in order to investigate chemical control of weeds in nursery of orange coneflower and moss rose two experiments were conducted in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications in 2011. treatments were per-plant trifluralin (ec48 percent) with and without incorporation with soil at 0.2 and 0.3 ml/m2, per-emergence and post-emergence oxyfluorfen (ec24 percent) at 0.2 and 0.3 ml/m...

Weed seed persistence in the soil seedbank is central to weed population dynamics; however, limited knowledge of mechanisms regulating seed survival in soil remains an obstacle to developing seed-bank management practices. Weed seeds are rich in carbon and nitrogen, and therefore may represent an important nutritional resource to soil microbes. The objective of this study was to test the hypoth...

Malva dendromorpha, European tree mallow, has not previously been described as a serious environmental weed. Over the last two to three decades tree mallow has invaded seabird nesting islands off the West Australian coast, growing in dense clumps to 3m tall and outcompeting native perennial species including Malva australiana, the Australian native hollyhock. As a result of excessive growth of ...

increasing water use efficiency is one of the cases to arrivance to the stability production. in order to estimation and comparison of water use efficiency among crop species including corn, safflower, sesame ,and medicinal species including hemp, marsh mallow, white mallow. an experiment was conducted during 2009 growing seasons in the agriculture research station ferdowsi of mashhad. the expe...

The study assessed changes in nutritional content of some commonly consumed traditional vegetables subjected to postharvest processes. Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.), black nightshade (Solanum scabrum Mill.) and jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) leaves used as vegetables were subjected to blanching, boiling and drying. The proximate composition and β-carotene content of fresh and processe...

Jew's mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) leaves powder was added to rice flour at levels of 0% to 5% and extruded in single screw extruder to produce healthy extrudates. Process variables (feed moisture, feed rate, screw speed and temperature) were kept constant. The effects of adding Jew's mallow leaves on functional properties, color attributes, some phytochemicals contents, antioxidant activity...

in order to study the effect of mallow weed competition and nitrogen (n) rates on grain yield and yield components of wheat cv. chamran, a field experiment was conducted in 2009. the experiment was designed as a split-plot with three replications and additive series. the n application rates were assigned in the main-plots (50, 100, 150 and 200 kg.n.ha-1) and sub-plots consisted of target common...
