Environmental risks resulting from increasing application of herbicides have raised many concerns about human health and safety of agro ecosystems and environment. Hence, it is very important to find practical and effective methods for reducing the use of pesticides in environment as well as the increasing the efficiency of these compounds. Addition of adjuvants to spray solutions could be cons...

The susceptibility to Terbacil of six randomly selected strawberry cultivars (‘Aromas’, ‘Chambly’, ‘Harmonie’, ‘Kent’, ‘La Clé des Champs’ and ‘Seascape’) was analysed using chlorophyll florescence (CF) in comparison with visual observation, in an attempt to develop a method for use in a breeding programme to select herbicide-resistant strawberry lines. Terbacil was applied at one of five rates...

while weeds in sugar beet farming reduce crop yield and quality, they also lead to higher labor and material losses. in recent years, in order to eliminate or reduce the damage caused by weeds in sugar beet farming, weed control has gained importance. to this end, various studies have been conducted on robotic weed control by detecting weeds using image processing algorithms and hoeing or spray...

Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) is a widely distributed invasive species that dominates many natural areas and restoration sites. Cost-effective suppression and restoration strategies need to be developed for plant communities affected by this species. Pretreatments designed to disrupt rhizome apical dominance may augment herbicide performance by making reed canarygrass rhizomes more su...

a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of varying doses of haloxifhope-r-methyl ester herbicide on grass weeds grown at various stages in 2011-2012 growing season in research farm of college of agriculture, shiraz university. the study was carried out as split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replicates. treatments were haloxifhope-r-methyl ester ...

A modification of the GLEAMS model was used to determine application windows which would optimise efficacy and environmental safety for herbicide application to a forest site. Herbicide/soil partition coefticients were determined using soil samples collected from the study site for two herbicides (imazapyr, K,=46, triclopyr ester, K,,=l038)andpublishedvaluesfortwootherherbicides(henarinone,K,=5...
