in order to evaluate the yield, yield components and protein contents of two wheat cultivars (zarrin and gaspard) in sole cropping and intercropping systems,an experiment was conducted using replacement serious technique and different combinations of intercropping with high plant density and optimal of each cultivar. a factorial experiment was conducted in the form of randomized complete block ...

Weaned V-line rabbits aged 6 weeks (n: 84), were randomly distributed into 7 experimental groups to evaluate barley, corn-cob meal (CCM), Alfalfa hay, berseem hay (Egyptian clover) and dried Faba bean straw (DFBS). The evaluation included chemical analysis and effects of substituting 30% CCM instate of barley as an energy source with Alfalfa hay, berseem hay, or DFBS each at 25% as a fiber sour...

The input of Nitrogen (N) through symbiotic N2 fixation (SNF) in grass-clover mixtures was determined in an organic cropping system for grazing during 3 years. The mixture of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.) was established by undersowing in spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and maintained subsequently for two production years. Dinitrogen fixation w...

this experiment was carried out at agricultural research station of gorgan during summer 2006 to study the effects of corn and green gram intercropping on forage yield, and weed biomass. the experimental design was rcbd with twelve treatments and four replications. a local green gram and corn single cross 550 were the crops employed. the experimental treatments consisted of sole corn and sole g...

An in vitro incubation system was used to evaluate effect of supplementation of fumaric acid at 0, 5, 10, and 15 mM concentration in high-, medium-, and low-fiber wheat straw containing total mixed diets with sorghum (Sorghum vulgare) and berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) on rumen fermentation, methane production, and gas kinetics parameters. Three types of diets were prepared with dif...

More than half of the Australian cropping land is no-tillage and weed control within continuous no-tillage agricultural cropping area is becoming more and more difficult. A major problem is that the heavy herbicide usage causes some of more prolific weeds becoming more resistant to the regular herbicides and therefore more powerful and more expensive options are being pursued. To overcome such ...

In organic horticulture, living mulches (LM) are used for weed suppression and erosion prevention. addition, leguminous LM can contribute to higher nitrogen (N) import into vegetable cultivation systems via biological N2 fixation (BNF). order investigate the effect of systems, a two- as well three-year field experiment was conducted between 2019 2021 at two locations in Southwest Germany.
