Abstract Wild oat is a herbicide resistance-prone global weed species that causes significant economic losses in dryland and horticultural agriculture. As result, there has been research effort to control this species. A major impediment the seed coat-mediated dormancy of wild oat, which requires labor-intensive incision or puncturing coat initiate germination. This study defines most efficient...

Following growers’ reports of herbicide control problems, populations 30 wild oats, Avena fatua, were collected from the south-east main arable counties Ireland in 2016 and investigated for occurrence potential resistance to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors pinoxaden, propaquizafop cycloxydim, as well acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron. Plant survival ?2...

Four weed species (Bromus mollis, Vulpia sp., Poa annua, Steltaria media) occur in 30% or more of all perennial ryegrass seed samples. Of the listed undesirable species, Avena fatua (wild oat) and Hordeum murinum occurred respectively in 5.3 and 3.5% of ryegrass seedlots. Only 6 herbicides are registered for use in grass seed crops in New Zealand, 2 for wild oat, and 4 for broadleaved weeds. Th...

Leakages of amino acids and/or fluorescent material as functions of temperature between 15 and 40 C are reported for imbibed seeds of Avena fatua L., Lactuca sativa L., Barbarea vulgaris R. Br., Amaranthus albus L., Abutilon theophrasti Medic., Lychnis alba Mill., Daucus carota L., Setaria faberi Herrm., Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv., and Datura stramonium L. The leakage indicates prominent incre...
