Host-range dynamics of Cochliobolus lunatus: from a biocontrol agent to a severe environmental threat. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2014 We undertook an investigation to advance understanding of the host‐range dynamics and biocontrol implications of Cochliobolus lunatus in the past decade. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L) farms were routinely surveyed for brown‐to‐black leaf spot disease caused by C. lunatus. A biphasic gene data set was assembled and databases were mined for reported hosts

Different Aspects of Weed Management in Maize (Zea mays L.): A Brief Review
Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Maize yield and weed concentration have a long history of reciprocal correspondence. The maize crop plant and weed species compete ruinously for nutrients, space, light, and water essential for their progress and advancement. The losses due to weed and methodologies of weed management have been discussed in this review.
