Integrated Weed Management in Canola (Brassica napus L.)

Ghodratollah Fathi

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Khoozestan University, Ahwaz in South of Iran during 2001-2 and 2002-3 to find out most effective control measure for weeds in canola (Brassica napu L). Terflan (2.5 kg/ha), terflan+ one cultivation, terflan+ two cultivations, terflan+ nabo-s (2 L/ha), terflan+ nabo-s +one cultivation, terflan+ nabo-s+ two cultivation, nabo-s + two cultivations, nabo-s+one cultivation, nabo-s, one cultivation, two cultivations were compared with weed-free and weedy check treatments. Treatments were replicated 4 times and were compared in a complete randomized block design. Malva sylvestris, Convolvulus arvensis and Atriplex patulum were the predominant weeds. Combining pre and post emergence herbicides with two cultivations effectively controlled weeds. Pre-emergence herbicide also provided desired control of weeds. With treatments dry weight and number of weeds was sharply reduced particulary C. arvensis and A. patulum. Inclusion of post-emergence weed-control measures with pre-emergence herbicide markedly improved WCE, yield attributes and grain yield. However, cultivations of weed proved most effective, followed by hand-weeding. The highest grain yield (3015.6 kg/ha), superior yield attributes, were recorded under terflan+ nabo-s+two cultivations. It can be concluded that cultivations was completed the effects of herbicides.

Effects of Different Water Stress Levels on Biomass Yield and Agronomic Traits of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Varieties under Semi-Arid Conditio

Erdal GONULAL, Suleyman SOYLU, Mehmet SAHIN

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N, 15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial design with four replications in the RCBD. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar (‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% (p < 0.01) and the protein yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% (p < 0.01) and 19.2% (p < 0.01), respectively. Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick treatment.
