crop residue is a non-chemical method of weed control in agricultural sustainable systems. this research was conducted at the alarogh site of ardabilto evaluate the effect of integrated use of mulch and herbicide on weed emergence and growth in potato in 2007. treatments were four levels herbicide including: (1) paraquat [n,n'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride] herbicide as pre-pl...

A field experiment was conducted in a cider-apple orchard to evaluate the effect of six groundcover management systems (pine-bark, plastic and straw mulches, tillage, herbicide and natural soil) on the occurrence of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae). Eight species of carabids were collected in pitfall traps. The three most common beetles, Steropus gallega Fairmaire (65.8%), Pseudophonus ru...

In this study, changes in soil moisture and salinity contents in drip irrigation combined with white and black plastic mulches compared to no mulch (control) was evaluated. The experiment was carried out in two commercial pistachio orchards (Ohadi cultivar) with irrigation frequencies of 8 to 12 days with a total water consumption 4100 and 6170 m3ha−1. The study was conducted in a complete rand...

Lumbu Hijau) lowland Putih) w...

Field experiments were carried out to study the interactive effects of plastic mulch and tillage method on yield and quality of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. Mulch levels in the study were plastic-mulching (PM; black plastic mulch) and no-mulching (NM) and tillage treatments were conventional tillage (CT; moldboard plowing + two passes of disk harrowing)...

to study the effects of urea foliar spray at different plant growth stages on grain yield and protein percentage of two dryland wheat varieties of sardari and azar 2, an experiment was conducted in east mangor agricultural station of mahabad in 2007– 2008. the experiment design was split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments were 50 gr×10 m-2 n as ur...

peppermint (mentha piperita l.) from lamiaceae family is one of the most important medicinal plants, used in food, sanitary and cosmetic industries. a field experiment was carried out in ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2010-2011 to evaluate the effects of three irrigation levels (100, 80 and 60 percent of water requirements calculated by evaporation pan class a) and two mulch types (black pla...

The present study was carried out at Lovely Professional university, Phagwara, Punjab during 2019 to the performance of okra under irrigation levels and mulching methods drip irrigation. treatment comprised 3 (1.0 ETc, 0.8 ETc 0.6 ETc) 5 mulch (black plastic mulch, silver straw soil no mulch) laid in split plot design replicated thrice. growth yield attributes were significantly influenced by m...

today, due to the problems caused by herbicide application, there is a strong interest in developing alternative methods of weed control. to study the effects of soil solarization, barley straw mulch on weed flora, a field experiment was conducted at research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad during the growing season of 2007-2008. this experiment was based on a ...

Post-planting weed control methods on abandoned farmland were studied in three fi eld trials in southern Finland using a completely randomized design with four treatments and 30 to 40 replications. Mulches of 60 × 60 cm [sheet mulch – strips of plane waste and plastic fi bre, newspaper – waste paper slurry, wood chips, pure wood fi bre slurry], herbicides [i.e. glyphosate or terbuthylazine alon...
