Intercropping is considered for increasing and stability of yield per unit. In order to study the effects of different intercropping arrangements on sorghum and mungbean yield and to find the land use advantage in the intercropping system, an experiment was carried out based on a randomized complete block design with seven treatments and three replications at the Research Farm, Faculty of Agric...

This research investigated the role of oxidative enzymes in the defense response of sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (Poales: Poaceae), to the sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata Rondani (Diptera: Muscidae). Changes in polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activity and total protein content were observed in resistant and susceptible sorghum genotypes in response to A. soccata feeding. Resista...

An experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tabriz, Iran in 2012 to study the effect of intercropping of chickpea and Dragon’s head on yield, yield components and morphological traits of Dragon’s head as affected by four weed management time. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. Intercropping patterns included; a<su...

The Mexican rice borer, Eoreuma loftini (Dyar) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is the key pest of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) in Texas; it can attack several grassy crop and noncrop host plants and has spread into Louisiana. Through small-plot, commercial field, and pheromone trap experiments, this study demonstrates that the pest uses corn, Zea mays L., more than sugarcane and sorghum, Sorghum bicolo...

The inability of pre-emergence herbicides alone to give season-long weed control in maize production justifies the need for supplementary control. Field trials were conducted evaluate intercropped groundnut and jack bean enhanced efficacy two 2013/2014 2015 cropping seasons at Federal University Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria. experiment was arranged split-plot fitted a randomized complete bloc...

in order to investigate the effect of different weed-free and weed-infested periods on the growth indices of black seed, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad, during 2009-2010 growing season. the experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and 3 replications. twelve experimental treatments cons...
