Due to the great losses caused by weeds to the crop, it is necessary to continue testing new herbicides that may be more efficient than the herbicides used that can reduce competition between weeds and crops, Therefore, a field experiment was carried out in the experimental field of the Department of Field Crops, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Baghdad (Al-Jadriya) during the winter season of 2021-22 in order to evaluate the efficiency of the herbicide H-199 and compare it with some herbicides used in controlling companion weed to three cultivars of wheat and its effect in the yield and its components. The experiment was applied according to the randomized complete block design with split-plot arrangement with four replicates, as the cultivars (IPA 99, Sham 6 and Rasheed) represented the main plots, while the herbicides (H-199, Chevalier, Pallas, Atlantis, and weedy treatment) represented the sub-plots. The results showed the superiority of Pallas by giving the best results, it gave the lowest weed density after 30, 60 and 90 days of application the herbicide, which amounted to 0.2, 4.3 and 0.2 plants/m2, respectively, and the highest weed control percentage amounted to 99.85%, compared with the control treatment, which gave the highest weed density (116.3, 171.0 and 168.7 plants/m2) and the lowest weed control percentage (0.00%), which was reflected in the yield components. Pallas gave the highest number of spikes, the highest number of grains per spike, the highest grain yield, and the highest harvest index, which reached 314.6 spikes/m2, 55.99 grains/spike, 4.597 t/ha and 32.08%, respectively, compared with the weedy that gave the lowest number of spikes (122.7 spikes/m2), the lowest number of grains per spike (33.87 grains/spike), the lowest grain yield (0.937 t/ha) and the lowest harvest index (19.69%). Moreover, Atlantis gave the highest weight of 1000 grains, which was 26.35 g, compared with the weedy treatment. which gave the lowest weight of 1000 grains (22.80 g), The results also showed the superiority of the Sham 6 cultivar, as it gave the lowest weed density, the highest number of spikes, the highest weight of 1000 grains, the highest grain yield and the highest harvest index. We conclude that Pallas and Sham 6 (cultivar) recorded the best results.
A rapid and sensitive method for analysis of amino acid hydrolysates of nigella sativa L seed has been developed using O-phthaldialehyde(OPA ) as a pre-column derivatizing agent. OPA reagents in the presence of mercaptoethanol react rapidly with primary amino acids ( less than 60 sec.) to form isindole derivatives which easily separated with good selectivity on ODS column. Resolution of amino acid derivatives is carried out with a methanol gradient in 0.01 maqueous sodium acetate. pH 7.1 . The quantitation of amino acid derivatives is reproducible within an average relative deviation of + 1.4% the linearity for most amino acids were more than 0.9993 with detection limit of 0.2 ppm. 15 amino acid were detected in the analysis of
... Show Morerop simulation models play a pivotal role in evaluating irrigation management strategies to improve water use in agriculture. The aim of this study is to verify the validity of the Aquacrop model of maize under the surface and sprinkler irrigation systems, and a cultivation system, borders and furrows, and for two varieties of Maze (Fajr and Drakma) At two different sites in Iraq, Babylon and Al-Qadisiyah governorates. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of the Aquacrop model in simulating canopy cover (CC), biomass (B), dry yield, harvest index (HI), and water productivity (WP). The results of RMSE, R2, MAE, d, NSE, CC, Pe indicated good results and high compatibility between measured and simulated values. The highest a
... Show MoreEnvironmentally friendly copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were prepared with a green synthesis route via Anchusa strigosa L. Flowers extract. These nanoparticles were further characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM techniques. Removing of Gongo red from water was applied successfully by using synthesized CuO NPs which used as an adsorbent material. It was validated that the CuO NPs eliminate Congo red by means of adsorption, and the best efficiency of adsorption was gained at pH (3). The maximum adsorption capacity of CuO NPs for Congo red was observed at (35) mg/g. The equilibrium information for adsorption have been outfitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Halsey adsorption isot

The calculations have been performed under the framework of density functional theory supported by Habbured parameter (DFT+U). Structural analysis demonstrates that the recorded lattice constants is in good coherence with the previously published results. For the lattice parameters, contraction by 1.33% comparing with the host system has been reported. Furthermore, the doping effect of TM on the band gap leads to its reduction in the resulting Hf0.75TM0.25O2 configurations. The partial density of states (PDOS) indicate that hybridization through localized electroni
