly V-node and R-stage, stem node number, internode length, and other traits were quantifi ed in an irrigated split-plot, four-replicate, randomized complete block experiment cond...

Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)) can be a pest in organic onion production on Prince Edward Island. This study was to examine the effect of planting time and variety on infestation levels and damage by onion thrips on cabbage (Brassicae oleracea capitala (L.)). A field site was planted with 2 main and 8 lesser varieties of cabbage over 4 planting dates. Some varie...

introduction bean (vicia faba l.) has the great old history of crop cultivation to date would be pushed back to a fairly long day plant, resistant to frost and cool season crop and up to 5 degrees celsius tolerated. bean prefers wet and cold conditions. excessive heat may cause fetal growth problems, loss and reduce the number of seeds per pod bean flowers to the growth of plant and fruit set o...

ett, 1999), planted early and at low populations; thus, relying on the sorghum hybrid to adapt to the growing Typical planting recommendations for dryland grain sorghum [Sorconditions by tillering. Research by Jones and Johnson ghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in the southern High Plains are to delay (1991, 1997) demonstrated that the optimum planting date, until soil water is adequate for crop establ...

The incorporation of a rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop into the soil prior to planting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has been shown to restrict damage caused by root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood). A greenhouse study was conducted to determine the duration of the effectiveness of rye decomposition in controlling root-knot nematode damage in relation to th...

this research was conducted to evaluate the role of drought stress and planting dates on seeds vigour and seedling growth of produced seeds. the experiment was performed in the research field and seed technology laboratory of the department of agronomy and plant breeding, college of aboureyhan in pakdasht in spring 2008. five canola cultivars including licord, opera, modena, elite, sarigol (in ...

The effects of three harvesting dates; 120 150 and 180 days after planting (DAP) and four potassium fertilizer levels; 0, 48, 72 and 96 Kg K2O fed -1 , on vegetative growth characteristics, tuber yield potential and quality of Jerusalem artichoke (cv. Balady) were studied. Two field experiments were conducted during the two successive summer seasons of 2001 and 2002 at the Experimental station ...
