Abstract In weed biocontrol, the release of multiple candidates has been proposed as a way to increase herbivore load and thus impact on target weed. However, use herbivorous species may reduce overall due interspecific interactions. We assessed whether combined application two Pyropteron spp. (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) with root-boring larvae can larval infestation rate Rumex weeds (Caryophyllale...

Italy represents the world leading producer of globe artichoke, and Puglia (Southern Italy) supplies about one-third nation’s production. In this research, influence mulching (both living mulch with subterranean clover biodegradable film) on both weed infestation artichoke yield in comparison conventional tillage was evaluated. Two genotypes (Capriccio—hybrid cultivar—and Brindisino—sanitized l...

The use of crop practices to reduce the weed community is an ally integrated management. Given this, study aimed identify a composition and infestation in soybean area under different predecessor crops implanted years. experiment was carried out 2019/2020 harvest Dourados, MS. experimental design randomized block with nine treatments. treatments were composed autumn-winter crops. cultivation: c...

Egyptian broomrape (Phelipanche aegyptiaca) is one of the main threats to tomato production in Israel. The seed bank of P. aegyptiaca rapidly develops and spreads in the field. Knowledge about the spatio-temporal distribution of such weeds is required in advance of emergence, as they emerge late in their life cycle when they have already caused major crop damage. The aim of this study is to rev...

in order to determine the critical period of weed control (cpwc), yield and yield components of black seed (nigella sativa l.) affected by weed competition and control periods, a field experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran in 2012. two sets of weed-in...

Weed interference is a major threat to rice production, leading high yield reduction and reduced profitability. Therefore, field experiments were conducted evaluate the effect of different timings weed control on growth upland in 2015 2016 cropping seasons. The treatments consisted periods when crop was allowed be weed-infested for first 3, 6 9 weeks after sowing (WAS) weeds controlled WAS. Two...
