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...

Manual weed control in mustard is very expensive because of its high labour requirement i.e., 150-250 labourers/ha. Chemical again imposes environmental hazards. Mechanical not still that popular till date. Due to severe competition, the yield reduction Indian may go as 70 per cent. Thus zero using high-density sowing (HDS) was studied different farmers’ field, at ICAR-CRIJAF, North 24 PGS 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...

geostatistical techniques were used to describe the spatial distribution of weeds, under conventional management conditions and theirs effect on wheat biomass production over the course of one growing season (2008-2009), in a wheat (triticum aestivum l.) field at research station of shahrood university, iran. weeds seedling were identified and counted at 121 points of field based on two interva...

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...

In order to reduce herbicide application an intelligent sprayer boom is being developed. It only sprays with herbicides if the weed infestation exceeds a certain weed control threshold. The estimation of leaf cover of weeds through image analysis is a prerequisite for the weed management model of the intelligent sprayer boom. Destructive and human perception methods of leaf cover estimation are...

to study the effects of applied nitrogen levels and wild mustard densities on the growth of wheat and wild mustard, a field experiment was conducted at re-search and experimental field of islamic azad university of ahvaz-iran. the effects of three nitrogen levels namely 90, 150 and 210 kg.ha-1 and four wild mustard densities such as 0, 5, 10 and 15 plants.m-2 were evaluated in split plot arrang...
