Recycled Waste Paper as a Non-chemical Alternative for Weed Control in Container Production [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Horticulture, 1998
Abstract Studies were conducted to evaluate recycled waste paper mulch as a means of controlling weeds in the production of container-grown crops. Two forms of recycled waste paper products were evaluated—pelletized and crumbled. Both were tested at two depths, 12.5 mm (0.5 in) and 25 mm (1 in). A fabric disk and a fabric disk treated with Spin

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

Multi-state assessment of electrocution for late-season weed control in soybean in the Central United States

Weed Technology
The increasing prevalence of herbicide-resistant weeds underscores the need to integrate non- chemical weed management approaches in soybean. Weed electrocution may be a viable option; however, limited research exists on the subject.

Integrating Perennial Groundcover in Corn and Soybean Acres: Impacts on U.S. Agriculture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable agricultural practices such as cover cropping can improve soil health, water quality, and carbon sequestration, yet U.S. adoption remains limited due to economic and operational barriers. We evaluate market and economic impacts of integrating perennial groundcover into U.S.

Non-chemical weed control systems in organically grown spring oilseed rape [PDF]

Acta fytotechnica et zootechnica, 2015
This study aims to determine the impact of different non-chemical weed control systems on organically grown spring oilseed rape ( Brassica napus L.) crop weediness and yield of seeds. Non-chemical weed control systems: 1) thermal (water steam), 2) mechanical (inter-row loosening), and 3) smothering (self-regulation).
