MYCOPOPULATION OF WEEDS IN ARABLE CROPS [PDF]
Poljoprivreda, 2004 A large number of weeds are alternative hosts to numerous pathogenic agents of fungus diseases to arable crops and they represent inoculum source to cultivated plants.

CARABIDS AS INDICATORS OF SUSTAINABILITY IN ARABLE CROPS
Applied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2022 Intensive agriculture and crop production lead to a significant decline in biological control agents, their abundance and diversity. Ground beetles are important in reducing populations of pests and weeds. They are often used in environmental research as biological indicators of different habitats. The aim of this research was to analyse biocenotic and

Cover crops support ecological intensification of arable cropping systems [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractA major challenge for agriculture is to enhance productivity with minimum impact on the environment. Several studies indicate that cover crops could replace anthropogenic inputs and enhance crop productivity. However, so far, it is unclear if cover crop effects vary between different cropping systems, and direct comparisons among major arable ...

Arable plant communities as a surrogate of crop rhizosphere microbiota
Science of The Total Environment, 2023 Soil microbiota is a crucial component of agroecosystem biodiversity, enhancing plant growth and providing important services in agriculture. However, its characterization is demanding and relatively expensive. In this study, we evaluated whether arable plant communities can be used as a surrogate of bacterial and fungal communities of the rhizosphere ...

Weed activity in arable plant communities in the Central Urals (Sverdlovsk oblast) [PDF]
ARPHA Proceedings, 2020 Weed activity is an integral criterion based on the abundance and frequency of weeds occurrence in crops. Identifying the aggressive, underactive and nonactive weed species is essential for effective agriculture management. In arable plant communities of
