Benefits of Precision Farming Technologies for Mechanical Weed Control in Soybean and Sugar Beet—Comparison of Precision Hoeing with Conventional Mechanical Weed Control

Agronomy, 2015
Weed infestations and associated yield losses require effective weed control measures in soybean and sugar beet. Besides chemical weed control, mechanical weeding plays an important role in integrated weed management systems.

Weed control in cole crops

California Agriculture, 1968
Of the many herbicides tested recently in California cole crops, FW-925 (TOK-E–25) —applied pre-emergence without incorporation—had the largest and most consistent margin of safety for direct-seeded cole crops.

Weed management and its relation to yield and seed physiological potential in common bean cultivars

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2013
Common bean is an important crop in Brazil primarily because of its nutritional characteristics. Some agronomic practices, such as weed management, are fundamental to cultivation, as a means of obtaining a high crop yield.

Chemical weed control in peppers

California Agriculture, 1970
WEEDS ARE A PROBLEM in both direct seeded and transplanted bell and chili peppers in California. Cool weather during the early planting season results in slow emergence of direct-seeded pepper seedlings.

Weed control in seedling alfalfa

California Agriculture, 1967
Pre-emergence herbicides offer the advantage of reducing early competition in seedling alfalfa stands. The disadvantages of present pre-emergence herbicides is that they have to be incorporated, which adds extra expense, and they do not control all of ...

Combined Mechanical–Chemical Weed Control Methods in Post-Emergence Strategy Result in High Weed Control Efficacy in Sugar Beet

Agronomy
Against the backdrop of increasing herbicide resistance and societal and political objectives for reducing plant protection products, combinations of mechanical and herbicide weed control methods are gaining importance.

Weed control studies in strawberries

California Agriculture, 1967
Present-day strawberry culture demands a field clean of weeds. This is particularly true in some areas of California where the practice of covering beds with a clear polyethylene film for several months (beginning usually in January or February) creates ...

Weed control in young grapes

California Agriculture, 1969
Under the conditions of the experiments reported, trifluralin, nitralin, DCPA, bensulide and two commercially unavailable compounds were safest on young grape vines. Fair to good weed control was obtained at safe rates except where resistant weed species

Multi-state assessment of electrocution for late-season weed control in soybean in the Central United States

Weed Technology
The increasing prevalence of herbicide-resistant weeds underscores the need to integrate non- chemical weed management approaches in soybean. Weed electrocution may be a viable option; however, limited research exists on the subject.
