Mitigating Arthropod Mortality During Roadside Mowing: The Potential of the EcoCut Insect Flushing Bar

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 9, Page 1407-1417, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Due to their size and corridor function, roadside verges are of concern for the conservation and protection of insects and other arthropods. Any opportunity to manage them in an insect‐friendly way, for example, insect‐friendly mowing technology, should be seen as an important contribution. Here we investigated the effectiveness of the EcoCut (

Soil activity of post-emergent herbicides recommended for black-grass and loose silky-bent grass control in winter wheat

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2012
The natural emergence of black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides) was observed on a wheat field over two growing seasons in 2009 and 2010. Under shallow tillage conditions, A. myosuroides emerged steadily between the months September and May.

Viral‐mediated delivery of morphogenic regulators enables leaf transformation in Sorghum bicolor (L.)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 10, Page 4491-4499, October 2025.
Summary Recent advancements in monocot transformation, using leaf tissue as explant material, have expanded the number of grass species capable of transgenesis. However, the complexity of vectors and reliance on inducible excision of essential morphogenic regulators have so far limited widespread application.

Detection of accase target-site resistant Alopecurus myosuroides huds (black-grass) in Belgian populations [PDF]

, 2009
Black-grass is a common grass weed, widely spread in Northern Europe and also in Belgium. For ages, it has been an increasing problem in industrial crops, especially winter cereals.

Can management intensity be more important than environmental factors? A case study along an extreme elevation gradient from central Italian cereal fields [PDF]

, 2013
This paper aims to assess the importance of environmental and management factors determining the weed species composition along a strong elevation gradient.

Population genomics of selectively neutral genetic structure and herbicide resistance in UK populations of Alopecurus myosuroides.

Pest Management Science, 2020
BACKGROUND Alopecurus myosuroides (blackgrass) is a major weed in Europe with known resistance to multiple herbicide modes of action. In the UK, there is evidence that blackgrass has undergone a range expansion.

Remote‐Sensing for Herbicide‐Free Agriculture: A Bio‐Economic and Policy Appraisal

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 76, Issue 3, Page 666-682, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Pesticide reduction is increasingly incentivised in European agriculture but may generate trade‐offs. For example, replacing herbicides with mechanical weed control methods is associated with higher costs and exacerbated soil compaction and erosion.

Development of herbicide resistance in black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides) in Bavaria

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2016
Black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides) is one of the most important grass weeds in Bavaria. Chemical weed control with high efficacy is very important in crops like winter cereals, oilseed rape and maize.

The herbicidal natural product phosphonothrixin is an inhibitor of the riboflavin biosynthetic enzyme L‐3,4‐dihydroxy‐2‐butanone‐4‐phosphate synthase

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 4328-4335, August 2025.
An enzyme involved in vitamin B2 biosynthesis, 3,4‐dihydroxy‐2‐butanone‐4‐phosphate synthase (DHBPS), was identified as the target of the natural product phosphonothrixin, representing a novel mode of action for herbicides. Abstract BACKGROUND In our ongoing search for new and environmentally friendly chemical entities that can control weeds via new ...

Agroecological farming promotes yield and biodiversity but may require subsidy to be profitable

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1902-1913, August 2025.
These results highlight that while evidence for the role of ecosystem services in supporting crop yield can be found, overcoming economic constraints within conventional farming systems is likely to be a key barrier to widespread uptake. Agri‐environmental subsidy payments can offset these costs, but only for moderate interventions.
