intercropping is one of the management methods for crop production and leads to improvement of resource absorption and use by plants. based on this purpose the present field study was conducted to evaluate radiation absorption and uses efficiency in corn and bean strip intercropping at the farm of the faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during 2009. the experiment was s...

although the physiological and morphological differences between intercropped species caused a higher wue possibly, most researches on multiple cropping systems have focused on yields and the resources use efficiency (water, light and nutrients) has been less investigated. in addition, optimal use of nitrogen is important to attain sustainable agriculture due to its role in wue improvement. the...

in order to study the intercropping effects of maize (zea mays l.) and bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and evaluating effect of intercropping on weed biomass, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, payamenoor university of nagadeh,west- azarbayjan, iran during growing season of 2009-2010. the experiment was laid out as randomized complete block design with three rep...

The objective of these studies was to assess the degree to which bean leaf beetle, Cerotoma trifurcata (Forster), will feed on cucurbits. In 2003, we documented an infestation of C. trifurcata in a commercial pumpkin field near Rosemount, MN, USA. To evaluate C. trifurcata feeding on cucurbits, we conducted laboratory no-choice and choice test feeding studies. In the laboratory, C. trifurcata f...

introduction intercropping is an old and widespread practice used in low input cropping systems in many areas of the world. in fact, intercropping is claimed to be one of the most significant cropping techniques in sustainable agriculture, and many researches and reviews attribute its utilization to the number of environmental benefits from promoting land biodiversity to diversifying agricultur...

Objective: For investigation of intercropping of maize and faba bean, an experiment was conducted in Research Station of Agriculture Faculty of Tabriz University during growing season of 2013. Methods: Experimental design was randomized complete block design with three replications and seven treatment. Treatments included one row intercropping (1:1), 4 strip intercropping pattern with ratios of...

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...

120 Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol 2, No. 2, May 2008 Drought stress reduces dry bean seed yield in most production regions worldwide (White and Singh, 1991). The release of pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) germplasm CO46348 (Reg. No. GP-275, PI 651500) will provide plant breeders with drought-tolerant, pinto bean germplasm that takes advantage of a full growing season (95–98 d) and has ...
