Impact of weed control practices on weed suppression and crop performance in boro rice

Journal of Crop and Weed

Radiations and radioisotopes are used in agricultural research to induce genetic variability in crop plants to develop improved varieties, to manage insect pests, monitor fate and persistence of pesticides, to study fertilizer use efficiency and plant micronutrient uptake and also to preserve agricultural produce. Use of radiation and radioisotopes in agriculture is one of the most important fi...

Rice Weed Control with Penoxsulam (Grasp)

Two experiments were established in 2003 at the Rice Research and Extension Center near Stuttgart, Ark., to evaluate the potential of penoxsulam (Grasp) as part of a rice weed control program. In experiment one, penoxsulam applied alone and in tank mixtures early postemergence (EPOST) (two-leaf rice, one-leaf grass, two-leaf weeds) was evaluated, and experiment two evaluated penoxsulam applied ...

Intermittent Irrigation Effects on Barnyardgrass Weed Control and Rice Yield

Effect of living mulches and conventional methods of weed control on weed occurrence and nutrient uptake in potato

The aim of the study was to determine the biomass, abundance and species composition ofweeds, as well as macroelement uptake in potato weeded using mechanical, mechanical–chemical and mechanical control combined with the sowing of living mulches of white mustard,common vetch, Persian clover and tansy phacelia. Abundance and biomass of the weeds was themost effectively limited by the mechanical ...

Weed Detection Based on the Optimized Segmentation Line of Crop and Weed

Weed detection is a key problem of spot spraying that could reduce the herbicide usage. Spectral information of plants is very useful to detect weeds in real-time for the fast response time. However, the cost of an imaging spectrograph-based weed detection system is too high. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to explore a method to classify crop and weed plants using the spectral ...
