Genetic Variability and Associations Between Grain Yield and Related Traits in Amaranthus cruentus and Amaranthus hypochondriacus Grown at Two Locations

Journal of Horticultural Research, 2016
For plant genetic improvement, it is paramount to determine genetic components for the selection of desirable traits. Eighteen Amaranthus cruentus and 11 Amaranthus hypochondriacus genotypes were evaluated at two locations in Nigeria differing in ...

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Essential oils as bioherbicides: effects of orange and citronella oils on weed germination and early growth

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Essential oils from orange and citronella showed dose‐dependent inhibition of weed germination and early growth, highlighting their potential as bioherbicides and sustainable tools for integrated weed management. Abstract BACKGROUND Increasing selection of herbicide‐resistant weed biotypes has intensified the search for alternatives to the intensive ...

EVALUATING THE INFLUENCE OF VARIED NPK FERTILIZATION ON YIELDING AND MICROELEMENTS CONTENTS AT AMARANTH (Amaranthus cruentus L.) DEPENDING ON ITS CULTIVAR AND PLANT SPACING

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2011
Amaranth is not only of high dietetic (seeds and leaves), but also pro-health, ecological, agricultural, and ornamental quality. The aim of present research was to analyze the influence of cultivar, plant spacing, and diverse NPK fertilization on ...

Persistence of PPO mutations and dynamics of Amaranthus palmeri resistance to PPO‐inhibitor herbicides in a decade

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Over a decade, Arkansas Amaranthus palmeri populations maintained resistance to PPO‐inhibiting herbicides. PPO2 mutations relate to shifts in herbicide resistance patterns over time. Abstract BACKGROUND Amaranthus is a highly troublesome weed genera globally.

Evaluation of a novel laser‐system operating at 1940 nm for weed control and determining the influence of biological and operational factors

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The control efficacy of a novel laser pulse system operating at 1940 nm was tested. The new system allows effective control of young weeds with 1.5 J. Targeting the plant stem is 53‐fold more energy‐efficient than the meristem. Species morphology and beam diameter significantly influence weed control efficacy. Abstract BACKGROUND This study evaluates a
