the performance of different yield loss models from an exponential family was evaluated in safflower-redroot pigweed systems in two field experiments conducted during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons at the research field of agricultural college of shiraz university, iran. the yield loss of safflower was recorded as relative yield loss in experimental plots laid out in split plot design with three...

In complex task domains, such as games, students may exceed their teachers. Such tasks afford diverse means to tradeoff one type of performance for another, combining task elements in novel ways to yield method variations and strategy discoveries that, if mastered, might produce large or small leaps in performance. For the researcher interested in the development of extreme expertise in the wil...

in order to study of nitrogen effect on critical period of weed control in sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) in birjand region, a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted with 24 treatments and 3 replications in research farm of college of agriculture of birjand university in 2010. the main factor was three levels of nitrogen (0, 100 and 200 kg.ha-1) and the ...

carcass yield is important economical parameters for producers and contributors of meat science. in the present study, carcass yield and also the weight losses resulted post mortem until consumption were investigated. the mean values of cold carcass and hot carcass weight were 15.63 and 15.33, the mean value of cooling loss was 1.87% and average value of hot and cold efficiency were 41.44% and ...

grain yield loss in rice (oryza sativa l.) caused by blast disease, magnaporthe grisea (hebert) barr, is a major concern of rice growers worldwide. blast is considered as the most injurious disease of rice in iran, resulting in severe loss especially to susceptible rice cultivars. in order to assess yield loss caused by blast pathogen and develop an appropriate model, different disease onsets a...

in order to determine the critical period of weed control (cpwc) in corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete blocks design with 14 treatments and three replications during 2013 growing season in the nahavand climatic conditions. two series of the treatments including weed-free and weed-infested were applied in the regular time distances of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 an...

abstract in order to evaluate the influence of nitrogen application and duration of weed interference on corn (zea mays l.) yield and yield components, a field study was conducted in 2004 at the ferdowsi university of mashhad research field. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with a factorial treatment arrangement replicated three times. nitrogen fertilizer was applied at r...

abstract use of empirical competition models is one of approaches in integrated weed management strategies. in order to investigation of this approach in simulation of yield loss of bean (phaseolus vulgari. l.) caused by jimson weed (datura stramonium l.) interference, an experiment was conducted in national bean research station, in khomein, in 2007. the experiment design was randomized comple...

introduction lentil (lens culinaris medik.) is an important legume in the mediterranean area. high protein content in lentil seed (about 22-28%) makes it as a good food source for developing countries and low-income people. in the west of iran such as kermanhah province, it is the most important pulse in rainfed systems cultivated traditionally in rotation with wheat and barley. lentil is grown...
