poaceous weeds are prolific and competitive in winter crops, but they are more insidious in wheat due to their similar morphology and growing requirements. herbicides are effective and efficient tools of weed management, however, they are vulnerable to resistance, and herbicides with different modes of action might check the dominance of a particular weed flora. the current study was undertaken...

intercropping systems lead to reduce weeds population and their biomass. in order to study effect of marigold (calendula officinalis) and mungbean (vigna radiata) intercropping in different sowing times on yield and weeds control a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design was performed in islamic azad university, tabriz branch, iran, during 2012 in three replications. stud...

Using the simplest of definitions, integrated weed management has been described as “putting components [of weed control] together, not taking them apart.” Yet, weed science has stopped at the “field edge” in assembling the components into a truly integrated approach. What is keeping weed scientists from developing real integrated weed control regardless of space and time? The answer to this qu...

Abstract Dicamba and glufosinate are among the few effective postemergence herbicides to control multiple herbicide-resistant weeds in southeastern U.S. cotton soybean production. Field studies were conducted determine effect of weed size application dicamba individually, mixed, or sequentially on common ragweed, goosegrass, large crabgrass, ivyleaf morningglory, Palmer amaranth, sicklepod cont...

BACKGROUND: Application of plant mulches plays a significant role in development and expansion of sustainable farming systems. OBJECTIVES: Assessment effect of chemical and non-chemical weeds management methods on weeds density and biomass and the properties of soil, including microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and soil organic carbon (SOC) in potato cultivation. ...

Two experiments were established in 2003 at the Rice Research and Extension Center near Stuttgart, Ark., to evaluate the potential of penoxsulam (Grasp) as part of a rice weed control program. In experiment one, penoxsulam applied alone and in tank mixtures early postemergence (EPOST) (two-leaf rice, one-leaf grass, two-leaf weeds) was evaluated, and experiment two evaluated penoxsulam applied ...

Forest weeds were not considered to be a major management problem in Hawai'i until the latter quarter of the last century. Most previous biological control programs in the state were against agricultural pests. An interagency committee (U.S.D.A. Forest Service, National Park Service, Hawai'i Department of Agriculture, Hawai'i Division of Forestry and Wildlife, and the University of Hawai'i) was...
