Parthenium hysterophorus L. (congress grass, congress weed, carrot weed, wild feverfew, the “Scourge of India”) is an exotic weed that was accidentally introduced in India in 1956 through imported food grains.[1] It has become a common weed causing dermatitis of epidemic proportions.[2] The epithet “congress weed” refers to the US congress (who allocated the shipment for Pune, India).[3] In Pun...

But recent relatively rapid change in climate occurs due to anthropogenic activities which makes alarming attention because it contributes largely to global warming by affecting the greenhouse gases (GHGs) and aerosols. GHGs mainly CO2, methane, nitr...

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...

abstract in order to evaluate the influence of nitrogen application and duration of weed interference on corn (zea mays l.) yield and yield components, a field study was conducted in 2004 at the ferdowsi university of mashhad research field. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with a factorial treatment arrangement replicated three times. nitrogen fertilizer was applied at r...

Understanding the spectral characteristics of crops in response to stress caused by weeds is a basic step improving precision agricultural technologies that manage field. This research focused on competition between corn (Zea mays) and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), common weed strongly reduces yield. The aim this was characterize physiological changes occur during early growth becau...

Inadequate weed control is one of the primary causes a decrease in soybean production. Weeds compete for resources with crops (water, light and nutrients). This competition especially important during early stages crop development, when production losses up to 80 per cent are possible, extreme cases, harvest operations hampered. As result, current study sought identify an effective practice soy...

In the present study, the herbicidal effects of two fungicides with the active ingredients expoxiconazole, fluxapyroxad, pyraclostrobin and fenpropimorph on the two arable weeds Lamium purpureum L. and Chenopodium album L. were investigated. The experiments were conducted in a climate chamber under defined conditions. Sowing pods were prepared and plants at the cotyledon leaf stage were pricked...

Background: The EU-project Flourish intends to establish an autonomously operating precision farming system based on the interaction between unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). For effective mission planning and site-specific ground intervention by the UGV, the growth, mineral nutrition, weed, and health status of the crop field must be evaluated efficiently. In...

introduction lentil (lens culinaris medik.) is an important legume in the mediterranean area. high protein content in lentil seed (about 22-28%) makes it as a good food source for developing countries and low-income people. in the west of iran such as kermanhah province, it is the most important pulse in rainfed systems cultivated traditionally in rotation with wheat and barley. lentil is grown...
