Herbicide application has long been considered the most efficient weed control method in agricultural production worldwide. However, long-term use of agrochemicals numerous negative effects on crops and environment. Bearing mind these impacts, EU strategy for withdrawing many herbicides from use, modern market demands healthy safe food, there is a need developing new effective, sustainable, eco...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of winter crops residues on weed control, physiological indices, yield and yield components of potato. an experiment was carried out at the research farm of colleg of agricultural of bu-ali sina university in 2009. the experiment was a randomized complete block design with three replications. residues of rye, oilseed rape, triticale, barley, ...

The smart sprayer, a local-vision-sensor-based precision chemical application system, was developed and tested. The long-term objectives of this project were to develop new technologies to estimate weed density and size in real-time, realize site-specific weed control, and effectively reduce the amount of herbicide applied to major crop fields. This research integrated a real-time machine visio...

crop residue is a non-chemical method of weed control in agricultural sustainable systems. this research was conducted at the alarogh site of ardabilto evaluate the effect of integrated use of mulch and herbicide on weed emergence and growth in potato in 2007. treatments were four levels herbicide including: (1) paraquat [n,n'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride] herbicide as pre-pl...

ABSTRACT-Several herbicides are registered for selective weed control in sugar beet; however, no single chemical herbicide can control all weeds in beet fields. Frequently, two or more herbicides may have to be combined sequentially or as tank mixed to achieve adequate broad-spectrum weed control. In order to evaluate the effects of some combinations of broadleaf herbicides on sugar beet yield ...
