Weed Tolerance and Suppressive Ability of Potato Cultivars to Natural Weed Infestations

Journal of Crop Health
Abstract Concerns such as herbicide-resistant weeds and environmental pollution have increased an interest in using weed-competitive crop cultivars for weed management. Potato plants are highly vulnerable to weed competition, especially during early and late growing seasons. In this context, a two-year field experiment assessed weed tolerance

The effects of tillage-induced soil disturbance on weed infestation of winter wheat

, 2017
The purpose of this work was to investigate whether weed infestation and weed coverage could be managed using less non-inversion soil disturbance. The study was carried out in a degraded chernozem soil in a long-term trial where five ploughless tillage ...

Larval antibiosis to cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is absent within oilseed rape (Brassica napus)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We screened a panel of 98 Brassicaceae genotypes (97 Brassica napus and 1 Sinapis alba) for cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) larval antibiosis. We found limited evidence for antibiosis across B. napus but consistent antibiosis in S. alba. Brassicaceae relatives may therefore better inform resistance traits for breeding.

Equal distance sowing enhances soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) growth and competitiveness against weeds

Landbauforschung
Despite advances in cultivation strategies, significant yield losses caused by weed infestation remain a major problem in the cultivation of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.).

MULCHING OF SOIL AT DROPUIRRIGATING CULTIVATION OF LATEURIPENING WHITE HEAD CABBAGE

Овощи России, 2015
The results of influence of types of irrigation and soil mulching on weed infestation, yield, and phytosanitary state of late-ripening white head cabbage are presented. Using of drop-irrigation increased the yield of the crop.

Host plant‐specific volatiles of Beauveria bassiana‐colonized plants initiate trophic plant–aphid–predator cascades

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.

DEET‐cyclodextrin inclusion complexes for mosquito and tick repellency: Extended repellency time and no zebrafish embryotoxicity

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (HPβCD)–N,N‐diethyl‐meta‐toluamide (DEET) complex extended tick repellency to 168 h. Full protection against Aedes aegypti for 7 h with HPβCD‐DEET. HPβCD reduced DEET release and skin retention significantly. No embryotoxicity observed below 325 mg L−1 in zebrafish model.

Impact of different crop rotations and tillage systems on weed infestation and productivity of bread wheat

, 2016
Crop rotation and tillage systems have important implications for weed infestation and crop productivity. In this study, five tillage systems viz. zero tillage (ZT), conventional tillage (CT), deep tillage (DT), bed sowing (60/30 cm with four rows; BS1 ...

Behavioural manipulation of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala L): Prospects for push–pull strategies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...
