This research was conducted to assess the effects of management and environmental factors on the weed species richness of winter crops in Ilam province. In order to recognize the weed species, three counties were selected based on the type of climate in 2011-2012. According to the cultivated areas of winter crops in each county, 48 fields were chosen and demographic information was calculated by counting the weeds in each field. The geographic information such as altitude, longitude and elevation above sea level were recorded by GPS at each location. The results showed that 35 weed species were found in wheat (main winter crop) fields. The main broad leaf weeds in wheat fields were Malva neglecta, Vaccaria peramidata, Sinapsis arvensis, and Galium tricornutum. Avena ludoviciana were the most widespread grass weed species in these fields. It was found that S. arvensis and A. ludoviciana with 61.76 and 55.88 percent, respectively, had the greatest constancy on wheat fields. Only crop type and planting date were effective on weed species richness among crop management variables considered in this research.

A field experiment was conducted at College of Aburaihan, University of Tehran, Iran in 2007 to evaluate the herbicides efficacy in a marigold nursery to control weeds including annual flowers. Experimental design was a RCBD with total 12 treatments replicated four times. Treatments were trifluralin preplant incorporated at two and three Li/ha, trifluralin preplant non incorporated at two and three Li/ha, oxyfluorfen preplant at two and three Li/ha, oxyfluorfen postemergence at two and three Li/ha and cholorothol-dimethyl preplant at 10 Kg/ha, two-times hand weeding, weedy and weed free treatments were also included as control. Application of oxyfluorfen preplant and trifluralin preplant at both rates of two and three Li/ha controlled weeds by 70 percent. This treatment had no phytotoxic effects on marigolds and did not reduce their yields either. Among applied herbicides, application of non-soil incorporated trifluralin treatment compared with treatment of the same soil incorporated with herbicides, due to easier application, indicated its preference and also had no phytotoxic effects on marigold.

In order to study the effect of environment temperature and GR60 concentration on seed germination and growth of Orobanche aegyptiaca and Orobanche cernua, two experiments were conducted under controlled conditions in Weed Research department of Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection in 2008. The first experiment was established as a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement of treatments and five replications. The first factor was GR60 concentration (zero, one, two and five ppm), the second factor was broomrape species (O. aegyptiaca and O. cernua), and the third factor was temperature (10, 20 and 30?C). The second experiment was also conducted with the same statistical design and species, temperature at three levels (15, 20 and 30?C) and host plants at two levels (tomato and tobacco). Results indicated that GR60 stimulated seed germination of both broomrape species. Broomrape germination increased up to 20?C. O. cernua needed less GR60 for maximum germination compared to that of O. aegyptiaca. Stem weight of broomrape species increased by moderate increase in temperature.

Equal-compartment-agar method was used for studying the effect of allelopathic interaction of wheat and some problematic weeds in wheat. This experiment was accomplished as factorial in complete randomized design with 3 replications in weed research department of Crop Protection Research Institute, Tehran, Iran during 2006. The treatments were Niknejad cultivar in 4 densities 0, 8, 16 and 24 seedlings in glass tube and wheat weed spices: rye, oat, field bindweed and hairy vetch. The results indicated that the length of weeds was affected by wheat exudates more than their dry weight and similarly, rootlet was affected more than hypocotyl. In general growth of monocot species was decreased by wheat more than that of dicot species. Except hypocotyl length and dry weight, the increase in wheat density added the inhibition on weeds. Weed species had significant effect only on wheat hypocoty length and dry weight. mean while, oat was shown to be the most inhibitor. Except seedling hypocotyl length and dry weight, treatment of 16 wheat seedling density, caused the increase in wheat growth and dry weight.
