A study was carried out over 2 years (2008/2009 and 2009/2010) in Greece, in order to evaluate the weed control using reduced rates of the herbicide mesosulfuron-methyl+iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium of four major weeds (Avena sterilis, Phalaris minor, Papaver rhoeas and Sinapis arvensis), grain yield and yield components of five wheat cultivars (Bob, Cosmodur, Meridiano, Quadrato and Simeto). The ...

Herbicide plays the main role in guaranteeing the quantity and quality of food. Soybean reactive oxygen species scavenging system eliminates the herbicides’ side effects on the plant by activating antioxidant enzymes, which affects the yield. So, we investigated this procedure to reveal the effect of herbicides on food production. Methods: Experiments were carried out in two locations of Alborz...

in order to study the effects of herbicide rates of metribuzin on nodulations and growth characteristics of chickpea, a series of experiments were carried out at research greenhouses of ferdowsi university of mashhad during 2009 in a randomized complete block design with four replications. studied factors were: different doses of metribuzin herbicide (10- 25- 50- 75- 100- 125 percent of recomme...

to evaluate the effect of reduced doses of foramsulfuron and nitrogen rates on weed biomass in corn field, an experiment was conducted using split plots arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications at research field of ferdowsi university of mashhad, in 2011. main plots were weed control levels comprising three reduced herbicide doses of foramsulfuron (50, 75, a...

Phalaris brachystachys is a common and troublesome weed in winter cereals in Mediterranean countries. A deterministic model was developed to simulate P. brachystachys seedbank dynamics in the wheat-sunflower rotation, a commonly practiced cropping system in southern Spain, under different herbicide-based management scenarios: no herbicide application, full herbicide dose (standard rate) and two...

The aim of this three-year field experiment was to determine how simplified (reduced) pre-planting tillage and different weed control methods impact the yield selected quality parameters spelt grain (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta L.). Conventional three variants reduced (RT) were tested. second experimental variable (weed control) had variants: mechanical (M), combined + chemical treatment at f...

in order to investigate the efficacy of split, reduced and whole rates of oxyfluorfen in controlling redroot pigweed (amarnthus retroflexus) and also to evaluate possible soybean (glycine max) injuries a experiment was conducted in research greenhouses of karaj collage of agriculture, university of tehran in 2005. treatments included oxyfluorfen doses at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 l/ha in one stage ...

in order to study the effects of corn density and planting pattern for reducing herbicide application, an experiment was carried out in 2007 at varamin research station of plant protection research institute. the experimental design was a randomized complete block in a split plot arrangement with 4 replications. experimental factors consisted of planting patterns at 4 levels included one row pl...

abstract leaving crop residues on the soil surface may significantly affect the behavior and activity of herbicides. to probe this effect, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted using two factors including different rates of wheat surface residue (0, 1250, 2500 and 3750 kg ha-1 ) and different rates of trifluralin (%48 ec) herbicide (7...
