Rotavator Saeed Firouzi and Mohammadreza Alizadeh (2012) [1]: has performed field experiment to evaluate different weeding method for groundnut. The weeding method included two power tiller operated weeders Cultivator and Rotavator. Study was carried out at three different forward speeds of 1, 1.5 and 2km/hr. For all the factors Rotavator gave superior results than Cultivator. The maximum soil manipulation was achieved by Rotavator at lowest forward speed of 1km/hr. which leads to higher crop…

inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems themselves. Floristic diversity refers to the variety and variability of plants in a region. Floristic structure is considered as one of the major exceptional characters of the community (Dansereau, 1960) and therefore any disturbances in phytodiversity is projected to change the community organization.

The fungi Alternaria is a phyto-pathogen cause leaf blight disease to variety of plants. Alternaria alternata and Alternaria helianthi was isolated from Dalbergia sissoo L. and Helianthus annuus L. respectively. Test antagonists grow faster than the pathogen and produced inhibition zones thereby limiting the growth of the pathogen. These antagonistic interactions influence the incidence and severity of the disease caused by the pathogen. When the two Alternaria spp. were tested by dual culture…
