Annual medic is an annual crop which performs well in various forage cropping systems. However availability of medic seeds is a major challenge for livestock producers in Iran. This study was conducted to determine if intercropping annual medic with barley can produce supplement medic seeds while barley grain yield as the main crop is not compromised. Two experiments were carried out at the exp...

introduction intercropping, the agricultural practice of cultivating two or more crops in the same space at the same time, is an old and commonly used cropping practice which aims to match efficiently crop demands to the available growth resources (agegnehu et al., 2006; dhima et al., 2007). intercropping of chickpea with linseed reduced the chickpea yield by 60.3%, although linseed occupied on...

irrigated barley is grown on about 50,000 hectares in the warm agro-climate zone in the south of iran. the average grain yield of barley in these areas is 2,000 kg/ha. wide adaptability and high grain yield stability are important assets for barley varieties to be grown by farmers. zahak barley cultivar was initially selected from international barley germplasm received from cymmit and based on...

this experiment was laid out in order to evaluate the effects  of different biofertilizers on yield components of barley. the experiment was a factorial design with three replications. treatments were three nitrogen biofrtilizers (nitroksin, nitrokara and supernitroplass) and three phosphate  biofrtilizers (phosphate barvar2, biozarr and superplass) with control for them and yield components we...

On-farm production of protein is limited in most dairy farm operations in arid and semi-arid environments. Cereal-legume intercropping could be a viable option to obtain forage with higher protein content. A two-year experiment was conducted during 2009 and 2010 growing seasons in a loamy soil to determine whether intercropping pattern of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and annual medic (Medica...

to evaluate the yield and quality of barley (hordeum vulgare)–vetch (vicia desycarpa) intercropping, a series of experiments were conducted at the experimental field of the college of agriculture, university of tehran, in karaj (iran) from 2003 to 2005. the ex-periments were arranged in a randomized complete block with a split plot design and four replications. three levels (0, 45 and 90 kg n h...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth and yield are depressed by physical and chemical interference of weeds. Recently, wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum) population has increased in wheat fields of many provinces of Iran. Since, little is known about the allelopathic effects of wild barley residues in soil, greenhouse studies were conducted to examine the effects of soil amended residues of wild barl...

Barley next to wheat is the most important and widely adapted food cereal in the lower parts of Karkhe River Basin. This crop is one of the most salt-tolerant crop species. Varieties of the crop differ considerably in their ability to tolerate salinity. These differences can be used for selecting high yielding varieties under saline conditions. A field experiment was conducted in Dasht-e Azadeg...

in order to evaluate quantity and quality hairy vetch (vicia villosa l.) yield in the pure and mixed cropping with barley (hordeum vulgare l.) and triticale (triticosecale) the experiment was conducted at agricultural research station (khodabande) under dryland conditions during 2006 -2008. field experiments were arranged in a randomized complete blocks design with 9 treatments in four replicat...
