in this study, the performance of different cultivation methods on sugar beet fields was evaluated. eight treatments were considered: a) use of a rolling cultivator twice during the growing season; b) use of a rolling cultivator three times during the growing season; c) use of a crescent cultivator twice during the growing season; d) use of a crescent cultivator three times during the growing s...

in order to study the effects of mechanical and chemical methods of weed control and their interaction on cotton (cv. varamin) an experiment was conducted in agricultural research field, the university of birjand during 2008 growing season using a randomize complete block design with 12 treatments and 4 replications. treatments were: trefelan (trifluralin 48% ec) 960cc ai ha-1 (pre-plant), sona...

in order to investigate efficacy of the integrated weed management in cotton fields, three experiments were carried out in three cotton growing areas of iran, including varamin, khorasan, fars in 2006. these experiments were conducted in randomized complete block design with 13 treatments and 4 replications. one of the pre plant soil mixtured herbicides (trifluralin 48% ec and ethalfluralin 33....

Conventional seedbed preparation is based on deep ploughing followed by lighter and finer secondary tillage of the superficial layer, normally performed machines powered tractor’s Power Take-Off (PTO), which prepares in a single pass. Conservation methods are wide range interventions, such as minimum or no-tillage, means with passive action working tools require two more passes The aim this stu...

The grape berry moth, Paralobesia viteana (Clemens), is a key pest of vineyards in eastern North America that overwinters as pupae in leaf litter on the vineyard floor. This presents an opportunity for tillage to disturb and bury the pupae, providing a potential nonchemical approach to control of this pest. Using a Lilleston-style rotary cultivator, we determined the distribution of pupae withi...

tillage systems influence soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics which in turn may alter, root characteristics, growth, and development. a three year study was conducted to investigate the effects of seven tillage systems on some soil (fine-loamy mixed, typic haplocambids) physical characteristics and wheat (triticum aestivum l.) root morphology. tillage treatments included ...
