Abstract Leafspot disease causes up to 70% yield losses in peanut production areas across the globe. One way to curb this menace is to use leafspot resistant peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) varieties. In breeding for disease resistance, quantitative characterization of disease dynamics, including initial inoculum (y0) and apparent infection rate (r), is ...

Safety Evaluation of an Aqueous Root and Leaf Extract of Ashwagandha ( Withania somnifera )
Sensoril, an aqueous root and leaf extract of ashwagandha showed no evidence of mutagenicity in the in vitro Ames assay, was negative in the in vitro micronucleus, in vivo mammalian bone marrow chromosome aberration assays, and was well tolerated in the rat at up to 4000 mg/kg BW/day when administered orally for a period of 90 days. The data from these

Weed Control and Peanut Tolerance with Ethalfluralin-Based Herbicide Systems [PDF]
Field studies were conducted from 2007 through 2009 to determine weed efficacy and peanut (Arachis hypogaeaL.) response to herbicide systems that included ethalfluralin applied preplant incorporated. Control of devil's claw (Proboscidea louisianica(Mill.) Thellung), yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentusL.), Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeriS.

ABSTRACT The study of myrmecophilous spider beetles of Australia has led to the discovery of six new species of Diplocotes, Westwood, 1869, described herein. Three species—Diplocotes meentheenaensis sp. nov., Diplocotes septenantennalis sp. nov. and Diplocotes pilbaraensis sp. nov.—are recorded from the Pilbara region of northwestern Australia.

The Effect of Planting Pattern Combined with Weeding, Herbicide, and Cover Crop on Weed Control and Peanut Yield [PDF]
IntroductionGlobal population growth, currently at 1.6–1.7% annually (approximately 90 million people), necessitates a substantial increase in agricultural production to meet escalating food demands. Arachis hypogaea L. (peanut), a valuable legume in the

Unlocking nature's vault: Innovative tools for plant genebanks
Abstract Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) are material containing useful genetic variation in plant species, including their weedy and wild relatives. Collections of PGR are mined for useful traits as needed to respond to new biotic and abiotic stresses; incorporate new nutritional, yield, or value‐added traits; and create new markets or industries.

Weeds Growth in Various Population of Sweet Corn+Peanut Intercropping
The existence of weeds on sweet corn crops can lead to competition that reduce the yield. The aim of this research was to obtain the optimum crop proportion of corn-peanut plants in suppressing weed growth but not decrease the yield of sweet corn.

Production Gaps Among Farmers With Disabilities Are Associated With Limited Technology
ABSTRACT In sub‐Saharan Africa, agriculture is vital; however, the systematic exclusion of persons with disabilities from farming hinders sustainable development and social equity. Although several studies have analyzed productivity differentials across various dimensions of social exclusion, empirical evidence on technology access, farming efficiency,

A Review of Weed Management Challenges in Organic Peanut Production [PDF]
ABSTRACTOrganic peanut production is a high-risk cropping system, largely due to difficulties in managing weeds using methods acceptable for certified-organic production. In contrast with conventional peanut production that relies heavily on synthetic herbicides, organic peanut production must use an integrated system to manage weeds.
