Foliar application of methanol influences on growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under different barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) densities
Recent reports indicate that vegetative growth and yield of C3 crops are enhanced by foliar methanol application and that overall crop water use is reduced by methanol sprays. In order to evaluate the effects of methanol and barnyard grass density on rice (Oryza sativa cv. Shiroudi) yield and its co...
