Weed Biology and Ecology: - A Key to Successful Weed Management and Control

Weed Biology and Weed Management in Organic Farming

Design and Fabrication of a Microwave Weed Killer Device for Weed Control Applications

In this paper, the design and the results of a microwave radiation system for agriculture applications is discussed. The system is fabricated and successfully tested on weed seeds. The device, which uses a commercial 1 kW magentron, proved to be effective for preventing the germination control of popular weeds of Iran. Seven weed species were tested separately by using this system and then the ...

Weed genomics: new tools to understand weed biology.

In spite of the large yield losses that weeds inflict on crops, we know little about the genomics of economically important weed species. Comparative genomics between plant model species and weeds, map-based approaches, genomic sequencing and functional genomics can play vital roles in understanding and dissecting weedy traits of agronomically important weed species that damage crops. Weed geno...

TURF and WEED CONTROL

R field experiments with one of the synthetic plant hormones of growth regulators, conducted by the USGA Green Section in collaboration with the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Dept. of Agriculture, have shown striking promise for the effectiveness of this group of chemicals in the control of clover and some of our more serious turf weeds. The application of aqueous sprays containing a spreader...
