The dynamics of Cirsium arvense and Elytrigia repens in long-termed organic crop rotation experiments [PDF]

, 2014
Cirsium arvense and Elytrigia repens are perennial weeds prevalent in organic cropping systems in Scandinavia. This study analysed the population dynamics of both species in long-termed crop rotation experiments conducted at three sites (coarse sand ...

Beyond salinity: Plants show divergent responses to soil ion composition

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Aim In salt‐affected environments, salinity shapes ecosystem functions and species composition. Apart from salinity, however, we know little about how soil chemical factors affect plant species. We hypothesized that specific ions, most of which contribute to salinity, co‐determine plant niche differentiation. We asked if the importance of ions

Transfer seeds, hay, or soil blocks? The importance of the completeness of biological inputs to address dispersal and establishment limitations during the restoration of plant assemblages in floodplain grasslands

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2024.
This study investigated different techniques of grassland restoration to overcome dispersal or establishment limitation, which are key processes influencing early‐successional plant community assembly. A fully randomized in situ experiment was set up in a former arable land in a floodplain along the Garonne river (south‐western France) to test for the ...

Short-Term Artificial Revegetation with Herbaceous Species Can Prevent Soil Degradation in a Black Soil Erosion Gully of Northeast China

Land
Understanding the effects of short-term artificial revegetation on preventing soil degradation in erosion gullies of black soil areas is essential to choosing the most suitable species of vegetation for controlling the development of erosion gullies.

Resource effective control of Elymus repens [PDF]

, 2013
Preliminary results show that there is room for improvement within existing control methods of couch grass (Elymus repens (L.) Gould). It may be possible to reduce the number of stubble cultivations during autumn by timing the treatment, and to reduce ...

Robots and shocks: emerging non‐herbicide weed control options for vegetable and arable cropping

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 81-103, February 2024.
ABSTRACT For decades, herbicides have provided easy‐to‐use, cost‐effective weed management, but alternatives are desired. Consumer preference for chemical‐free food, awareness of environmental impacts, regulation increasingly restricting agrichemical use, and increasing prevalence of herbicide resistance are forcing changes to weed management ...

The effect of utilization term on the biomass production, organic matter digestibility and ergosterol content of semi-natural grass stand in the autumn and in winter

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2007
The biomass of dry matter (DM) and forage quality of a  grass pasture in the  Bohemian-Moravian Highlands (Czech Republic), situated at an altitude of 553 m a.s.l., was measured in late autumn and in winter in the  period from 2000 to 2003.

Impact of dose and adjuvant on herbicidal efficacy of birch‐based pyrolysis liquid

Weed Research, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 65-75, February 2024.
Abstract Reduction of pesticide use to benefit the environment is a topical issue in the EU. There is a call for development and more widespread use of sustainable alternative weed control measures. Pyrolysis liquid (PL), a by‐product of charcoal and biochar production, contains numerous compounds, including organic acids, alcohols, phenols and furans.

Klippträda istället för svartträda – Icke-kemisk kvickrotsbekämpning i växande gröda [PDF]

, 2015
Kvickrot (Elytrigia repens (L.) Desv. ex Nevski) är ett flerårigt ogräs som är vanligt förekommande i svenska odlingsmarker. Innan kemisk totalbekämpning med glyfosat var kvickrot ett vanligt problem i lantbruket.
