Trees on agricultural fields can have a positive or negative impact weed seedbank (WSB) due to diverse environmental and soil characteristics. Therefore, samples were drawn in six cropping systems [two agroforest (AFS): guava, mango; three horticulture (HCS): mango, Indian gooseberry; annual crop system (ACS)] at two landscape positions (lowland upland) depths (0-15 cm 15-30 cm) using factorial...

We report a collection of Bidens pilosa L. from an urban habitat in Abu Dhabi. This represents new generic record for the emirate. The species has most likely been accidentally introduced and potential to affect native flora because its fast rate growth. expands geographic distribution highlights importance expanding surveys include habitats, which would help track spread non-native within

The insecticidal activities of methanolic extracts two weedy plants leaves Bidens pilosa L. and Rumex dentatus at three different concentrations 3, 5 7% were tested against stored grain pests, Rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae Saw-toothed beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis L., Bean Acanthoscelides obtectus Say, compared to Neem oil as a commercial product the same for exposure periods

The nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii (Yang & Eisenback) is one of the main pathogens associated with guava tree (Psidium guajava L.) in northeastern Brazil. Considering frequency which weeds are found fruit production areas and their potential as phytonematode hosts, aim this study was to investigate reaction parasitism M. enterolobii. species evaluated for infection were Acanthospermum his...

Crude extracts from 21 South African medicinal plants, traditionally used for ailments of an infectious or septic nature, were screened for in vitro antibacterial activity using the agar diffusion and dilution methods. Almost all the activity exhibited was against Gram-positive bacteria, with 12 of the 21 plant species tested showing some activity against Bacillus subtilis. Only the Warburgia s...
