Occurrence of Transgenic Feral Alfalfa (Medicago sativa subsp. sativa L.) in Alfalfa Seed Production Areas in the United States
The potential environmental risks of transgene exposure are not clear for alfalfa (Medicago sativa subsp. sativa), a perennial crop that is cross-pollinated by insects. We gathered data on feral alfalfa in major alfalfa seed-production areas in the western United States to (1) evaluate evidence that feral transgenic plants spread transgenes and (2) determine environmental and agricultural produ...
متن کاملAlfalfa Seed Decontamination in Salmonella Outbreak
Based on in vitro data, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends chemical disinfection of raw sprout seeds to reduce enteric pathogens contaminating the seed coats. However, little is known about the effectiveness of decontamination at preventing human disease. In 1999, an outbreak of Salmonella enterica serotype Mbandaka occurred in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California. Based on e...
متن کاملForaging Range of Honey Bees, Apis mellifera, in Alfalfa Seed Production Fields
A study was conducted in 2006 and 2007 designed to examine the foraging range of honey bees, Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae), in a 15.2 km(2) area dominated by a 128.9 ha glyphosate-resistant Roundup Ready® alfalfa seed production field and several non-Roundup Ready alfalfa seed production fields (totaling 120.2 ha). Each year, honey bee self-marking devices were placed on 112 selected hon...
متن کاملMolybdate in Rhizobial Seed-Coat Formulations Improves the Production and Nodulation of Alfalfa
Rhizobia-legume symbiosis is the most well researched biological nitrogen fixation system. Coating legume seeds with rhizobia is now a recognized practical measure for improving the production of legume corp. However, the efficacy of some commercial rhizobia inoculants cannot be guaranteed in China due to the low rate of live rhizobia in these products. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to ...
متن کاملInsecticide use in hybrid onion seed production affects pre - and post - pollination processes 21 22
28 Research on threats to pollination service in agro-ecosystems has focused primarily on 29 the negative impacts of land use change and agricultural practices, such as insecticide use, on 30 pollinator populations. Insecticide use could also affect the pollination process, through non31 lethal impacts on pollinator attraction and post-pollination processes such as pollen viability or 32 pollen...
