A field experiment was carried out during the 2017-18 cropping season at Jinka Agricultural Research Center on station, South Omo zone, Southern Ethiopia, to determine suitable legumes in cassava legume intercropping yield and land use efficiency of both crops. The consisted 7 treatments (cassava with haricot bean, cowpea, pigeon pea as intercrop compared cassava, cowpea sole) laid RCBD three r...

in order to evaluate intercropping of summer savory (satureja hortensis l.) and persian clover (trifolium resupinatum l.), an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2004 growing season. treatments were sole cropping of persian clover (eight rows), double-row intercropping of persian clover and summer savory with 27, 40 and 80 plants.m-2 (e...

in order to evaluation the effect of mixed cropping on yield and agronomical characteristics of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) varieties, a field experiment based on a randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at city of mahvelat in khorasan razavi province, iran, during growing season of 2007-2008. treatments including five sole cultures of conventional wheat cultiv...

Weed control through crop rotation has mainly been studied in a nonspatial context. However, weed seeds are often spread beyond the crop field by a variety of vectors. For weed control to be successful, weed management should thus be evaluated at the landscape level. In this paper we assess how seed dispersal affects the interactions between crop rotation and landscape heterogeneity schemes wit...

Experiments comparing conventional and organic systems often report similar yields despite substantially higher weed abundance in the organic systems. A potential explanation for this observation is that weed– crop competition relationships differ between the two types of systems. We analysed weed and crop yield data from the Rodale Institute Farming Systems Trial (FST), which provides a unique...

in order to evaluate intercropping of soybean (glycine max l. cv. jk) with sweet basil (ocimum basilicum l.) and borage (borago officinalis l.) with weed interference, an experiment was performed in randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at a field located 10 km of shirvan during year of 2011. the treatments were included 75% soybean: 25%sweet basil, 50%soybe...
