a four - year field experiment (1999-2002) was conducted on a silty clay loam soil at laklak research field of hamedan to determine the effects of crop residue management and plowing depth on soil fertility and wheat yield in a maize-wheat rotation. in this investigation, four corn residue managements were used consisting of 1) stalk shredding by maize stalk shredder 2) stalk shredding by disk ...

mulches often use for weed control, hold soil moisture, decrease soil temperature, soil fertility, soil conservation, soil against rain and soil quality in organic farming. a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different wheat residue and sunflower densities on sunflower growth and yield during 2007 growing season at the research field of birjand university. the experimenta...

introduction integrated nutrient management involving crop residue/green manures and chemical fertilizer is potential alternative to provide a balanced supply of nutrients, enhance soil quality and thereby sustain higher productivity. the present experiment was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different crop residue management practices and npk levels on yield components and yield of wheat....

abstract this study was conducted under cold climate condition in khorasan during 2006-2008 growing seasons to evaluation of soil fertility in wheat-based double cropping systems under different rate of nitrogen and return of crop residues. a randomized complete block design with split-split plot arrangement and three replicates was used. main plots were five crop rotations namely: wheat-wheat,...

one method of seed placement into the soil as regards no-till system is the use of punch planting by which one can plant through a considerable depth of surface residue. the study was conducted using a 2?3 split-plot experimental design of three replications. the factors considered were two types of plantes (conventional planter vs. hinging pneumatic punch planter) and three levels of wheat res...

Unweathered crop residues can produce growth-inhibiting substances, stimulate pathogen growth, and immobilize nutrients. The location of seed relative to residue may be an important factor in the early health of a crop. This greenhouse study simulated sowing conditions possible under annual dryland winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production to evaluate the likelihood of inhibitory effects. ...

A microplot experiment was conducted in soybean–wheat cropping system at New Delhi during 2010-11 and 2011-12 to study the effect of continuous or cyclic tillage, viz., conventional tillage (CT) and zero-tillage (ZT) and residue management of either soybean (SR) and/or wheat (WR) on yield performance and soil physico-chemical properties. The experiment was laid out in randomized block desi...

field experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of wheat residues and different densities of sunflower in weed control during 2007 growing season. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with three replications. the experiment was set up in factorial arrangement, amount of 0, 1250, 2500, 3750, 5000 kg ha-1 of wheat residue and burning of residue (5000 kg ha-1) were the lev...

a trial study was carried out to assess the influence of the plant residue management in conjuction with application of different nitrogen sources on wheat yield and components, at the agricultural faculty of shahidchamran university of ahvaz during 2011-2012.the experimental design was splitplot at randomized completed block design arrangement. the main plot were different wheat residue manage...

the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of addition of pulses in crop sequences, crop residue management, and application of fertilizer n on soil nitrogen content, soil organic carbon, nutrient uptake, and its consequences for wheat yields. the field experiments were carried out from 2009 to 2012 in the sub-humid and sub-tropical zone of northern india. the treatments were (i...
