employment of solarization using the polyethylene mulch can be effective as a non-chemical approach for some control noxious weed management such as purple nutsedge (cyperus rotundus). in order to determine the effect of different levels of polyethylene mulches including one- layer clear polyethylene film, two- layer clear polyethylene film, one- layer black polyethylene film and two- layer bla...

in order to investigate the effects of input intensity on species diversity, composition and density of weeds in corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during the year 2009. treatments included low input, medium input and high input systems. low...

Weeds are a major constraint to the success of dry-seeded rice (DSR). The main means of managing these in a DSR system is through chemical weed control using herbicides. However, the use of herbicides alone may not be sustainable in the long term. Approaches that aim for high crop competitiveness therefore need to be exploited. One such approach is the use of high rice seeding rates. Experiment...

Management of nitrogen fertilization in crops is one of the most important components of integrated weed management. A two-year field experiment was conducted to determine the direct effects of wild mustard aboveground biomass and N content of wild mustard on oilseed rape yield. A set of factorial treatments was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments w...

Objective: Citrus (Citrus reticulata) is one of the most important horticultural plant in Iran and weed management throuth ecological methods such as cover crop is a proper option in orchard management practices. Methods: The experiment was designed as a split plot on the base of complete randomized block design with four replications in Mazandaran Province, Sari, Voushka county from 2...

the recent decades emphasis on reducing pesticide use especially herbicide has led to increased interest in alternative weed control methods. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the hilling time and simultaneous interseeding of two cover crops as living mulch to control weeds in potato and to determine the impact of these actions on potato yield. a randomized complete block design as spli...
