Halosulfuron is a proposed alternative to methyl bromide for managing nutsedges (Cyperus spp.) in several vegetable crops, including cucurbits. Field studies were conducted to evaluate the crop sensitivity to halosulfuron in a spring squash (Cucurbita pepo L.)—fall cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) rotation from 2000 to 2002. Treatments included application of halosulfuron to the soil surface after...

tomato (solanum lycopersicum l.) is one of the most important vegetable plants in the world. it originated in western south america, and domestication is thought to have occurred in central america. in order to study the effect of polyethylene sheet as mulch on water requirement and yield of tomato, an experiment was carried out as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design wi...

vegetation that is allowed to naturally decompose isn’t realized by many ranchers and some range mangers. Mulch plays a critical role in soil-water relationships that is often overlooked. This, coupled with current drought conditions in the southwestern United States justifies a consideration of the importance of mulch on rangelands. Several early classic studies (reviewed in this article) reve...
