Intercropping systems compared to monoculture systems can more efficiently use the existing resources which ultimately will lead to increased plant performance. Therefore, to evaluate the benefits of intercropping maize and beans and assess its impact on yield and yield’s component, an experiment was conducted in factorial design with randomized complete block design in three replication, in 20...

Recently, tree planting has become popular under NAPA. For decades, many tree planting projects were implemented to reduce the vulnerability of ecosystems and societies. Despite all of these, tree-dependent livelihoods remain vulnerable, which leaves doubt on the benefit of tree planting to enhance the resilience of livelihoods to climatic shocks. This suggests that much can be learned from the...

in order to study the effect of planting pattern and nitrogen application on barley and faba bean yield and quality of forage in intercropping, an experiment was conducted on farm of agricultural and natural resources faculty of gonbad kavous university as factorial based on rcbd with three replications in 2012-2013. planting pattern consisted of five levels, i.e. sole barley, intercropping of ...

Different ethnic groups have evolved distinctive cultural models which guide their interactions with the environment, including their agroecosystems. Although it is probable that variations in the structures of homegardens among separate ethnic groups reflect differences in the cultural models of the farmers, empirical support for this assumption is limited. In this paper the modal horizontal s...

This study aimed at the development of method of monitoring paddy rice planting applicable to areas located in the tropical humid climate region. The method was integrated with two steps of procedure. As the first step, we attempted to produce land use map which discriminated paddy field using multi-temporal Landsat data. In order to remove the effect of cloud cover, a new method of land use cl...

Wood quality attributes were examined in six stands of slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) and loblolly pine (P. taeda L.) in the lower Coastal Plain of Georgia and Florida. Several plots comprised each stand, and each plot was divided so that it received three fertilizer treatments: a control treatment with herbaceous weed control at planting and brush control at mid-rotation o...
