Long-term research aimed to determine whether narrow row spacing and harvest weed seed destruction, in combination with herbicide use, would be sufficient to drive a Lolium rigidum population to extinction. A trial was run from 1987 to 2013, with treatments including crop row spacings of 9, 18, 27 or 36 cm and crop residue burning or retention. Herbicides were applied to reflect regional practi...

to evaluate the effect of row spacing and seed rate on grain yield and agronomical traits of common bean cultivars, a split factorial experiment based on the complete randomized block design with three replications was conducted at rice research institute of iran (rasht) in 2008 and 2009 cropping years. experimental treatments were row spacing in three levels of 20, 30 and 40 cm as main plot an...

The effect of row spacings and irrigation levels on the earliness of seed production of cotton was investigated under the Mediterranean environment of central Greece. This particular cotton growing area is exposed to risk of autumn rainfall that might cause low seed quality in fields allocated primarily for seed production. Two varieties of cotton, Celia and Hersi, were planted in two row spaci...

biological fertilizers can be suitable alternative to chemical fertilizers to increase soil fertility and crop production in sustainable agriculture. in order to evaluation of integrated application of bio-fertilizers and chemical fertilizers on on quantitative and qualitative yield of ajowan in strip intercropping, a field experiment was conducted in a factorial design based on randomized comp...

BACKGROUND: Deficit irrigation strategies were effective in saving volume of water. Potassium is an essential nutrient that affects most of the biochemical and physiological processes are involved in plant resistance to biotic and a biotic stresses. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to assess effect of different pattern of irrigation and several source...

in order to study the morphological, phenological and yield characteristics of 70 desi chickpea genotypes, a trial was conducted on 2007 in research farm of agriculture faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad. in this study, 70 desi chickpea genotypes from ferdowsi university of mashhad seed bank, were planted in plots without replication including one to four planting rows at maximum length ...

A field experiment and a laboratory experiment were conducted in 2011 to determine the effect of intensity of defoliation on yield of maize (Zea mays). The field experiment included seven defoliation intensities (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and whole leaves per plant) from top to bottom leaves. Seeds of the field experiment were used for the laboratory experiment. In the laboratory experiment, germinatio...

in order to evaluation of plant densities and row spacing effects on growth and yield of wheat, an experiment was conducted by using four plant densities (125, 250, 375 and 500 plants per m2),two row spacing (12.5 and 25 cm), in a randomized complete block design with three replicates in anbare-ololum reign in rainfed and saline conditions during 2008-2009. results showed that leaf area index (...
