Novel programming pipeline for herbicide resistance prediction

Advances in Weed Science
Abstract Background Weeds evolve resistance to specific herbicide Mode of Actions (MoAs) through repeated herbicide use. Delaying herbicide resistance is a primary area of concern because there are a limited number of herbicide MoAs remaining. Objective The objective of this study was to create a generic model on weed resistance when various management

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

Alternative Policy Designs to Help Farmers Select Profitable Conservation Practices

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary private carbon initiatives (VPCIs) promote the implementation of agricultural conservation practices that mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) via financial incentives to participating farmers. Simultaneously, an array of public policies supports the adoption of conservation practices through technical and financial ...

Evaluation of foliar‐applied post‐emergence corn–soybean herbicides on giant ragweed and waterhemp control in Wisconsin

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2023
Giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.) and waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus [Moq.] J.D.Sauer) are highly competitive and the most troublesome weeds in corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max Merr.) cropping systems in Wisconsin. Field experiments were

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...
