Book Fundamentals of Weed Science

Download or read book Fundamentals of Weed Science written by Robert L Zimdahl and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-08-09 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses herbicides and their use as an important aspect of modern weed management and strives to place them in an ecological framework. Many weed scientists believe agriculture is a continuing struggle with weeds--without good weed control, good and profitable agriculture is impossible. Each agricultural discipline sees itself as central to agriculture's success and continued progress, and weed science is no exception. While not denying the importance of weed management to successful agriculture, this book places it in a larger ecological context. The roles of culture, economics, and politics in weed management are also discussed, enabling scientists and students to understand the larger effects on society. Information on New herbicides included, along with the old herbicides that are important for understanding the history New section on weed resistance to herbicides and genetic engineering New information on invasive plants Expanded chapters on Biological Control, Pesticide Legislation and Regulation, Weed Management Systems, and more Instructor resources can be found at http://textbooks.elsevier.com/web/Login.aspx, and it is password protected. Please contact your sales representative at [email protected] for access to the instructor resources. The insturctor site consists of chapter questions, essay questions, an exam and images from the book

Book Tillage System and Planting Date Effects on Corn  Zea Mays L   and Soybean  Glycine Max L   Yield

Download or read book Tillage System and Planting Date Effects on Corn Zea Mays L and Soybean Glycine Max L Yield written by Mario Perez-Bidegain and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although tillage systems produce different soil conditions, which result in different ideal planting dates, and crops respond to planting date, most of tillage research is conducted based on a calendar date. If a tillage system by planting date interaction exists, most of the planting date recommendations based on calendar date research could change. Different authors have modified surface residue distribution in an attempt to achieve optimal soil conditions for crop growth in the row zone while maintaining optimum soil conservation conditions in the mulched interrow zone. A reasonable goal for soil management involves identifying the level of soil and residue disturbance necessary to optimize soil environmental conditions for the corn plant and residue cover for soil conservation. In order to design a tillage system that produces a residue-free band-width based on site-specific soil properties and crop needs, the use of a model to capture the effect of surface residue management, soil non-uniformities (i.e., row zone tillage), and tillage is necessary. Considering a potential tillage by planting date interaction and site-specific strip tillage opportunities, this thesis has the following objectives. The first objective is to test the performance of strip tillage, no tillage, and conventional tillage when each system is planted on the day that optimum soil temperature and water conditions for planting are reached for each system. The second objective is to conduct a soil temperature sensitivity analysis to residue-free band-width, and tillage depth with strip tillage using a model that couples water and heat transport in non-uniform soils. In a two-year study on a poorly drained soil tillage system, effects on corn yield were not detected when preestablished soil temperature and water content criteria were used to determine the day of planting each system. On the other hand, planting date has an effect on corn yield. A tillage system by planting date interaction was detected for soybean yield in one of two years, when drought conditions existed during the second half of July and August. Soil temperature, soil water content, and matric potential were most sensitive to changes in residue-free band-width at 0.05-m in both soils studied.

Book excerpt: Maize is a staple cereal after wheat and rice. It is an important source of carbohydrate, protein, iron, vitamin B and minerals for many poor people in the world. In developing countries maize is a major source of income in resource-poor farmers. As maize is used both as silage and as crop residue and the grains of maize are usually used for food, starch and oil extraction industrially, the demand for maize is rising day by day. Therefore, it is imperative for improvement of maize to meet the increasing demand. This book entitled "Maize - Production and Use" highlights the importance of maize and the improved management approaches for improving the productivity of maize in the era of changing climate.

Book Rainfed Farming Systems

Download or read book Rainfed Farming Systems written by Philip Tow and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 1324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While a good grasp of the many separate aspects of agriculture is important, it is equally essential for all those involved in agriculture to understand the functioning of the farming system as a whole and how it can be best managed. It is necessary to re-assess and understand rain-fed farming systems around the world and to find ways to improve the selection, design and operation of such systems for long term productivity, profitability and sustainability. The components of the system must operate together efficiently; yet many of the relationships and interactions are not clearly understood. Appreciation of these matters and how they are affected by external influences or inputs are important for decision making and for achieving desirable outcomes for the farm as a whole. This book analyses common rain-fed farming systems and defines the principles and practices important to their effective functioning and management.
