This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulses are considered as life blood of agriculture because they occupy a unique position almost in all cropping systems as main, catch, cover, green manure, intercrop and its inclusion in crop rotation, thereby, kept the soil alive and productive. They enrich the soil fertility in terms of addition of organic matter and nitrogen through biological nitrogen fixation through Rhizobia. India is the largest producer and consumer of pulses in the world, contributing around 25% of the total global production. Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important popular pulse crop of India. Weeds are big constraints in crop production and responsible for heavy yield losses. It is well known fact that weeds are the biggest menace for crops. Herbicides used alone or in combination with other weed management techniques reduce weed crop competition and the risk of weeds growing unchecked in period of adverse weather or soil condition. Taking note of the facts highlighted above, a field experiment was conducted to evaluate integrated weed management practices in field pea.

Download or read book Non Chemical Weed Control written by Khawar Jabran and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Chemical Weed Control is the first book to present an overview of plant crop protection against non-food plants using non-chemical means. Plants growing wild—particularly unwanted plants found in cultivated ground to the exclusion of the desired crop—have been treated with herbicides and chemical treatments in the past. As concern over environmental, food and consumer safety increases, research has turned to alternatives, including the use of cover crops, thermal treatments and biotechnology to reduce and eliminate unwanted plants. This book provides insight into existing and emerging alternative crop protection methods and includes lessons learned from past methodologies. As crop production resources decline while consumer concerns over safety increase, the effective control of weeds is imperative to insure the maximum possible levels of soil, sunlight and nutrients reach the crop plants. - Allows reader to identify the most appropriate solution based on their individual use or case - Provides researchers, students and growers with current concepts regarding the use of modern, environment-friendly weed control techniques - Presents methods of weed management—an important part of integrated weed management in the future - Exploits the knowledge gained from past sustainable weed management efforts

Download or read book NITROGEN CYCLING AND WEED DYNAMICS IN A PEA COVER CROP SWEET CORN ROTATION written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of cover crops on N and weed dynamics was assessed within a pea (Pisum sativum L.) cover crop sweet corn (Zea mays L.) rotation. Cover crops of oat (Avena sativa L.), perennial rye (rye) (Secale cereale L.), oilseed radish (OSR) (Raphanus sativus L. var. oleoferus Metzg Stokes), and OSR plus perennial rye (OSR+rye) increased plant available N (PAN) over the cover crop growing season compared to the no cover control at the Bothwell site only. However, at neither site did cover crops result in increased PAN for the sweet corn, indicating that these cover crops will not reduce required N fertilizer applications. Also, cover crops posed neither an increased or decreased need for weed management during sweet corn production. However, OSR may be useful in pesticide reduced programs due to its potential ability to reduce fall herbicide applications, provided it does not set viable seed.
Download or read book Seed health in organic peas and faba beans and management approaches to improve pea production in organic rotations written by Muhammad Farhan Saeed and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peas (Pisum sativum L.) and faba beans (Vicia Faba L.) are important cool season legume crops, highly nutritious and used for soil fertility management in rotation systems for ecological N enrichment of fields. A survey of organic pea and faba bean seeds in organic agriculture from 2009 to 2012 indicates that seed-borne pathogens (Ascochyta blight complex and Fusarium spp.) are common but not high. The relationship between the seedlot infestation or environmental factors and infestation levels of the harvested seeds were weak pointing to the importance of soil-borne and potentially also wind borne inoculum. In past several cultural practices were studied singly and found partially effective. In this thesis the effects of a management approach combining biofumigation cover crops, mixed cropping and reduced tillage was tested for its effects on pea health under organic field conditions. Field trials were established twice on different fields with differencing in their soil types from 2009-2012. Different weather conditions also influenced the system performance. In both runs weeds were reduced by 50 % in the mixtures compared to the pure stands of peas. Reductions of pea yields due to reduced tillage were statistically significant in 2011 (29 %) but reduction was non significant in 2010 (21 %). Reductions due to mixing with oats were 30 % in 2010 and >50 % in 2011. Brassica cover crops had variable effects on yields and no differing effects on pea diseases. Nitrogen leftovers were low after all treatments. In 2010-11, wheat performed better after peas, but not in 2011-2012 in the overall better soil. Pea-oat intercropping at low seed rate with reduced tillage can be a useful tool to suppress weeds due to a more efficient use of available N resources and competition against weeds by oats. Reduced tillage with mixed cropping has no detrimental effects on pea root health but may reduce infestation of aphids. Conclusions about the effects of this system with reduced tillage should only be drawn from longer-term experiments, however, as it is known that major changes will occur in soils for several years after changing tillage practices. http://www.uni-kassel.de/fb11agrar/en/sections/oekologischer-pflanzenschutz/research/dissertationen.html
