A Measurement System for On-line Estimation of Weed Coverage [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
This paper describes two different solutions for the estimation of weed coverage. Both measuring systems discriminate the weed from the ground by means of the color difference between the weed and ground and can be used to on-line control tractor ...

Effect of Environmental, Soil and Management Factors on Weed Flora of Field Pea in South-East Hungary

open access: yes, 2023
Pea is a widely cultivated leguminous plant which also contributes to soil enrichment through nitrogen fixation and benefits crop rotations. However, large weed populations are a challenge for pea production, requiring effective management strategies. It

Chlorantraniliprole: bioactivation in coffee seedlings and control of resistant Leucoptera coffeella populations

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Chlorantraniliprole enhanced growth and biomass in coffee seedlings infested by susceptible Leucoptera coffeella, while resistant populations limited its insecticidal performance. These findings emphasize both the bioactivator potential of chlorantraniliprole and the challenges of managing resistance in coffee leaf miner control.

Reducing Risk of Weed Infestation and Labor Burden of Weed Management in Cropping Systems

open access: yes, 2017
Weeds are a major biological yield reducing factor in most cropping systems in Africa. The annual cost of weed control has been estimated to be $4.3 billion in Africa. This figure is expected to increase as a result of climate change effects on weed species and ecological conditions for a range of weeds. Similarly, the labor burden that weeding imposes

Characterization of Cry2Ab2 resistance in Crocidosema sp. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): resistance selection, inheritance, cross‐resistance patterns, and fitness costs

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first characterization of Cry2Ab2 resistance in Crocidosema sp. Resistance appears to be autosomal and incompletely recessive, with a major‐gene contribution and potential involvement of additional genetic factors, and did not confer cross‐resistance to Cry1Ac or Cry1A.105. Abstract BACKGROUND The soybean bud borer, Crocidosema

LONG-RUN STRIGA CONTROL BY SUBSISTENCE FARMERS IN MALI [PDF]

open access: yes
A dynamic programming model is developed to identify barriers to the adoption of long-run control programs for the parasitic weed Striga. The model is applied to Sirakorola in northwestern Mali.

Rapid evolution and genetic basis of spinetoram resistance in Phthorimaea absoluta: evidence from six years of monitoring and laboratory selection

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Resistance to spinetoram in Phthorimaea absoluta is rapidly selected and functionally recessive at field‐relevant concentrations. Metabolic detoxification contributes partially, while cross‐resistance to spinosad and increased susceptibility to diamides and isoxazolines highlight practical options for resistance monitoring and insecticide rotation ...

Reducing weed infestation in winter wheat by sowing technique

open access: yes, 2007
Hoeing can improve weed control in cereals but this requires wider row spacing of the crop. A spe-cific band row design may also ensure high crop yield and quality, especially at the conditions of organic farming.
