Sowing Games

, 1996
. At the Workshop, John Conway and Richard Guy proposed the class of "sowing games", loosely based on the ancient African games Mancala and Wari, as an object of study in combinatorial game theory.

Sampling for Socially‐Inclusive Adoption Studies (SSAS): A new interdisciplinary sampling method for DNA‐fingerprinting‐based crop varietal adoption studies

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
DNA fingerprinting is becoming the standard measurement procedure in crop adoption studies in the Global South, yet the lack of systematic and intentional sampling regarding which farmer to go to the plot with may bias results from these methods. We introduce a methodological innovation, Sampling for Socially Inclusive Adoption Studies (SSAS), to offer

Evolution of photoperiod insensitivity drove the westward expansion of broomcorn millet

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
This research highlights how ancient farming communities adapted crops to challenging environments, enabling the spread of agriculture across Eurasia. By demonstrating that broomcorn millet evolved reduced sensitivity to day‐length, the study explains how this crop could support food production in regions with short growing seasons and long summer days.

Distracted by a plant: movement of two invasive pentatomids, Halyomorpha halys and Nezara viridula, between companion plants and berry crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Adult Halyomorpha halys and Nezara viridula rapidly moved between berry crops and companion plants. Habitat use varied across environmental contexts, demonstrating that companion plantings function as dynamic elements in diversified cropping systems. Abstract BACKGROUND The brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys and the southern green stink bug ...

Effect of sowing dates and planting geometry on yield of redgram (Cajanus cajan) in rainfed vertisols

Madras Agricultural Journal, 2002
Field experiments were conducted during rabi season of 1995 to 1998 at Regional Research Station, Aurppukottai, to find out the optimum time of sowing and plant population for short duration redgram in rainfed vertisols.

Optimal irradiation parameters for the development of the sterile insect technique in the seedcorn maggot Delia platura (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
X‐ray irradiation of Delia platura pupae showed that 20 Gy induces high sterility while maintaining male quality and competitiveness, establishing optimal parameters for sterile insect technique implementation in North America. Abstract BACKGROUND The seedcorn maggot, Delia platura Meigen (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), is a sporadic but economically ...

Host‐induced silencing of the Minc09294 effector gene impairs Meloidogyne incognita and M. Enterolobii infection

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Host‐induced gene silencing of the effector candidate Minc09294 significantly impairs Meloidogyne incognita parasitism, markedly reducing gall formation, reproduction, and the development of specialized giant cells, with partial cross‐species effects on M.

Characterizing geographic diversity of acetolactate synthase resistance in US johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) biotypes

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Geographical distribution of screened Sorghum halepense biotypes across the USA illustrating variation in nicosulfuron response driven by associated ALS resistance‐allele frequencies among representative biotypes. Abstract BACKGROUND Acetolactate synthase (ALS)‐inhibiting herbicides are widely used for Sorghum halepense weed control across ...
