Weeding Criminals or Planting Fear
Criminal Justice Review, 2005This study employed a quasi-experimental design to test the effect of a “Weed and Seed” program in a Santa Ana, California, neighborhood. The authors were specifically interested in learning how it affected the residents’attitudes about their neighborhood and their fear of crime.

The Importance of Weeds in Plant Biosecurity
2013Weeds constitute a unique biosecurity challenge. We describe the causes of plant invasion and pathways for introduction. The broad and diverse impacts of weeds are described as well as what makes them different from other types of pests for risk assessment and management along the biosecurity continuum.

WEED CONTROL IN RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY PLANTINGS BY HERBICIDES
Acta Horticulturae, 2012Weed control in rapsberry and blackberry plantings during the 2007 vegetation season was evaluated using three herbicides: Casoron G (a.i. dichlobenil 67.5 g/kg) with application rates of 60 and 80 kg/ha, foliar treatments of Galop (a.i. paraquat 200 g/L) at 4.0 L/ha and Bonaca EC (a/o/fluroxypyr-meptyl 360 g/L) at 0.8 and 1.0 L/ha.

Use Nanotools for Weed Control and Exploration of Weed Plants in Nanotechnology
2019During the last decades, agriculture sector faces many difficulties due to worldwide loss by pests estimated by 30% from food production. Within this, weed caused about 13% loss, besides the ill effects of synthetic herbicides on human and the environmental health.

Modelling the correlation between plant phenology and weed emergence for improving weed control
Weed Research, 2007SummaryThe efficiency of weed control practices could be improved if their timing is linked to weed emergence dynamics. A study was conducted in a pre‐alpine valley in northern Italy to evaluate whether the phenological phases of some perennial plants could serve as reliable indicators of time of weed emergence and thus be an alternative to bioclimatic

Progress in Biological Control of Weeds with Plant Pathogens
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2020Plant pathogens have played an important role in weed biological control since the 1970s. So far, 36 fungal pathogens have been authorized for introduction across 18 countries for the classical biological control of weeds. Their safety record has been excellent, but questions continue to be asked about the risk that they could transfer to other plants.

Weed control using allelopathic crop plants
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1983The concept that some crop plants may be allelopathic to common weeds of agricultural lands is receiving greater attention as an alternative weed control strategy. Several crops showing promise are: grain and forage species such as barley (Hordeum), oat (A vena), fescue (Festuca), and sorghum (Sorghum), and the agronomic species of corn (Zea) and ...

Studies of the Phytotoxicity of Saponins on Weed and Crop Plants
1996Several saponins or sapogenins including β-escin, betulin, β-glycyrrhetinic acid, hecogenin, oleandrin, and oleanolic acid were tested in the laboratory, growth chamber, and greenhouse on various weed and crop species. Seed germination, root and shoot growth after root, foliar, or soil application, electrolyte leakage from leaf discs, and greening of ...
