abstract field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of sowing date, crop density, and weed interference on yield and yield components of chickpea in lorestan province during 2005-06. the experimental was a randomized complete block design by factorial arrangement with 4 replications. the experiment had 3 factors: sowing date at 2 levels (autumn, and winter), crop density at 3 levels...

A study was carried out over 2 years (2008/2009 and 2009/2010) in Greece, in order to evaluate the weed control using reduced rates of the herbicide mesosulfuron-methyl+iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium of four major weeds (Avena sterilis, Phalaris minor, Papaver rhoeas and Sinapis arvensis), grain yield and yield components of five wheat cultivars (Bob, Cosmodur, Meridiano, Quadrato and Simeto). The ...

We propose a lawn weed detection method modified from our previous work, i.e., Bayesian classifier based method. The proposed method employs features calculated from not only the edge-strength of weed/lawn textures but also color information of RGB. Instead of using Bayesian classifier, we exploit more sophisticated classifier, i.e., supportvector machine, for detecting weeds. After weed detect...

The differential weed-competitive abilities of eight rice genotypes and the traits that may confer such attributes were investigated under partial weedy and weed-free conditions in naturally occurring weed flora in dry direct-seeded rice during the rainy seasons of 2011 and 2012 at Ludhiana, Punjab, India. The results showed genotypic differences in competitiveness against weeds. In weed-free p...

to study weed species diversity and community structure in pistachio (pistacia vera l.) orchards in 33 orchards of 12 villages an investigation was conducted in bardaskan county, khorasan razavi province, iran during 2008-2009. weed population sampling was conducted in a w shape method using 1m² quadrate. the results showed that the weeds of pistachio orchards were belonging to 15 families and ...

in order to determine the critical period of weed control (cpwc) in corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete blocks design with 14 treatments and three replications during 2013 growing season in the nahavand climatic conditions. two series of the treatments including weed-free and weed-infested were applied in the regular time distances of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 an...

introduction weeds are main factors reducing crops yield, especially under organic farming conditions (). it has been reported that weed populations are more in organic farming compared to conventional cropping systems, resulting in more reduction of growth and yield. although the chemical control is a fast and effective way for controlling weed populations, some negative impacts of the recent ...

the trial randomized complete block design with four replications in summer 1394 in a farm located in the share ray to study the effects of different methods of weed control on the yield and quality of forage maize varieties (sc.704) was performed. the experiment consisted of black plastic mulch, black plastic mulch silver, vetch cover crop with a density of 100 per cent, with 50 per cent vetch...
