In order to determine the best time use and adequate dose of four herbicides control weeds in dryland chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) fields, we performed present experiment 4 x 5 m plots. Fourteen treatments were carried out that from 1 9 included trifluralin. Treatments 1, 2, 3 with increasing doses trifluralin (480, 720, 960 g ai ha-1) applied 30 days before planting. 4, 5, 6 15 7, 8 consisted...

Representations of femininity in video games and other media are often discussed with reference to the most popular games, their protagonists and their sexist predicament. This framing leaves in shadow other dimensions. We aim to identify some of them and to open a broader horizon for examining and designing femininity and gender in games. To this end we look into games with creative portrayals...

in order to determine the best planting date and seeding rate of two triticale genotype in mashhad climate condition on 2007-2009 growing season, an experiment was carried out, using a split-plot design based on randomized complete block design with three replication, at torogh agricultural research station, mashhad, iran. main plots devoted to five seeding dates and factorial combination of th...

in order to study the competition ability of amaranth and mungbean in fodder intercropping system under different crop residue management, a field experiment was conducted at two seasons (first planting of wheat and then intercropping management) in agricultural faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz during growing season of 2010-2011. the experimental design was split plot based on rand...

The asparagus miner is an obligatory feeder on asparagus and a putative vector for pathogenic fungi implicated in the early decline of asparagus fields. To date, the distribution of the asparagus miner over space and time is poorly understood. Our study evaluated the spatial and temporal pattern of adult asparagus miners in commercial asparagus fields in Michigan in 2011 and 2012. We sampled ad...

Th e incorporation of plant biomass (litter/prunned residues) into the soil constitutes an important pathway for nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Th e feasibility of meeting N needs of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) with short-duration pigeon pea fallow was studied in the fi eld in Akure, a humid zone of Nigeria. Th e trials were set up on site where late season pigeon pea – maize intercr...

Neonicotinoid insecticides have been themost commonmanagement tool for Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), infestations in cultivated potato for nearly 20 yr. The relative ease of applying neonicotinoids at planting coupled with inexpensive, generic neonicotinoid formulations has reduced the incentive for potato growers to transition from these products to other mode of act...

The objective of this study was to characterize concentrations of atrazine, terbuthylazine, and other pesticides in amphibian habitats in surface waters of a corn-production area of the western Highveld region (North-West Province) of South Africa. The study was conducted from November 2001 to June 2002, coinciding with the corn-production season. Pesticide residues were measured at regular int...

A field experiment with six treatments was conducted to study the nitrogen reserves in summer maize topsoil on the north China plain. Results showed that topdressing significantly increased topsoil nitrogen reserves. Summer corn topsoil nitrogen reserves were affected by several management measures. Shallow tillage, wheat straw no-returning and deep intertillage at the corn seedling stage signi...

Field experiments were conducted at Ebonyi State University, Faculty of Agriculture Research Farm Abakaliki, Nigeria during 2009/10 growing seasons to evaluate the effects of staking and planting dates on the grain/tuber yields of seven accessions of African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa, Hochst. Ex. A. Rich). The results indicated that all the African yam bean accessions performed better w...
