Revegetating Russian Knapweed (Acroptilon repens) and Green Rabbitbrush (Ericameria teretifolia) Infested Rangeland in a Single Entry
The objective of this study was to test the potential for using a single-entry procedure to revegetate Russian knapweed– and green rabbitbrush–infested rangeland. I hypothesized that simultaneously applying an herbicide and seeding in the fall would produce the highest establishment and growth of desired species. For Russian knapweed, treatments included three seeding rates (zero, low, and high...
متن کاملIntegrated Management of Leafy Spurge-Infested Rangeland
Leafy spurge is an invasive Eurasian weed on pastures and rangeland in North America where it reduces grass forage production. Our objective was to determine the effects of multispecies grazing combined with Aphthona flea beetles on leafy spurge-infested rangeland. On two westernNorth Dakota sitesdivided into four25to79-hapastures, two grazingduration treatmentswere applied: season-long with 7 ...
متن کاملA nature-based approach for managing the invasive weed species Gutenbergia cordifolia for sustainable rangeland management
BACKGROUND The invasive weed species Gutenbergia cordifolia has been observed to suppress native plants and to dominate more than half of the entire crater floor (250 km2) in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). As this species has been found to be toxic to ruminants it might strongly impact animal populations in this ecologically diverse ecosystem. Hence, a nature-based approach is urgently...
متن کاملClassifying Weed Species Using Color Image Texture
Color co-occurrence method (CCM) texture statistics were used as input variables for a backpropagation (BP) neural network weed classification model. Thirty-three unique CCM texture statistic inputs were generated for 40 images per class, within a six class data set. The following six classes were studied: giant foxtail, large crabgrass, common lambsquarter, velvetleaf, ivyleaf morningglory, an...
متن کاملIndicator Species for Rangeland Management by Anp-Dematel method (Case Study: Nahavand Rangeland)
The wide ecological area consists of a rangeland with special vegetation and one of the key factors in rangeland management is to select Management Indicator Species (MIS). Management indicator species based on a new method such as Analytical Network Process-Decision Making Trial and Evaluation (ANP-DEMATEL) is one of the most important stages in the successful Range management as choosing a su...
