The purpose this study was to assess efficiency Carfentrazone ethyl 5% + Clodinafop propargyl 15% DF as post-emergence herbicide against predominant weeds in crops. constraint productivity. conducted using Randomized ...

Three greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, beetle emergence from individual pots containing glyphosate-tolerant transgenic corn, Zea mays L., expressing the Cry3Bbl endotoxin from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (MON863), nontransgenic glyphosate-tolerant isoline corn, grassy weeds (giant foxtail, Set...

Weed infestation is a critical management issue for maintaining the natural values of coastal wetlands across world. Widespread use herbicides to control weeds has resulted in environmental issues past and led search more methods such as using saline water. This study investigates options restore flow regimes between freshwater seawater by removing bund which was built grow ponded pasture. The ...

The inhibitory effect of propiconazole on strigolactone (SL) production and Striga hermonthica emergence were evaluated using rice plants. A significant reduction in SL levels was detected root exudates after treated with different doses propiconazole. Propiconazole induced second tiller bud outgrowth seedlings. In accordance the results 4-deoxyorobanchol exudates, propiconazole-treated attenua...

Experiments were conducted to study the bioefficacies of different plant/weed derivatives that affect the development of the pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculates F. (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) fed on black gram, Vigna mungo, seeds. Plant extracts, powder, ash and oil from nishinda (Vitex negundo L.), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globules Labill.), bankalmi (Ipomoea sepiaria K.), neem (Azadirachta indic...

Striga hermonthica is a widely spread root parasitic weed on cereals in Sub Saharan Africa including Sudan. The most important hosts comprise sorghum, millet and sugar cane. Host specificity and existence of two distinct strains on sorghum and millet were previously reported. Reports on a third strain specific to maize are controversial. The present study was undertaken to investigate anatomica...
