Three separate experiments conducted to survey the response of two populations of common purslane weed collected from Karaj and Ahvaz on germination and early growth. The first experiment was based on 4 levels of flooding, including 1, 2, 4, 8 days plus non-flooding treatment as a control. Second experiment addressed the impact of various acidity levels, such as 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and finally...

In order to find the critical period of weed control, the best time of weed control beginning (i.e. herbicide application time), and the length of weed control period (i.e. herbicide persistency) in corn, field experiments were conducted in Bajgah and Kooshkak in Fars Province in 1995 using a randomized complete block design with 14 treatments and four replications. Treatments consisted of diff...

The chemical control of weeds raises serious concerns about food safety and environmental quality, which have necessitated the need for non chemical weed management techniques such as intercropping. Intercropping can suppress weeds and reduce the use of herbicides in production systems. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of intercropping of faba bean and maize, as...

The recent years' problems of herbicide use have led a growing number of researchers to seek alternative methods that are less reliant on herbicides. This research was conducted to determine the effect of long-term crop rotation, mineral fertilizer and herbicide on the weed infestation and grain yield of winter rye during 2004 and 2005 at the long-term experimental site of the University of Tim...

In order to study the intercropping of basil (Ocimum basiilicum L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata  L.) under different levels of nitrogen supply and weed competition conditions, a field experiment was carried out in split-split plot arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2010 and 2011 at Sari Agricultural Science and Natural Resources University. ...

Reduction of herbicide consumption is one of the goals of modern agriculture. Intercropping is an option to reduce growth and reproductive potential of weeds while maintaining agricultural system productivity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of bean and maize intercropping on weed control, economical yield of system and land use efficiency. Experiment was done at the Res...
