The efficacy of rye (Secale cereale) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) winter cover crops and cotton stalk and root destruction (i.e., pulling them up) were evaluated in field tests during two growing seasons for Hoplolaimus columbus management in cotton. The effect of removing debris from the field following root destruction also was evaluated. Wheat and rye produced similar amounts of biomass, an...

The saddle gall midge, Haplodiplosis marginata (von Roser) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), is a phytophagous species that develops in saddle-shaped galls on stems of wheat Triticum vulgare, barley Hordeum sativum, rye Secale cereale, and some other species of Poaceae. Only one generation develops per year. Full-grown larvae leave galls and drop onto the soil where they remain up to the springtime of ...

Rye (Secale cereale L.) serves as an alternative host of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (PTR) the cause of tan spot on wheat. Rye is cultivated as a forage or cover crop and overlaps with a significant portion of wheat acreage in the U.S. northern Great Plains; however, it is not known whether the rye crop influences the evolution of PTR races. We evaluated a global collection of 211 rye accessio...

Despite differences between the cover crop growth and decomposition phases, few greenhouse gas (GHG) studies have separated these phases from each other. This study's hypothesis was that a living reduces soil inorganic N concentrations water, thereby reducing N2O emissions. We quantified effects of fall-planted cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) (2017, 2018, 2019) on following spring's temperature,...

The use of multiple ecological weed management tactics may be an effective solution to challenges associated with reducing tillage. An experiment was conducted assess how soybean Glycine max (L.) Merr. density and cereal rye Secale cereale L. mulch biomass affected suppression community assembly in no-till production. Soybean planted at five rates from 0 74 seeds m−2, levels were established 2 ...

soil salinity affects a large part of the region in iran. salinity covers 12.5% oftotal area of the country. priming of seeds in sodium chloride and water (hydro-priming)has been reported to be a simple technique for enhancing the seedling establishment andgermination performance in the seeds of many crops and small seeded grasses under thestress conditions. therefore, the aim of this research ...
