With the increasing pressure on crop production from the evolution of herbicide resistance, farmers are increasingly adopting Integrated Weed Management (IWM) strategies to augment their weed control. These include measures to increase the competitiveness of the crop canopy such as increased sowing rate and the use of more competitive cultivars. While there are data on the relative impact of th...

introduction climate change generally affect all economic sectors, but the agricultural sector is the most sensitive and vulnerable sector, because crops are highly dependent on climatic resource. according to the scientific evidences, climate change in the future, especially the combined effects of rising temperatures and rising co2 concentrations in the atmosphere and increase the likelihood ...

in order to evaluate the effects of sugar beet sowing date, planting density and cultivar on solar radiation interception, the present study was conducted in kamal-abad agricultural research station of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi) in 2005 and 2006. the experiment arranged was in split-split plots based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications. the sowing date, plan...

Current research was conducted during 2006 and 2007 cropping seasons to assessment the anatomy of the flag leaf and yield of rice in the Khuzestan province according split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Main plot included different sowing dates at three levels (5 May, 26 May and 16 June). Hoveizeh, Hamar (Heat tolerance), Ghermez Anbori, Champ...

to study the effect of sowing date and a single irrigation (si) on yield and yield components of barley, a field experiment was conducted in dryland agricultural research institute (maragheh, iran) in 2004-06 cropping seasons, using a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. main plots were assigned to 3 levels of sowing date (early, normal and late). sub-plot...
