ABSTRACT- Crop residue is applied to amend soil properties and increase crop yield. In this study, the effects of rapeseed residues and different rates of nitrogen on grain yield and yield components of sunflower and weed dry matter were investigated. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, located at Badjgah, Shiraz, Iran in 2007-2008...

a field study was conducted to determine the integration of split n fertilization and herbicide application on weed management and wheat (triticum aestivum l.) yield in shiraz, iran, in 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 growing seasons. the experimental design was split plot with four replications. main factors consisted of n timing and splitting, and sub plots included iodosulfuron–methyl–sodium plus me...

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of strip cropping and different weed control methods on the yield and yield structure of dent maize, narrow-leafed lupin and spring oat. A split-plot design with four replications was conducted in 2008-2010. The following factors were analysed in the experiment: I. Cultivation method – sole cropping and strip cropping; II. Weed control method ...

Field experiment was conducted at KPK Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan to find out the effect of planting methods on the yield and yield components of maize varieties. Analysis of the data revealed that planting methods had a significant effect on days to tasseling, days to silking, plant height, number of plants ha at harvest, thousand grain weight, grain yield, biological yield, fr...

A reduction in herbicide use is one of modern agriculture’s main interests and several alternatives are being investigated with this objective, including intercropping. Gliricídia (Gliricidia sepium) mulch has no allelopathic effect on corn or beans but significantly decreased the population of some weed species. The objective of this study was to evaluate green ear and grain yield in corn cult...

In order to evaluate the impact of crop residues (zero, 25 and 50%) and nitrogen (zero, 125 and 250 kg ha) on weed seed bank and potato yield, two-years research was conducted as a split plot arranged in randomized complete block design in Rozveh Agriculture Research Station, Freidan-Esfahan. Numbers of weed species in seed bank, aboveground, and both seed bank and aboveground were 1, 2 and...

The mungbean production area is increasing in Australia due to increasing demand for the grain in Asian countries. However, the mungbean crop is generally grown with wide row spacing, and therefore, it is prone to heavy weed infestation which has a significant impact on the mungbean grain yield. Experiments were conducted in 2015 and 2016 to determine the row-spacing impact on crop yield and we...

in order to determine the responses of morphological characteristics, yield and yield components of rapeseed (brassica napus l.) to plant density and weed interference duration, a factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at the rice research institute of iran (rrii) in rasht, in the 2008 growing season. the factors comprised plant density a...
