Abstract The use of preemergence (PRE) herbicides with soil residual activity is recognized as an effective strategy for early‐season weed management in Midwest US soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production. The efficacy of soybean PRE herbicides with single and multiple sites of action (SOAs), including acetolactate synthase (ALS), photosystem II ...

Peck or pass? Individual‐level testing of a bird‐repellent seed coating
Using sequential unique‐choice tests on an urban population of ringed carrion crows, we show that black pepper oleoresin‐treated maize seeds were avoided, while color alone had no deterrent effect. Abstract Background Carrion crows (Corvus corone) are a major depredating species of spring crops across European agroecosystems, especially during sowing ...

Field size as a determinant of common vole population density
Population densities of the common vole, an agricultural pest, increase nonlinearly with forage field size, especially in fields below 20 ha. Reducing the field size may help limit crop damage in farmland. Abstract BACKGROUND Environmental heterogeneity in agricultural landscapes is a key driver of biodiversity and ecological processes, yet its role in

Ozonated irrigation in vineyards: limited effects on soil bacterial and fungal microbiota
Irrigation with ozonated water caused slight changes in bacterial composition but did not significantly affect microbial diversity, beneficial microbes (plant growth‐promoting bacteria, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), or grapevine trunk disease‐related pathogens.
