Spreading Dynamics of Mycoherbicide Sclerotium rolfsii in Controlling Herbicide‐Resistant Monochoria vaginalis

Weed Research, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACTSclerotium rolfsii is a soil‐borne fungal pathogen with potential as a mycoherbicide. Considering its spreading capability through mycelium, this study aimed to investigate the spatiotemporal spread of S. rolfsii on herbicide‐resistant (HR) Monochoria vaginalis, a problematic weed in paddy fields. In a controlled environment, S.

Application timing of herbicides, glyphosate and atrazine, sway respective epidemics of foliar pathogens in herbicide‐tolerant rapeseed

Plant Pathology, Volume 71, Issue 3, Page 507-522, April 2022., 2022
Studies highlight how application timing of triazine or glyphosate in relation to pathogen infection is critical to rapeseed susceptibility to white leaf spot, Alternaria leaf spot, and downy mildew. Abstract Rapeseed (Brassica napus) production in Australia relies heavily on triazine‐or glyphosate‐tolerant cultivars. For 14 triazine‐tolerant cultivars,

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.
