to investigate the effect of sowing density and growth habit on yield, yield components and weed community of red bean an experiment was conducted at research farm of zanjan university, during 2009. the experiment carried out using factorial-split plot design in completely randomized block arrangement with three replications. the main plots, included three red bean cultivars (goli, sayyad and d...

135 ABSTRACT: Heavy metals and dyes are major contributors in contamination of water streams. These contaminants enter into our ecosystem, thus posing a significant threat to public health, ecological equilibrium and environment. Thus a combined discharge of these contaminants results in water pollution with high chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, color, particulate matter, suspe...

Experiments were carried out in the laboratory and greenhouse to determine the growth inhibitory effects of Grassohopper's cyperus (Cyperus iria L.) on the seedlings of 5 Malaysian rice varieties namely MR211, MRQ74, MR220, MR84 and MR232. Three concentrations of the aqueous extract of the weed (12.5, 25.0 and 50.0 g/l) and weed debris (5, 10 and 20 g dry debris/1000 g soil) were used to test t...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is a dry pulse crop commonly used from old time. the chickpea yield is lower as compared to maximum potentials of the cultivars. the gap could mainly be attributed to the weed competition in addition to other production constraints. although chickpeas are traditionally grown on residual soil moisture, weeds competition pose major problem in many situations. in orde...

a field study was conducted to evaluate the agronomic response of eight isolines of cv. clark on a clay loam soil (at karaj-iran, 35048´) to four plant population densities of 11.3, 18.5, 68.5, and 103.4 plants per square metre. significant yield increase was obtained as a result of higher plant density. differences among the cv. clark isolines were significant (p

kochia is a halophyte plant and is a good source of forage for livestock under saline irrigation. in order to investigate the salinity effect on morphological and forage characteristics of kochia, an experiment was conducted. three saline waters (5.2, 10.5 and 23.1 ds m-1) and three kochia ecotypes (birjand, borujerd and sabzevar) were allocated as main and sub plots, respectively, in a split p...

abstract- this experiment was carried out during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011 at the agricultural research farm of bu-ali sina university, to study the effect of weed competition on subsequent germination and seed vigour of chickpea. 12 weed interference durations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. experiments consisted of two sets of treatment...

drought is the main constraint limiting chickpea productivity which makes a considerable difference between the potential and actual yield. in order to evaluate the effect of drought stress on different morpho-physiological characteristics of chickpea, four distinct genotypes were studied in three sampling times (pre-stress, stress and recovery) with three replications. as the results implicate...
