Weed Control in Carrot

EDIS, 2012
Weeds reduce carrot yields by reducing the size of carrot roots through direct competition for nutrients, space, and water. Weeds also deform carrot roots, making them unmarketable. Weeds late in the season may also cause severe harvesting problems. This revised 3-page fact sheet was written by Peter J. Dittmar and William M.

Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean‐type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration activities enhance ecosystem functions by reintroducing plant species based on known relationships between plant traits and ecosystem processes.

Development of single nucleotide polymorphism markers and genetic diversity in guava (Psidium guajava L.)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 58-69, January 2023., 2023
There are many understudied fruits of great economic and productive importance for regional agricultural hubs. Guava is an American fruit species with attractive nutritional and adaptability characteristics. However, in many countries like Mexico, its cultivation is still limited to small‐to‐medium size plantings and home gardens and depends on poorly ...

Defining biodiverse reforestation: Why it matters for climate change mitigation and biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 27-38, January 2023., 2023
Mixed species plantings present an attractive alternative to monoculture reforestation through their added benefits to biodiversity. Yet there is ambiguity in the use of the term ‘biodiversity’ in carbon and biodiversity markets, which may create perverse outcomes when designing schemes and projects.

Weed control in nonbearing citrus

California Agriculture, 1969
WEED CONTROL IN CITRUS nurseries is one of the most expensive cultural practices in citrus tree production. Earlier research has shown Simazine (Princep), diuron (Karmex), bromacil (Hyvar X), terbacil (Sinbar), and paraquat can be used effectively around

Breeding and selection of taro (Colocasia esculenta) for improved disease‐resistance in Hawaiʻi

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 123-145, January 2023., 2023
Taro is a root crop with wide geographic range and high cultural significance to Indigenous peoples of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. Taro Leaf Blight (TLB) is a worldwide disease of taro, and Hawaiian taro varieties exhibited little resistance to it. To improve TLB‐resistance, conventional breeding was conducted by hand‐pollination.

Macromorphological variation of the invasive Silverleaf nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav.) and its relation to climate and altitude in Morocco

Revue Marocaine des Sciences Agronomiques et Vétérinaires, 2019
The relationship between some morphological traits and the invasive potential of invasive alien plants has been reported. Also, biological invasion is often associated with rapid evolution in introduced species. The study aim was to provide the structure

Remote Sensing for Weed Detection and Control [PDF]

arXiv
Italian ryegrass is a grass weed commonly found in winter wheat fields that are competitive with winter wheat for moisture and nutrients. Ryegrass can cause substantial reductions in yield and grain quality if not properly controlled with the use of herbicides. To control the cost and environmental impact we detect weeds in drone and satellite imagery.
