Field and greenhouse studies were conducted to investigate the compatibility of MSMA in a tank mixture with glyphosate or glufosinate for broadleaf and grass weed control. Glyphosate, glufosinate, and MSMA were evaluated at 0.53, 13, and 23 rates, with 13 rates of 0.84 kg ae/ha, 0.5 kg ai/ha, and 2.2 kg ai/ha, respectively. Glyphosate and glufosinate provided similar levels of control for most ...

in order to evaluate millet (panicum miliaceum l.) and cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.) intercropping, an experiment was conducted during 2008-2009 at agriculture research center of zabol university, iran. the experiment was as randomized complete block design with three replications. treatment s consisted of sole crop of millet, sole crop of cowpea, 25% millet + 100% cowpea, 50% millet + 50% cowp...

Weeds compete with crops and are hard to differentiate identify due their similarities in color, shape, size. In this study, the weed species present sorghum (sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) fields, such as amaranth (Amaranthus macrocarpus), pigweed (Portulaca oleracea), mallow (Malva sp.), nutgrass (Cyperus rotundus), liver seed grass (Urochoa panicoides), Bellive (Ipomea plebeian), were discrimi...

The research was aimed to observe the effect of malting and fermentation on antinutritional component and functional characteristics of sorghum flour. For whole sorghum flour, cleaned sorghum grain was milled to pass through 40 mesh sieve. For malting, cleaned sorghum grain was steeped in 0.2% calcium hydroxide solution for 24 hr and then germinated for 48 hr at 90% RH and 27 ± 2°C. Sprout was ...

in order to investigate the efficacy of split, reduced and whole rates of oxyfluorfen in controlling redroot pigweed (amarnthus retroflexus) and also to evaluate possible soybean (glycine max) injuries a experiment was conducted in research greenhouses of karaj collage of agriculture, university of tehran in 2005. treatments included oxyfluorfen doses at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 l/ha in one stage ...

Glyphosate is the world's most important herbicide, with many uses that deliver effective and sustained control of a wide spectrum of unwanted (weedy) plant species. Until recently there were relatively few reports of weedy plant species evolving resistance to glyphosate. Since 1996, the advent and subsequent high adoption of transgenic glyphosate-resistant crops in the Americas has meant unpre...

Background: Broomrape (Orobanche crenata Forsk.) is a major biotic stress of faba bean and affects the yield adversely. The impact intercropping to curb spread progress parasite was tested by using two cultivars under heavily soil infested conditions broomrape. present study aimed evaluate fenugreek, flax, garlic or radish with on broomrape incidence increase yield, land usage economic return i...

Weed management is a major issue in organic farming systems. Although interseeding cover crops is one alternative to herbicides, cover crops often suppress not only weeds but also main crops. Therefore, using cover crops for weed control without adverse effects on main crop growth is important. To verify the effect of cover crops on competition between main crops, cover crops and weeds in snowy...

This study was conducted to compare herbicides for use in herbicide-tolerant grain sorghum grass control fallow. Imazamox applied preemergence (PRE) generally the most effective herbicide regardless of weed species or evaluation date. Postemergence (POST) treatments did not green foxtail more than 78% late season. Imazamox, Assure II (quizalofop), and Accent (nicosulfuron) PRE early POST contro...
