in order to study the effects of cropping systems and mulch application in relay intercropped styrian pumpkin (cucurbita pepo l.) with chickpea (cicer arietinum l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during growing s...

in order to evaluate radiation capture and use efficiency and productivity in sole and intercropping of three crops, rapeseed (brassica napus l.), bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted in mashhad region during the growing season of 2007-2008. in this study six treatments including three sole cropping of the crops (rapeseed sown in 22 september 2007, co...

Relay intercropping represents an alternative for sustainable production of vegetables, but the changes of internally antioxidant defense combined with the growth and yield are not clear. Field experiment was carried out to investigate the malondialdehyde (MDA) content and activity levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase ...

Soil sickness is a critical problem for eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) under continuous cropping that affects sustainable eggplant production. Relay intercropping is a significant technique on promoting soil quality, improving eco-environment, and raising output. Field experiments were conducted from September 2010 to November 2012 in northwest China to determine the effects of relay intercrop...

Cereal crops especially maize production in Ethiopian Central Rift Valley is affected by biotic and abiotic production. This study was conducted for two seasons (2015-2016) the best cropping system identified using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The experiment had six treatments (1) Continuous mono-cropping under conventional practice (CN), (2) continuous mono conserv...

Sustainable intensification of cropping systems is a strategy to increase productivity and reduce disservices conventional agroecosystems. Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) are winter annual oilseed crops well suited fill the fallow period between corn (Zea mays soybean [Glycine max Merr.] in U.S. northern Corn Belt, but resources use could limit their...

Legume seeds are often sown on standing rice crops a few weeks before harvest (relay cropping). Seeds cannot germinate in waterlogged soil under relay sowing as oxygen is depleted. However, may survive waterlogging if the can initiate anaerobic respiration, have large seed reserve such carbohydrates, perform slow water uptake during imbibition and small size. An example of crop that respiration...
