Cultural Practices and Mechanical Weed Control for the Management of a Low-Diversity Weed Community in Spinach

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Low-diversity weed communities are dominated by few species that are highly competitive to crops. The management of such weed communities should rely upon sustainable cultural and non-chemical practices, especially in crops such as spinach (Spinacia ...

Weed management in organic echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Weed management is a major constraint in organic production. It can be expensive and time-consuming and severe crop yield losses may be incurred when weeds are not adequately controlled.

Ratoon Season Rice Reduces Methane Emissions by Limiting Acetic Acid Transport to the Rhizosphere and Inhibiting Methanogens

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study finds that the interaction between ABA‐OsCIPK2‐OsSWEET1A reduces the allocation of methane producing bacteria carbon source (acetic acid) content to the rhizosphere soil of ratoon season rice, thereby reducing methane emissions. Abstract Rice paddies are a major, persistent source of atmospheric methane (CH4), emission rates depend on the ...

Weed Management Methods for Herbaceous Field Crops: A Review

open access: yesAgronomy
Weeds compete with crops for water and nutrients and can adversely affect crop growth and yield, so it is important to research effective weed control methods. This paper provides an overview of the impact of weeds on crop yield and describes the current

Weed management in cereals with cover crops - do they help of hinder? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Sustainable crop production calls for integrated weed management approaches. Cover crops (CCs) have been studied primarily in the context of soil fertility and soil structure but they might also supplement the weed management toolbox, particularly when ...

Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift
