Two experiments were conducted in north-central Florida to examine the effects of various winter cover crops on plant-parasitic nematode populations through time. In the first experiment, six winter cover crops were rotated with summer corn (Zea mays), arranged in a randomized complete block design. The cover crops evaluated were wheat (Triticum aestivum), rye (Secale cereale), oat (Avena sativ...

The research aimed to compare the yields and yield components of mixtures oats with common vetch grown for seeds in organic conventional farming systems. Moreover, selection oat cultivars mixture its performance a crop rotation experiment different growing years was analyzed. Additionally, leaf area index (LAI) relative content chlorophyll (SPAD) were assessed. field four-field or systems carri...

there are many methods for weed management one of them is putting allelopathic and cover crop in weed management programs. in order to study the effect of sowing time (delayed sowing, synchronic sowing) and wheat cultivars (shiraz, roshan, tabasi, niknejad) on allelopathic interaction of wheat and weed species (secale cereale l., avena ludoviciana l.: monocotyledon, convolvulus arvensis l. and ...

Plants engineer the rhizosphere to their advantage by secreting various nutrients and secondary metabolites. Coupling transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of the pea (Pisum sativum) rhizosphere, a suite of bioreporters has been developed in Rhizobium leguminosarum bv viciae strain 3841, and these detect metabolites secreted by roots in space and time. Fourteen bacterial lux fusion bioreporte...

Mounting levels of insecticide resistance within Australian Helicoverpa spp. populations have resulted in the adoption of non-chemical IPM control practices such as trap cropping with chickpea, Cicer arietinum (L.). However, a new leaf blight disease affecting chickpea in Australia has the potential to limit its use as a trap crop. Therefore this paper evaluates the potential of a variety of wi...

1. The variability of species combinations and membership assembly patterns in an insect pre-dispersal seed predator guild were studied at various spatial and temporal resolutions using presence/absence and abundance data in null models. The guild consists of seven beetle species (four bruchids and three curculionids) and one moth species that live on a perennial vetch, Vicia tenuifolia Roth (L...
