Managing Herbicide-resistant Blackgrass (Alopecurus Myosuroides): Theory and Practice
Weed Technology, 2007 Blackgrass is the most important herbicide-resistant weed in Europe, occurring in 10 countries. Enhanced metabolism is the most common mechanism, conferring partial resistance to a wide range of herbicides, but acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) target-site resistance also occurs widely.

Seeds of Doubt: North American farmers' experiences of GM crops [PDF]
, 2002 The picture the biotechnology industry has painted of GM crops in North America is one of unqualified success, after six years of commercial growing. The objective of this report was to assess whether this image is accurate and if not what problems have ...

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...
