Andersen, K. F., Morris, L., Derksen, R. C., Madden, L. V., and Paul, P. A. 2014. Rainfastness of prothioconazole + tebuconazole for Fusarium head blight and deoxynivalenol management in soft red winter wheat. Plant Dis. 98:1398-1406. Fungicides are most warranted for control of Fusarium head blight (FHB), a disease of wheat caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum, when wet, rainy co...

carbon (c) and organic nitrogen (n) mineralization processes play key roles in supplying nutrient elements essential for plant growth. on the other hand, since the low organic matter content of agricultural soils of arid and semi-arid areas, microbial activities are often limited by carbon in these types of soils. enhancement of microbial activities and populations could be achieved by returnin...

cation as the layby treatment. Such herbicide treatments follow the last cultivation before harvest. Shading and With adoption of combine harvest technology, massive sugarcane competition from sugarcane plants usually control weeds (Saccharum Spp. Hyb.) residue is left on the soil surface following each harvest, which could affect the environmental fate and efficacy developing after canopy clos...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the impacts of a 12-year old conservation agriculture (CA)- based pigeon pea-wheat system on weeds, wheat crop, and resource use during winter (rabi) 2021–22. Results indicated that surface retention residue irrespective ZT permanent bed N dose led significant reduction in weed interference at 60 DAS. CA-based systems reduced density dry weight consi...

Mathematical models do not explicitly represent the influence of soil microbial diversity on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics despite recent evidence of relationships between them. The objective of the present study was to statistically investigate relationships between bacterial and fungal diversity indexes (richness, evenness, Shannon index, inverse Simpson index) and decomposition of diffe...

This study examines the effects of tillage, residue management and cropping system intensification through the inclusion of green gram on the performance of the rice-wheat (RW) system in NW India. We hypothesized that zero tillage (ZT) with residue retention provides a means of sustainably intensifying the RW system through lower production costs and higher economic profitability, whilst at the...

In order to investigate physiological and biochemical changes of wheat under stress residue of Imazethapyr herbicide (Imazethapyr), an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications in greenhouse conditions at university of Mohaghegh Ardebili. The treatments consisted of five dose levels of herbicide Imazethapyr (0, 0.011, 0.022, 0.033 and 0.044 micrograms of ...
