Experimental methods for wind tunnel studies of seed dispersal by wind

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract The complexity and variability of natural environments make quantitative studies of seed wind dispersal challenging. Wind tunnel experiments offer a controlled alternative to investigate the mechanisms of seed wind dispersal. This review focuses on wind tunnels and the associated technologies used for studying seed wind dispersal, including ...

Response of Horseweed (Erigeron canadensis) from New York Vineyards and Orchards to Paraquat and Diquat

HortScience
Horseweed (Erigeron canadensis L.) is a troublesome species in specialty crops, including orchards and vineyards. Some growers in New York have adopted paraquat [photosystem I (PSI) electron diverter] for in-season weed control as an alternative to ...

Responses of waterhemp and horseweed to cereal rye cover crop termination timing in soybean

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Field experiments were conducted in soybeans (Glycine max L.) to determine the effects of a cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop (CC), two CC termination timings (TTs), and four herbicide programs (HP) on the emergence, biomass, and seed production ...

Control of glyphosate-resistant horseweed with Group 4 herbicides in soybean

Weed Technology, 2022
AbstractLittle information is available on the relative efficacy of Group 4 herbicides for glyphosate-resistant (GR) horseweed management in soybean. Five field research experiments were conducted in growers’ fields from 2020 to 2021 to determine GR horseweed control with Group 4 herbicides applied preplant (PP) alone and in a mixture.

Isolation and Identification of Pathogenic Fungi (Colletotrichum nymphaeae and C. siamense) From Avocado and Sensitivity to Essential Oils From Pelargonium graveolens or Cordia verbenacea

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
This study reveals the effectiveness of essential oils as biofungicide agents against phytopathogens, advancing the understanding of their antimicrobial properties. The findings highlight the importance of the sustainable use of these compounds for disease control in plants, contributing to more ecological agricultural practices. ABSTRACT The effective

Machine learning and handcrafted image processing methods for classifying common weeds in corn field

Smart Agricultural Technology, 2023
Weed management practices strive to reduce weeds, which compete with crops for nutrients, sunlight, and water and are thus important for maintaining yield. In most weed management practices, the first step is to identify or classify weeds.

Fumigant Toxicity of Essential Oils From Chemotypes of Curry Tree (Murraya koenigii) Against Adult African Malaria Mosquito (Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The toxicity of fumigant formulations of essential oils (EOs) from curry tree (Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng (Rutaceae)) against African malaria adult mosquito (Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (Giles, 1902) (Diptera: Culicidae: Culicini)) was evaluated to identify most effective chemotype of the curry tree against the mosquitoes.

Semi‐tilling maintains the arthropod food web structure but decreases biological pest control in olive groves

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 187, Issue 3, Page 345-355, November 2025.
Semi‐tillage, a widely used agricultural method to improve water availability and minimise soil erosion in crops, may compromise pest control in olive groves. Stable isotopes (N15 and C13) analysis showed an effect of semi‐tillage in the composition of the basal resources of potential natural enemies in the three olive grove strata: These changes may ...

Similarity in Persistence Traits Is Important for CoExistence With Perennial Invasive Asclepias syriaca but Not Annual Invasive Conyza canadensis

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
We tested two alternative hypotheses regarding the co‐occurrence of selected invasive species with other species based on functional traits: (1) if limiting similarity is the dominant assembly process; the less similar species are more likely to associate with the targeted invasive species, or (2) if environmental filtering is more important; then more
