to evaluate the competition effect of velvetleaf on cotton, an experiment was conducted in a completelyrandomized block design with split plot arrangement of treatments with three replications at experimentalstation of gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2011 growingseason. the treatments were three row spacing (20, 40 and 80cm) of cotton (as main plot) and f...

Field experiments were conducted during 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides NICOSULFURON and EPTC alone or in combination with seed priming on weed control and corn yield. NICOSULFURON (80 g a.i. ha‒1) was applied at four- to six-leaf stage of corn as post-emergence and EPTC (4920 g a.i. ha‒1) applied as pre-plant incorporation (PPI). Among the herbicide treatments, the lowest ...

Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seedlings were grown in competition with native weeds using soil and seed bank collected from recently chopped and burned areas near Appomattox, Virginia. One-year-old seedlings were planted and weeds allowed to germinate from the native seed bank while being exposed to CO(2) (ambient and elevated - approximately 700 ppm) and water (water stressed and well watered...

Citrus (Citrus spp.) is one of the most important crops in Florida agriculture. Weed control is a major component in citrus production practices. If not controlled, weeds may compete with citrus trees for nutrients, water, and light and may also increase pest problems. Herbicides are an important component of integrated weed management program in citrus. Saflufenacil, a new herbicide registered...

No-till cropping is an option for growers needing to reduce soil erosion in the Palouse annual-cropped region of the Pacific Northwest, which is well suited for wheat production. A 6-yr field study was conducted to determine optimum levels of fertilizer and herbicide inputs in a no-till continuous wheat crop production system. Three levels of nitrogen (N) and two weed management levels (WML) we...

Weed emergence models and weed population models have shown to be important tools for decision making. However, there have been no attempts to integrate a weed emergence model with a population dynamics model to build an improved model with increased predictive capacity. In this paper, a method of integrating both types of model is presented and an application building a mathematical model base...

in order to determine the practical method to predict economic production of wheat in competition with feral rye by using regression models, a factorial experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in dargaz. iran. experimental factors were included wheat cultivars (sayson, alvand, chamran and sepahan) and feral rye densities (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80...

abstract the critical period of weed control (cpwc) is a period in the crop growth cycle during which weeds must be controlled to prevent yield losses. in order to determine the critical period of weed control (cpwc) of corn in hamedan, an experiment was conducted in 2007 at agricultural research station of bu-ali sina university of hamedan. the experiment was carried out as a randomized comple...
