to evaluate the yield and yield components in additive intercropping system of grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) and cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.) under limited irrigation condition, an experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran, during spring 2006. the experimental treatments were arranged in split plots based on a complete randomized block desig...

efficient use of natural and biological cycles such as nitrogen fixation by legumes may stimulate yield of non-legumes crops in an intercropped system. in order to evaluate spring barley (h) and annual alfalfa (m) intercropping, a study was conducted in the research field of university of tehran (located in karaj) during 2009-2010 growing season. in this research, a randomized complete block de...

introduction weeds are main factors reducing crops yield, especially under organic farming conditions (). it has been reported that weed populations are more in organic farming compared to conventional cropping systems, resulting in more reduction of growth and yield. although the chemical control is a fast and effective way for controlling weed populations, some negative impacts of the recent ...

introduction intercropping as a common method in sustainable agricultural systems, plays an important role in increasing productivity and yield stability to improve utilization of resources )alizadeh et al., 2010). studies in different countries showed that intercropping causes increase in diversity, production and more efficient use of water resources, land, labor and nutrients and also reduce...

Of the several mechanisms that can bring about efficient resource use, the most widelyapplicable one is intercropping systems that can make better use of resources. The aim of thisstudy was to evaluate resource capture and resource use efficiency in transgenic cotton-peanutintercropping system and in their respective sole crops with using 25-50% substitution ofrecommended dose of nitrogen (RDN)...

intercropping is considered as a method for increasing yield per unit and stability. in order to evaluate the effects of phosphorous biofertilizer and chemical phosphorous on fodder quality of corn (zea mays l.) and grass pea (lathyrus sativa l.) intercropping, two field experiments were conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at two places simult...

in order to evaluate the effects of different planting dates and biological fertilizers on yield, yield components and essential oil content in cumin (cuminum cyminum) and fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum) intercropping, an experiment was conducted in a split-plot factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of ferdowsi university of m...
