Control of Annual Weeds in Container Grown Nursery Stock1

open access: yesJournal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1972
Abstract Seven herbicides were evaluated for their safety and efficacy on 5 species of container grown nursery stock. During both growing seasons all materials except isopropyl-m-chlorocarbanilate [chlorpropham] at 2.2 and 8.9 kg/ha, chlorpropham at 2.2 and 8.9 kg/ha + P-chlorophenyl-N-methylcarbamate [PPG-124] at 0.4 and 1.7 kg/ha ...

Weeds of direct-seeded rice in Asia: problems and opportunities

open access: yes, 2015
Rice production symbolizes the single largest land use for food production on the Earth. The significance of this cereal as a source of energy and income seems overwhelming for millions of people in Asia, representing 90% of global rice production and ...

Integrating habitat suitability, socioeconomics, and infrastructure to assess global biological invasion risk under climate change: A case study of the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
We developed an invasion risk index framework that integrates socioeconomic and environmental data using an entropy‐weighting method. The case study highlights the need for region‐specific biosecurity measures for Chilo suppressalis. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological invasion risk is a multifaceted concept that, according to the Food and Agriculture ...

Optimal control and multitrophic physiologically‐based models: The binomial for successful decision support systems in insect pest management

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Decision‐making in integrated pest management (IPM) corresponds to an optimisation problem where the plant–pest dynamics and the control actions are constraints and where the objective function accounts for the costs of the treatments and the total income at the harvest time.

Weed Species and Their Impacts: Fruit Nursery Area Sample in Düzce

open access: yes, 2019
Weeds  cause  significant  product  and  economic  losses  by  causing  direct  (competitive  elements  such  as  plant  nutrient, water, light, covering area) and / or indirect (host to diseases and pests) problems in crops areas.  It can  also cause environmental and soc ioeconomic impacts in different  ways .

Predator egg‐induced non‐consumptive effects suppress spider mite survival and reproductive performance

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing predation intensity of predatory mite significantly reduced spider mite fitness in terms of shorter mother longevity, lower mother fecundity, longer offspring development, lower offspring survival, and lower population growth. Abstract BACKGROUND Predators suppress pest populations not only through direct consumption but also via non ...

A Trp574–Leu substitution confers resistance to three classes of acetolactate synthase inhibitors in Australian brome grass (Bromus diandrus)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Target‐site based imidazolinone resistance in brome grass was found to be conferred by a mutation at position 574 in the ALS gene and to severely impact the efficacy of the herbicide Intervix®, a co‐formulation of imazamox and imazapyr. Abstract BACKGROUND Brome grass (Bromus diandrus) is a prevalent weed in southern Australian cropping regions which ...

Host plant‐specific volatiles of Beauveria bassiana‐colonized plants initiate trophic plant–aphid–predator cascades

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.

Soil solarization for managing weeds in brinjal (Solanum melongena) nursery

open access: yes, 2006
Soil solarization is a technique used for weed control in regions with high level of solar radiations. Soil solarization for 35 or 45 days decreased the emergence of annual weeds by over 90 %.
