Insect-proof net cultivation (IPN), rice-duck farming (RD), and organic matter return (OM) are important methods to realize sustainable development of rice production. A split-plot field experiment was performed to study the effects of IPN, RD, and OM on the rice yield, dry matter accumulation and N utilization. Results showed that compared to inorganic N fertilizer (IN), wheat straw return, an...

abstract in order to efficacy evaluation of some new herbicides to control of weeds in corn, a set of field studies were conducted in 2007 at 4 province of iran, including tehran (varamin), khuzestan, fars, and kermansh. treatments were arranged in a rcbd design with four replications. treatments consisted of ultima (nicosulfuron+nimsulfuron), lumax (mesotrion+s-metolacholor+terbuthlazine), ami...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the genotypic stability of agronomic traits in hybrids of Panicum maximum. Hybrids originating from the crosses between two sexual parents and cultivars Mombasa and Tanzania were evaluated in an incomplete-block design. Evaluated traits were total dry matter, leaf dry matter, stem dry matter, percentage of leaves, and leaf:stem ratio. These traits wer...

in order to evaluate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield, yield components and dry matter remobilization of different rice genotypes, a field experiment was carried out at the farm of ramin agricultural and natural resources university (ahwaz/iran) during 2007. experiment was arranged in a split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. four nitrogen fertil...

This study aims to determine the effect of pre-emergence application herbicide metsulfuron methyl on soil mixed with rice husk biochar germination weeds. used a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) two levels (0 gr/ha and 300 gr/ha) four (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% total weight planting medium). The parameters observed were number weeds, wet dry results showed that interaction had no significant ...

For the first time, highly elevated levels of mercury (Hg) have been documented for several species of the edible Fungi genus Boletus growing in latosols, lateritic red earths, and red and yellow earths from the Yunnan province of China. Analysis of Hg concentrations in the genus suggests that geogenic Hg is the dominant source of Hg in the fungi, whereas anthropogenic sources accumulate largel...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of biological treatment withPleurotus floridafungi on chemical composition and rumen dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) degradability of wheat and barley straw. Wheat and barley straw were collected from Golestan province of Iran and after pasteurization mixed with fungi spawn (than 5% by weight). After 21 days samples were dried in oven (...
