Striga Management through Herbicide Resistance: A Public-Private Partnership in Action

open access: yes
Striga is an indigenous parasitic weed that attacks cereals and other crops in Africa. In maize croplands alone, Striga infests over 2.3 million ha resulting in 1.6 million tons of grain loss worth US $383 million annually.

Economic and Biological Evaluation of Pheromone Trap Types for Western Bean Cutworm, Striacosta albicosta, Monitoring in Dry Edible Bean Fields

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 750-763, July 2026.
Pheromone trap use for monitoring Striacosta albicosta in dry edible beans was evaluated across multiple trap designs, lure replacement intervals, and insecticide timings. Bucket traps captured the most moths, yet trap counts poorly predicted crop damage.

Optimizing Grain Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) Cultivation in Central Europe: Effects of Seeding Rate, Nitrogen Application and Weed Competition on Hybrid Performance

open access: yesJournal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Since grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is gaining recognition as a climate‐resilient alternative to maize in Central Europe, optimizing the cultivation technology of commercial hybrids has become a key area of research. A 2‐year study (2023–2024) was conducted in Keszthely, Hungary to assess the plant‐ and plot‐level responses of four

Effect of the spray droplet size and herbicide physicochemical properties on pre-emergence herbicide efficacy for weed control in soybeans.

open access: yes, 2018
Field studies conducted in Missouri and Mississippi, in 2017 and 2018, respectively, indicated no droplet size effect on PRE herbicide efficacy, regardless of the herbicide, weed, soil, crop residue and weather conditions during spraying.

WEED CONTROL IN MAIZE BY USING PRE-EMERGENCE HERBICIDES

open access: yes, 2010
This study aimed to estimate the effectiveness of weed control in maize (Zea mays L.), under a no-till system, in the Cerrado (Brazilian Savanna) region, by applying pre-emergence herbicides. Two experiments were carried out in Montevidiu, Goiás State, Brazil, during the 2007/2008 crop, in a randomized block design, with four replications.

Multisite Field Evaluation of Oil Accumulation and Agronomic Performance in Grain and Sweet Sorghums Engineered for Lipid Hyperaccumulation

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4546-4560, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Oil sorghum (OS) has been developed by engineering grain (TX430) and sweet (Ramada) genetic backgrounds to accumulate triacylglycerols (TAG) in vegetative tissues as an energy‐dense feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other biofuels. This study evaluated two TX430 OS lines (TxHO‐2, TxHO‐3) and two Ramada OS lines (RmHO‐1, RmHO‐2)

Selectivity of pre-emergence herbicides in two sunflower cultivars

open access: yes, 2019
The difficulty in managing weeds present in sunflower increases together with the crop expansion, mainly due to the few selective herbicide options. In this sense, the objective of this research was to evaluate the selectivity of the Olisun 3 and ADV 5504 sunflower cultivars to the herbicide treatments applied in pre-emergence of the crop under field ...

Greater Resistance to Drought‐Induced Embolism Is Linked to Higher Yield Maintenance in Soybean

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4027-4040, July 2026.
ABSTRACT With increasing drought events worldwide, crop breeding must focus on drought resistance to maintain crop yields. To ensure a high level of gas exchange and growth, plants need to maintain the integrity of their vascular system under drought conditions. While the impact of drought‐induced vascular damage on tree species is well‐documented, its
