spreading faba bean (vicia faba) cultivation can enhance the sustainability of cropping systems and have other important benefits. however, there is little information on the various aspects of production management for this crop. then, this experiment was carried out to study the response of some agronomic characteristics of faba bean cv barakat to inter- (15, 30, 45 and 60 cm) and intra-row (...

Overuse of different chemical fertilizers is one of the causes for the degradation of environment and soil. Biological fertilizers are the newest and most technically advanced way of supplying mineral nutrients to crops. Compared to chemical fertilizers, their supply nutrient for plant needs, minimizes leaching, and therefore improves fertilizer use efficiency. Vermicompost is an organic compou...

BACKGROUND: Overuse of fertilizers can lead to groundwater contamination, depletion of soil microorganisms and beneficial insects, increased crop susceptibility to diseases, acidification or alkalization of soil, damage to soil structure, reduced organic matter and soil fertility. Therefore, for achieve sustainable agricultural, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of conv...

in order to study of hydropriming, planting depth and nitrogen split application effect on yield and yield components of double cross hybrid of corn, an experiment was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications. nitrogen split application included (400 kg/ha at sowing date, 100 kg/ha at sowing date and 300 kg/ha 25 to 50 days after sowing da...

to evaluate the yield components, yield and land equivalent ratio affected by relay intercropping of sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) with faba bean (vicia faba l.), a field experiment was arranged based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station payamenoor university of nagadeh, iran during growing reason of 2012-2013. the treatments incl...

to evaluate the effects of presence of insect pollinators on quantity and quality of seeds of two common cultivars of onion (allium cepa l.), namely red azar shahr and yellow sweet spanish, an experiment in a factorial randomized complete block design was carried out at two sites. bulbs of equal size were planted with plant to plant 35 cm and row to row 50 cm spacing. at each site, experimental...

The use of renewable resources and inputs is one of the fundamental principles of sustainable agriculture that enables maximum crop productivity and minimal environmental risk. Nutrient management may be achieved by the involvement of organic sources, bio-fertilizers, and micro-nutrients. Indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers to achieve high yield and to compensate for lack of nutrients an...

a field experiment was conducted to assess the optimum inter- and intra-row spacing on growth, yield and yield component of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa l.) in 2014/15 cropping season at wondo genet agricultural research center experimental site (at wondo genet station). two inter-row spacing (60 and 90 cm) and three intra-row spacing (30, 60 and 90 cm) were evaluated using two varieties, wg-hi...

Limited water resources restrict winter wheat grain yield and quality in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain of North China, and establishing optimal planting patterns according to crop water requirements is the key factor for achieving rational water use. In this paper, 4 planting patterns were applied, namely, uniform row (30 cm; traditional pattern), wide (40 cm)-narrow (20 cm) row, furrow (double line...
