Pre-Emergence Herbicides and Mulches for Weed Control in Cutting Propagation

effect of pre- and post-emergence herbicides and their combination on weed control and yield of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.)

in 2007, an experiment was conducted at the farm of the college of agriculture, isfahan university of technology, in najaf abad (lavark), to study the effects of two pre-emergence herbicides (trifluralin and ethalfluralin) when combined with the three post-emergence herbicides setoxydim, cycloxydim and haloxyfop and the two post-emergence herbicides desmedipham and phenmedipham on weeds and the...

Microbial Weed Control and Microbial Herbicides

Microbial weed control represents an innovative means to manage troublesome weeds and utilize the naturally occurring biological herbicides produced by soil microorganisms. These compounds kill or hinder the growth of weeds so that beneficial plant species can gain a competitive advantage. The vast diversity of microorganisms in our environment is largely untapped, and the potential discovery a...

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 ...

Synergy between Synthetic and Microbial Herbicides for Weed Control

Synthetic herbicides have been investigated as tools to synergize mycoherbicides (fungal bioherbicides) for improved efficacy or management of hard-to-control weed problems. Herbicides may weaken weeds and impair their defence systems, thus making weeds more vulnerable to mycoherbicide infection. Despite many positive results, the practical value of synergy remains elusive. This review will dis...
