introduction the lentil or masoor (lens culinaris l.) is a brushy annual plant of the legume family, grown for its lens-shaped seeds. lentil has been one of the first crops domesticated in the near east. with 26% protein, lentil is the vegetable with the highest level of protein other than soybeans, and it is an important part of people’s diet in many parts of the world. it is reported that the...

to evaluate the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on growth indices and competitive ability of canola (brassica napus l.) against wild mustard (sinapis arvensis l.), a split plot trial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications, was carried out at agricultural faculty of bu-ali sina university, during 2008-2009. experimental factors were amounts of nitro...

An overview of a decision support system for growing malting barley without use of pesticides is given. One module in this system is the decision support system for mechanical weed control in malting barley. The system is constructed as a Bayesian network. The Bayesian network is used because it gives the possibility to include information on uncertainty in an easily understandable form. The mo...

Weeds are the major constraint to achieving higher wheat yield in Afghanistan. To evaluate weed interference and its impact on wheat, a field experiment was undertaken during winter season 2014–15 at Afghanistan National Agricultural Science Technology University (ANASTU), Kandahar. Seven control treatments comprising isoproturon 0.75 1.0 kg/ha 35 days after sowing (DAS), sulfosulfuron 20 25 g/...

The growth, yield attributes and of clusterbean were influenced by various weed management treatments. objective the current study was to evaluate impact different practices on overall yield. An agronomic investigation conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Mandor, affiliated with Agriculture University, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, during Kharif season 2018. experimental design utilized a randomiz...

the percentage of fat in liver wet and dry matter, liver moist and dry matter and their relationship were investigated based on species, sex and age of 384 slaughtered animals including 114 cows, 100 buffaloes, 147 sheep and 23 goats from 2008 to 2010 in urmia, iran. mean percentage of fat in liver wet and dry matter, and liver dry matter in cows were 3.6%, 1.1%, 29.7%, buffaloes were 5.3%, 1.5...

Weeds are a major problem in seeding rangeland and cropland to native grasses. However, many immature weedy forbs and grasses are palatable to cattle. Research was conducted using yearling cattle for weed control in big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii var. gerardii Vitman) seedings (1987, 1988) at Mead, Nebraska on a Sharpsburg silty clay loam (fine, montmorillonitic, mesic Typic Argiudoll) soil....

To investigate a model to simulate wheat dry matter accumulation, three wheat cultivars with different tillering abilities were grown at three densities each in a field experiment. Five simulation models with high correlation coefficients for relative dry matter accumulation were established by the method of normalized. Among these models, the Richards equation was the best in fitting and forec...

background and objectives: early watergrass (echinochloa oryzoides) is considered as a new-introduced species and then as a potential invader. investigation of competitive traits of this species, in comparison with barnyardgrass (e. crus-galli), one of the most important weeds in rice fields of guilan province, would be useful to determine its spreading possibility as an aggressive weed. theref...

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2019-20 at College Farm, S. D. Agricultural University, Jagudan. The treatments included best combinations consisting physical and chemical methods as well alone. studies signified the importance hand weeding 25 40 DAS or application post emergence herbicides which could benefit crops in reducing different weed density ultimately reduced dr...
