Yield performance of imidazolinone-tolerant basmati rice genotypes under dry direct-seeded conditions and its impact on succeeding crops

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
IntroductionWeed management is a major challenge in dry direct-seeded rice (DDSR) systems due to severe weed infestation and limited selectivity of post-emergence herbicides in basmati rice.

Herbicide‐tolerant crops in agriculture: oilseed rape as a case study [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Breeding, 2002
AbstractOilseed rape has been modified extensively by conventional breeding for the production of varieties useful for human consumption (blended vegetable oil and margarine) and industrial processes (rubber additives and high‐temperature lubricants). Because much is now known about its genetic and biochemical composition, it has been an obvious choice

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...

Agricultural and environmental drivers of variation in the composition of food crops: A scoping review

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agricultural management and environmental conditions influence the biochemical composition of food crops; however, the specific drivers of this variation remain insufficiently understood, despite their importance for climate change adaptation and human health.

Combined effects of canola plant density and insecticide management strategies on flea beetle abundance, canola defoliation, and yield across the Canadian prairies

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing canola plant density reduced flea beetle abundance per plant and increased yield, independent of region or insecticide use, highlighting its potential as a component of integrated pest management. Abstract The crucifer flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze), and the striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius) (Coleoptera ...

Analysis of glutamine synthetase target‐site mutations and their role in endowing glufosinate‐ammonium resistance

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
GS2.2 G255D mutation conferred enzyme‐level glufosinate insensitivity but no whole‐plant resistance, showing trade‐offs between catalytic function and herbicide binding and providing a baseline for future studies on target‐site glufosinate resistance.

Understanding the structural basis of ALS mutations associated with resistance to sulfonylurea in wheat

open access: yesScientific Reports
Developing herbicide-tolerant wheat varieties is highly desirable for effective weed management and improved crop yield. The enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS) is the target enzyme for the sulfonylurea class of herbicides.

Exploring how multi-year cover crop use alters above and belowground weed communities in limited tillage corn–soybean systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Agronomy
Over the last several decades, the intensive production of corn (Zea mays L.) and soybeans (Glycine max L.) in the United States has included the widespread use of herbicide-tolerant crops, contributing to soil management with reduced tillage.

Genotype‐by‐environment interaction informs selection for seed physiological quality and stink bug tolerance in soybean under pest management contrasts

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Genotype‐by‐environment interaction shaped soybean seed stability under contrasting insecticide regimes. Seed longevity emerged as a stable, management‐relevant trait under pest pressure. High‐pressure, no‐insecticide conditions improved discrimination of tolerant genotypes for integrated pest management deployment.

MAINTAINING LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT: Herbicide-resistant weeds challenge some signature cropping systems

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 2014
Invasive and endemic weeds pose recurring challenges for California land managers. The evolution of herbicide resistance in several species has imposed new challenges in some cropping systems, and these issues are being addressed by UC Cooperative ...
