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 ...

Selectivity of pre-emergence herbicides in potato cv. Innovator [PDF]

Horticultura Brasileira, 2018
ABSTRACT Herbicide tolerance differs among potato cultivars. Thus, pre-emergence herbicides in potatoes need to be studied. We evaluated weed control, selectivity and potato yield of cv. Innovator with the herbicides clomazone, metribuzin and linuron. The experimental design was randomized blocks with four replications.

Intuition or Rationality? A Revised Knowledge‐Attitude‐Behaviour Framework in Sustainable Consumer Behaviour

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper provides a revised knowledge–attitude–behaviour (KAB) framework to explain sustainable consumption. Drawing on the dual‐process perspective, the study investigates how intuitive and rational cues shape the translation of objective product knowledge into sustainable attitudes and consumption.

Pre-Emergence Herbicides and Mulches for Weed Control in Cutting Propagation

Agronomy, 2020
Weed control is critical in cutting propagation to maximize root growth and liner quality, but hand weeding is time consuming and not cost efficient. Pre-emergence herbicides are widely used in container-grown nursery crop production, but concerns of ...

Sustainability Assessment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises: A Systematic Review and Hybrid Architecture for Credible, Salient, and Legitimate Knowledge Governance

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability assessment advances corporate social responsibility toward inclusive development. Widely recognized approaches prove inadequate for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), resulting in fragmented proliferation that hinders cumulative knowledge.

Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

Valorization of Zingiber officinale Roscoe leaf biomass: phytotoxic potential and chemical profiling toward sustainable weed management

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Zingiber officinale Roscoe is widely cultivated as a spice and functional food, generating substantial amounts of aerial biomass that is commonly discarded after harvest. Within a circular‐economy framework, this study investigated the phytotoxic potential of Z.

Characteristics of several soybean varieties (Glycine max L.) and weed management systems in an effort to increase productivity in low land rice

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Soybean productivity in paddy fields is influenced by variety selection and grass management practices. This study aimed to assess several soybean varieties and evaluate the impact of soil processing and weed control on Summed Dominance Ratio (SDR), as ...

Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.
