abstract- in this study, effect of deficit irrigation with different salinity levels and planting methods (in-furrow and on-ridge) on nutrient and toxic ions uptake by rapeseed was investigated in a two-year experiment. the experiment was conducted at research station, located in the college of agriculture, shiraz university, i.r. of iran. results indicated that an increase in water stress leve...

In the 1990’s, the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) initiated a domestication programme of indigenous fruit trees (IFTs) in Southern Africa to increase farmhousehold income through farmer-led tree planting and thus conserve bio-diversity. From the farmer's point of view planting domesticated IFTs is an investment under uncertainty and irreversibility. As timing of planting is flexible, real op...

The effects of alachlor (2.25 kg a.i./ha) and fenamiphos (2.25 kg a.i./ha) on the penetration and development of Heterodera glycines were examined on Glycine max cultivars Deltapine 105 planted 29 April, 29 May, and 29 June 1986 and Deltapine 105 and Centennial planted 15 May, 15 June, and 15 July 1987. Penetration was lowest on the third planting of soybeans and on fenamiphos-treated plants. D...

Field experiments were conducted in Stoneville, MS, to determine the impact of soybean planting date and maturity group on stink bug (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) populations. Maturity group IV and V soybeans were planted on three planting dates in 2003 and 2004. Planting dateswere lateMarchÐearlyApril, lateAprilÐearlyMay, and lateMayÐearly June. Plotswere sampled weekly with a standard 38.1-cm-d...

Early planting of bambara groundnuts (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc) in the southern Africa enables farmers to fetch premium prices before the markets are flooded with produce from the main summer growing period. However, adaptation of the crop outside the main growing season has not been studied in Zimbabwe. Therefore, this study evaluated 20 varieties at four planting dates covering contrasting ...

Neotephritisfinalis (Loew) (Diptera: Tephritidae), and sunflower bud moth, Suleima helianthana (Riley) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) are major head-infesting insect pests of cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). Planting date was evaluated as a cultural pest management strategy for control of N. finalis and S. helianthana in several production regions of North Dakota during 2009 and 2010. R...

Management plan model of agricultural planting information technology research and application of design system for agricultural production and digital has important theoretical and practical significance of agricultural planting. The study concluded, extracted the relevant agricultural planting design theory and technology research based on the show, applying the system analysis principle and ...

Low density plantings complemented by natural regeneration is an increasingly common reforestation technique to ensure growth of a sufficient number of trees from desired species while maintaining natural processes such as succession. One such form of low density planting that aims at lowering establishment costs—oak clusters—has been developed as an alternative to row planting since the 1980s ...

In a three year study, IOOderate and severe root pruning just before planting was compared to no root pruning, on two size classes of seedlings (smaller and larger than average). Seedlings were bar planted in holes the full depth of the planting bar blade. For the smaller seedlings, survival was 1.0 percentage point higher for moderate pruning and 5.6 points lower for severe pruning compared to...

A field trial was conducted at the research farm of RRL, Jorhat during 1995 and 1996 to study the performance of Mentha Piperita under varying dates of planting and row spacings, maximum herbage and oil yield were obtained from January plants crops. Yield deceased when planting was delayed planting at a closer row spacing of 45 cm recorded the maximum herbage yield of 61'92 q/a while the yield ...
