This experiment was conducted, to study the effect of planting time and planting density on savory (Satureja sahendica Bornm.) in 2012 in Alborz Research Station, Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands, Karaj, Iran. The experiment was carried out in split plot in time in the form of a randomized complete block design with three replicates. The main plots were planting times in two levels ...

potato (solanum tuberosum l.) cultivation in two different climates causes difference in its growth process.the most frequently used indicators of growth for plants are the tuber growth rate (tgr), crop growth rate (cgr) and leaf area index (lai). shoot dry weight is the easiest, quickest and least costly component to measure the competitive features of plants.the results of some studies showed...

The population density of Hoplolaimus magnistylus, a lance nematode, in cotton was determined at planting, mid-season, and harvest during the 1995 and 1996 growing seasons for a Poinsett County, Arkansas field. Nematode populations increased from planting to harvest in 1995 but declined in 1996. Application of aldicarb at planting at rates of 0.59 or 0.84 kg a.i./ha did not influence either nem...

Seed treatments with Bacillus cereus UW85 increased nodulation of soybeans in three field seasons and in three different sterilized soils in the growth chamber. In the field, 28 and 35 days after planting, UW85-treated plants had 31 to 133% more nodules than untreated plants. From 49 days after planting until seed harvest, there were no significant differences between nodulation of UW85-treated...

Bed planted wheat systems offer a new alternative for the traditional wheat producer to provide opportunities for crop rotation, more efficient use of water, and new techniques of nutrient management. This study was conducted to determine if planting winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Oklahoma on raised beds can maintain grain yields while providing more options in the cropping system. Expe...

Plant-plant interactions that change along environmental gradients can be affected by different combinations of environmental characteristics, such as the species and planting density ratios. Suaeda salsa and Scirpus planiculumis are regionally dominant species in the Shuangtai estuarine wetland. Compared with non-clonal S. salsa, clonal S. planiculumis has competitive advantages because of its...
