Black polyethylene film mulches affect the activity of some nematicides (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). Other mulches also may influence the results of fumigat ion tests; for example, hay mulches, cause the soil to remain cooler (8). Salt-hay mulches are used by strawberry growers, many of whom fumigate. Mulches of grass clippings, wood chips, or leaf mold are used by homeowners. Clear plastic mulche...

The present field experiment was carried out during 2021-2022 at the Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. laid in Randomized Block Design with three replications nine treatments. investigation a view to study effect different mulching material on growth, yield quality watermelon. results revealed that pl...

Recent discovery of low concentrations of bromacil in drinking water prompted the State of Hawaii to examine the leaching behavior of bromacil in pineapple fields. This study is a follow up to earlier work on bromacil concentrations in soil profiles in a pineapple field in central Oahu, Hawaii. Soil samples were collected for bromacil analysis at different times prior to and after application f...

Plastic film mulching is a commonly used agricultural measure in arid/cold regions to improve crop growth. Despite previous studies on the impact of soil water/heat status and growth, it not clear how plastic colours perforations affect energy distribution, temperature, evaporation. Six sets column experiments were performed with three colours: transparent (T), black (B), silver-grey (G), two p...

Field experiments were conducted during 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides NICOSULFURON and EPTC alone or in combination with seed priming on weed control and corn yield. NICOSULFURON (80 g a.i. ha‒1) was applied at four- to six-leaf stage of corn as post-emergence and EPTC (4920 g a.i. ha‒1) applied as pre-plant incorporation (PPI). Among the herbicide treatments, the lowest ...

long –term use of some of insecticides on rice striped stem borer (chilo suppressalis walk.) and for the reason the urgency of use of new suspension insecticide an experiment carried out, in paddy fields under condition at rice research institute in rasht, iran.treatments were as follow;1-fipronilg in first generation 2-fipronil g. in second generation 3-fipronil sc in first generation 0.5 lit....

Practical and sustainable water management systems are needed in arid regions due to shortages climate change. Therefore, an experiment was initiated winter (WS) spring (SS), investigate integrating deficit irrigation, associated with partial root drying (PRD) soil mulching, under subsurface drip irrigation on squash yield, fruit quality, use efficiency (IWUE). Two mulching treatments, transpar...

the lack of herbicides for broadleaf weed control is one of the most important challenges of chickpea production in iran. field experiments were conducted in lorestan, kermanshah, east and west azerbaijan to evaluate weed control and chickpea response to application of some herbicides in 2006. there were four replications at each site and treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block ...

abstract three separate greenhouse experiments were conducted in the greenhouse facilities of the iranian plant protection research institute, tehran, to study the efficacy of some accase inhibiting herbicides for control of resistant based on mechanism, resistance based on enhanced metabolism and susceptible wild oat biotypes. in each experiment, biotypes were treated separately by 17 herbicid...
