Environ.Entomol.21(2):264-268(1992) ABSTRACT Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., resistance to insects has been shown to vary with planting date and leaf age. This study determined effects soybean genotype, planting date, and leaf age had on feeding behavior of com earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie). Soybean genotypes 'Cobb' (susceptible) and 'GatIR81-296' (resistant) were planted early (29May) and...

The effects of irrigation and planting pattern on wheat in field conducted at Taian, northern China during 2011-12. The experiments consisted of two planting patterns (single and double rows) and two irrigation levels (0 and 180 mm) resulting in the same plant density (200 × 10 plant/ha). Each experiment plot was 3 m × 3 m in size and replicated thrice in split-plot design. During course of stu...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes and planting methods on yield, yield components, morphological traits, and storage characteristics of a local onion cultivar, namely, goli ghesse. the experiment was conducted as a factorial split plot design with rcbd arrangement in four replications and for three years at kheirabad research station. irrigati...

Increasing crop yield is a significant objective in modern agriculture, with adjusted planting density and rational fertilization strategies standing out as the foremost approaches for attaining such goal. Through use of artificial intelligence techniques genetic algorithms neural networks, CPDOS (Crop Planting Density Optimization System), an online intelligent system that can automate modelin...

introduction: increasing crop competitive ability is an important part of integrated weed management (iwm). in this regard, identifying weeds reaction to soil fertility status for developing fertilizing methods, as components of iwm programs, is a necessity. materials and methods: in order to evaluate the growth characteristics of purple nutsedge under the conditions of interference with onion,...

The light deficiency in the canopy is not the main factor limiting maize (Zea mays L.) production but the lower radiation use efficiency (RUE). Conservation tillage planting patterns were used to construct a sustainable agricultural system for soil protection and higher RUE. On these bases, we tried to create more uniform light distribution in crop canopy for increasing radiation use efficiency...

greenhouse gases emissions from burning fossil fuels and the effect of these gases on climate change is one of the most important ecological and political issues. in this study the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from tillage and soybean planting were assessed in gorgan. this study is done on 13 soybean farms in 2012. information related to tillage and planting operations were p...
