Plant pathogens as biocontrol agents of Cirsium arvense : an overestimated approach? [PDF]

, 2011
Cirsium arvense is one of the worst weeds in agriculture. As herbicides are not very effective and not accepted by organic farming and special habitats, possible biocontrol agents have been investigated since many decades.

Organic amendments to enhance herbicide biodegradation in contaminated soils

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2001
Pesticide contamination of soil and groundwater at agricultural chemical distribution sites is a widespread problem in the USA. Alternatives to land-farming or solid waste disposal include biostimulation and phytoremediation. This research investigated the ability of compost, corn stalks, corn fermentation byproduct, peat, manure, and sawdust at rates ...
