Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Evaluation of macrophyte control in 38 Florida lakes using triploid grass carp [PDF]
, 2000 Florida’s large number of shallow lakes, warm climate and long growing season have contributed to the development of excessive growths of aquatic macrophytes that have seriously interfered with many water use activities.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We applied three thiamethoxam spray treatments to buckwheat border strips: control (no nearby spray), drift (adjacent peach trees directly sprayed) and direct spray (buckwheat and peaches directly sprayed). Drift‐treated buckwheat received about 1.4% the amount of thiamethoxam as direct‐spray buckwheat. This amount has no lethal effects on parasitoids,

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides: Past, present, and future
Weed TechnologyAcetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides are primarily applied for controlling grass weeds in broadleaf crops. These herbicides are foliar-active, providing minimal residual weed control.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Global climate change will modify the distribution areas of important cereal bugs by changing environmental conditions. Information on their dispersal possibilities can help to clarify their future economic importance and damage potential. In this study, we modelled the current potential and future distribution of four important pests by using the ...

Weed control, protein and forage yield of seven grass species in lucerne-grass associations
Field Crops ResearchThe reduction of chemical inputs in agriculture is a current challenge. Perennial forage legumes such as lucerne produce protein-rich forage without synthetic nitrogen fertilizers but the crops may be invaded by weeds. Association of legumes with grasses are recognized to lower weed pressure but may alter forage yield and quality.

A review of knowledge: inter-row hoeing & its associated agronomy in organic cereal & pulse crops [PDF]
, 2002 The aim of this project was to establish the “state of the art” for inter-row hoeing and its associated agronomic practices in organic cereal and pulse crops. To achieve this a detailed review of literature was undertaken.
