Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

The Occurrence and Diversity of Viruses Identified in Monocotyledonous Weeds
AgronomyIn crop fields, weeds are perfect hosts for plant pathogenic viruses. The effects of these viruses can range from latent infection to plant death, affecting crop quality and yield and leading to economic loss in the world.

Factors affecting the distribution of three non-indigenous riparian weeds in north-east England [PDF]
, 1999 The work presented uses a multi-disciphnary approach to examine the factors important in determining the distribution of the non-indigenous species, Impatiens glandulifera, Heracleum mantegazzianum and Fallopia japonica at a river catchment level ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Weed Vegetation Analysis and Response to Sunflower Extracts in the Uplands
JERAMIWeeds are plants whose presence is unwanted by humans because of competition with cultivated plants for nutrients, sunlight, and growing space, producing allelochemicals that interfere with plant growth, reduce production and product quality, and ...

Effect of Plant Density and Weed Interference on Yield and Yied Components of Grain Sorghum
Majallah-i ḥifāẓat-i giyāhān, 2018 Introduction Weed control is an essential part of all crop production systems. Weeds reduce yields by competing with crops for water, nutrients, and sunlight.

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Robot for weed species plant‐specific management
Journal of Field Robotics, 2017 AbstractThe rapid evolution of herbicide‐resistant weed species has revitalized research in nonchemical methods for weed destruction. Robots with vision‐based capabilities for online weed detection and classification are a key enabling factor for the specialized treatment of individual weed species.
