Abstract In organic farming the control of perennial weed species, in particular Cirsium arvense , can be a major concern for farmers, especially if there is no regulation through forage production. To test whether stubble cleaner (SC), an enhanced skim plow (PL), as effective C. and other weeds conventional ploughing production, field experiment was established. Three different tillage/crop ro...

ducted with modern cotton cultivars (Touchton et al., 1984; Bauer et al., 1993; Daniel et al., 1999; Larson et Thrips, primarily Frankliniella spp., can damage cotton (Gossypal., 2001). Grass cover crop residues generally have a ium hirsutum L.) seedlings. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of winter cover crops on thrips populations in high C/N ratio, which causes N immo...

to evaluate the effects of some phosphorus solubilizing bacteria strains on yield and agronomic traits in local bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) of guilan, different phosphate fertilizer rates were tested during 2014 growing season. this research was carried out in experimental field of agricultural and natural resource research center of guilan province as split plot arrangement based on randomize...

Soil structural quality in areas under a no-tillage system is altered after successive crops, where compaction recurrent problem. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect different forms soil decompaction on maize grain production. A randomized split-plot block design with four replications used, 5 × 3 2 factorial arrangement, consisting five mechanical decompaction: ripping depth...

This study was conducted to know cropping cycles required to improve OM status in soil and to investigate the effects of medium-term tillage practices on soil properties and crop yields in Grey Terrace soil of Bangladesh under wheat-mungbean-T. aman cropping system. Four different tillage practices, namely, zero tillage (ZT), minimum tillage (MT), conventional tillage (CT), and deep tillage (DT...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a staple and the most important food crop around world. The growth productivity of wheat are influenced by different factors, viz., sowing time, tillage system nutrient application. current field experiment consists boron (B) application rates, B0 = No (Control), B1 soil applied (2 kg ha−1), B2 foliar B3 water spray; two systems, zero (ZT) conventional (CT); thre...

this experiment was carried out to study the effects of different levels of canola meal of different fat sources on the egg quality, performance as well egg yolk cholesterol during the first 12 weeks of age in laying hens (hy-line w-36). throughout the experiment a total of 432 hens were employed in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement of 3×4, with three levels of canola me...

Tillage erosion is a potential contributor to the total soil erosion occurring within cultivated fields. No study has been carried out on tillage erosion associated with cereal-based production systems, which are the predominant form of crop production in the Canadian Prairies. Previous tillage translocation studies have focused on primary tillage implements (i.e. mouldboard and chisel ploughs)...

Assessing mitigation of phosphorus (P) leaching from subsurface drainage systems is challenging due to high spatial and temporal variation in leaching. Mean measured total P leaching from a clayey soil in an eight-year study period (four replicates per treatment) was (kg ha-1 year-1): 1.21 from shallow autumn tillage (ShT), 0.84 from unfertilised fallow (UF), 0.81 from conventional autumn ploug...
