Intercropping, or the use of different aspects of the interaction between organisms in ecosystems, can be classified as an ecological method that limits harmful human interference in the environment, especially the consumption of chemicals. The impact of intercropping carrot with coriander Coriandrum sativum L. and summer savory Satureja hortensis L. on the occurrence of select carrot pests was...

For the enhancement of cultural control, the agricultural practices such as intercropping can profoundly affect the insect pest populations. Studies were undertaken to examine the effects of intercropping wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with canola (Brassica napus L.) on the incidence of aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) population and related crop yield. Study observed ...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of planting pattern and irrigation system on antioxidant activity of wheat and Persian clover. The experiment was carried out as a two-factor factorial with three replications. The first factor was irrigation system (conventional and partial root-zone irrigation) and the second was planting pattern (sole wheat, sole Persian clover, alterna...

Objective: For investigation of intercropping of maize and faba bean, an experiment was conducted in Research Station of Agriculture Faculty of Tabriz University during growing season of 2013. Methods: Experimental design was randomized complete block design with three replications and seven treatment. Treatments included one row intercropping (1:1), 4 strip intercropping pattern with ratios of...

in order to evaluate the yield and advantage of two- and three-species intercropping of sunflower with corn and soybean, an experiment was conducted at the research farm of faculty of agriculture of tabriz university in tabriz, iran 2011. the experiment was arranged based on randomized completely block design with 6 treatments and three replications. treatments were included the pure stand of s...

In order to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer levels and intercropping ratios on yield and other morphological traits of two crops, field experiments were conducted during two years (2010-2011) in the research field of the school of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. The study was carried out in a factorial experiment laid out based on a completely randomized block desig...

Neoplasm formation, a non-meristematic tissue growth on young field pea (Pisum sativum L.) pods is triggered in the absence of UV light and/or in response to oviposition by pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum L.). This trait is expressed in some genotypes [neoplastic (Np) genotypes] of P. sativum and has the capacity to obstruct pea weevil larval entry into developing seeds. In the present study, 26% o...
