Abstract Hospital wastewaters are produced in large volumes Pakistan (?362–745 L/bed.day) and discharged without proper treatment. They widely used by farmers for crop irrigation induce a phytotoxic effect on plant growth. The study was conducted to evaluate the of untreated treated hospital wastewater seed germination fodder Trifolium alexandrinum (Berseem clover) food Solanum lycopersicum (to...

in order to study the effects of different sowing dates by some of companion crops on the weeds control, morphological traits and yield of corn sc 504, a field experiment was carried out of research field at tabriz university during 2010 growing season. treatments were arranged in a factorial experiment using randomized complete blocks design with three replicatins. factors was include four lev...

corn–soybean cropping systems predominate. The effect of these cropping systems on indicators of soil quality Understanding long-term management effects on soil properties is only partially understood. Soil organic C has been is necessary to determine the relative sustainability of cropping systems. Soil physical, chemical, and biological properties were measured shown to increase in monocultur...

to compare the quantity and quality of forge production in intercropping systems with maize, pinto bean and pumpkin, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at faculty of agricultural science, university of guilan, during 2012 growing season. the treatments consisted of maize, pinto bean and naked pumpkin sole cropping, maize – pinto bean an...

Weed management systems that rely less on chemical control are needed globally. Next to curative chemical weed control, there are other ways of tackling weed problems, such as (a) reduction of the weed seed bank in the soil, (b) reduced recruitment of weed seeds from the soil seed bank, and (c) strengthening the relative competitive ability of the crop. A number of case studies are presented in...

Weed management is an important consideration in implementing new cropping systems. In the semi-arid region of the Pacific Northwest, grower interest is increasing in no-till spring cropping systems because of wind erosion from traditional winter wheat Triticum aestivum L./dust-mulch fallow (WWF). However, no-till represents a major shift in production practices and is likely to produce new wee...

Previous studies have suggested that phenolics from legume green manures may contribute to weed control through allelopathy. The objective of this study was to determine how decomposition of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) residue affects phytotoxicity to a weed species, wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.). Red clover (1.25 g), 30 g acid washed sand, and 5 ml of microbial inoculant were incub...

Kura clover (Trifolium ambiguumM. Bieb.) grown in monoculture is difficult to harvest mechanically because of its decumbent growth habit, and legumes in general have poor ensiling characteristics. Our objectives were to assess forage yield, nutritive value, and silage characteristics of kura clover–winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) mixtures to determine usefulness as a silage crop. ‘Cardinal’...
