Abstract Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) is a eudicot weed that is considered as one of the most problematic weed species. It is reported to overcome several environmental and management stresses under field conditions. Research was conducted in a growth chamber and greenhouse to evaluate the effects of different stress parameters such ...

Survival of Salmonella on Biodegradable Mulch, Landscape Fabric, and Plastic Mulch
Ground covers are used in produce production to enhance plant growth and control diseases and pests. While various factors are considered when selecting commercial ground covers, food safety, particularly the survival of foodborne pathogens, is often overlooked. This study aimed to assess the survival of Salmonella on different ground covers, including

Modeling maize growth and development in temperate and tropical agro‐climatic systems using MAIZSIM
Abstract MAIZSIM is a mechanistic maize (Zea mays L.) crop model with a two‐dimensional finite element‐based soil simulator, known for its detailed process‐based representation and minimal calibration requirements. While the model has been extensively applied in temperate agro‐climatic systems, its use in tropical areas has not been explored.

How to produce more biomass for direct seeding mulched based cropping system in sub-saharian Africa ? Example in North Cameroun [PDF]
In North Cameroon, from 2001 to 2006, more than 250 farmers tried direct seeding mulchbased cropping systems (DMC) in their fields. DMC systems were based on farmer traditional rotation i.e. cereal//cotton.

Installation, repair, retrieval, and economic returns of S3DI systems in corn and cotton rotations
Abstract The use of shallow subsurface drip irrigation (S3DI) systems in row crops can be economically favorable, provided the system remains in the field without major repairs for a substantial period. This research documents installation, repairs, retrieval, and partial economic returns of S3DI systems in service for 4, 5, 6, and 8 years.
