  To investigate the effects of cover crop and metribuzin herbicide on weed seed bank of potato in different tillage systems, the experiment was carried out as a split- split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the Research Station of Agricultural Faculty of Bu-Ali Sina University, 2013. The treatments included tillage systems at two levels (conventional tillage and minimum tillage) as main plots, three levels of cover crop (Vetch (vica villosa roth), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and without cover crops) as subplot, and two levels of metribuzin herbicide (with herbicide and no herbicide) as sub-sub plots. The results showed that the application of metribuzin herbicide reduced seed bank density of weeds. Seed bank density of weeds reduced with application of metribuzin herbicide was about 33.62 percent, compared to no herbicide. Application of cover crops in the minimum and conventional tillage reduced seed bank density of weeds 44.43 and 54.88 percent, respectively, compared to no cover crops. The use of barley and vetch cover cover decreased the richness index of seed bank of weeds. Metribuzin herbicide in the minimum and conventional tillage in comparison to control treatment decreased 23.22 and 71.51 percent the richness index of the weed species. Cover crops decreased by 24.60 and 23.13 percent in conventional tillage and minimum indices of Shannon-Weiner weeds. The decrease in the Shannon-Weiner index with application of herbicides and cover crop in the conventional and minimum tillage was 85.17 and 32.66 percent, respectively, compared to no cover crops.

  Prediction of weed emergence timing would help reduce herbicide use through the optimization of the timing of weed control. In order to predict the emergence of wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolyulus L.), alkafaun (Fumaria vaillantii Lois) and Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) by using the temperature model, an experiment was conducted at wheat field research of university of Tehran, Karaj during 2012-13. Based on the results, 50 percent of cumulative emergence of wild buckwheat were obtained in 75.21, 71.48 and 75.21 growing degree day at inner margin, center and outer margin of wheat field, respectively. The presence of wheat was not impressed the emergence of wild buckwheat. It was for that this weed was not required light for germination. Alkafaun emergence was happened at higher growing degree day at inner margin of field. Of course alkafaun had lower emergence per received GDD at outer margin in comparison with other parts of the field. Although emergence had lower slope per growing degree day at this part, but it was achieved to 50 percent cumulative emergence with lower received GDD. It was this time that 50 percent cumulative emergence of alkafaun achieved with 49.11 and 45.90 GDD at center and outer margin of field, respectively. Field bindweed was achieved to 50 percent of cumulative emergence with 158.98 and 150.60 growing degree day at inner margin and center of field. but there was no direct correlation between the number of weeds in the wild buckwheat seed bank and the number of seedlings were emerged.

  Effect of wheat based crop rotations including wheat and corn, wheat and sunshade, wheat and onion and wheat and sorghum rotations on weed seed bank of wheat farms was investigated in around of research field of Islamic Azad university, Miyaneh branch. Soil samples were collected at 0-10 and 10-20 centimeter soil depth using Uger in September 2005. Experiment was carried out with five treatments as factorial in a completely randomized design with 25 replications and continuous cultivation of wheat was considered as control. Leaching with cloth bags method was used to study of seed weed bank in different treatments. In this research, 14314 weed seeds belonging to 35 species were collected and identified. The results of variance analysis revealed that Cyperus fuscus L. seeds in control and wheat and corn treatments, and Amaranthus retroflexus in wheat and sunshade, wheat and onion and wheat and sorghum rotations were more frequent. Seeds of A. blitoides, A. retroflexus, Avena fatua L., Fumaria spp. and Cuscuta spp. were also seen in all treatments. However A. retroflexus, C. fuscus, A.blitoides and Fumaria spp. were the most frequent of 21 common weeds of wheat farms, respectively. Seed production of Fumaria spp., Setaria verticillata, Schoenoplectus mucronatus L., C. fuscus, Hibiscus trionum L. and Portulaca oleracea L., in all rotation treatments was much less than control. However the mentioned treatments had not significant effect on seed numbers of some weeds such as A. blitoides, C. fuscus, Sorghum halopens and P. oleracea. In continuous cultivation of wheat (control), seeds of two mentioned Amaranthus species, S. halopens, Polygonum hyracanicum, P. paulum, S. verticillata, Hyosyamus spp. and Marribium vulgare L. were significantly less than those of wheat and sunshade treatment. Also seeds of Euphorbia spp., Cuscuta spp. and P. paulum, in comparison to wheat and onion, Sisymbrium loesselii L., in comparison to wheat and corn and Aleopecurus myosuroides Hudson, in comparison to wheat and sorghum treatments were significantly more than control. In the other word, some weeds were better controlled by continuous cultivation of wheat. Rotations of wheat and sorghum, wheat and onion and wheat and corn caused significant reduction in seed bank of 35 collected weed species. However, total numbers of collected weed seeds at two studied soil depths had no significant differences. Manuscript profile
