Review of research on weed management of chickpea in Iran: challenges, strategies and perspectives

Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2020
Weeds are one of the most important limiting factors in the production of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in Iran, especially in autumn sown chickpea. Weed density and biomass in autumn chickpea are seven and two and a half times higher than the spring ...

Kikuyu grass clippings as a bioeconomy feedstock: influence of pyrolysis conditions on biochar properties and its effect on the growth of Swiss chard

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The integration of urban organic waste streams into the bioeconomy is critical for advancing the water–food–energy nexus. Grass clippings, an abundant and underutilized municipal residue, represent a promising feedstock for producing value‐added materials.

Induction and Enhancement of Bacteriocin Production (Review)

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventionally, bacteriocins are produced by microorganisms on complex substrates, released as semi‐purified preparations or crude fermentates. These bacteriocin‐containing products often exhibit unsatisfactory purity, low active‐substance content, and high production costs, limiting their commercialization and use. This review aims to analyze

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...
