A bioeconomic model for determining the optimal response to a new weed incursion in Australian cropping systems [PDF]
Invasions by non-indigenous plant species pose serious economic threats to Australian agricultural industries. When an invasion is discovered a decision has to be made as to whether to attempt to eradicate it, contain it or do nothing.

Glyphosate resistance in annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum Gaud.) with multiple resistance mechanisms. [PDF]
Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) is a post-emergent, systemic and non-selective herbicide for the control of annual and perennial weeds. This herbicide has very low toxicity to the mammals.

WEED CONTROL AND PERFORMANCE OF JUVENILE SWEET ORANGE TREES UNDER HERBICIDE ROTATIONS
Weeds interfere reduce the growth and yield of citrus trees. The use of herbicides to reduce labour demand in suppressing weeds is challenged by weed tolerance to the repeated application of herbicides with the same mode of action.

Social Costs of Herbicide Resistance: The Case of Resistance to Glyphosate [PDF]
Unlike in the pesticide and antibiotic resistance literature, potential social costs and externalities associated with herbicide resistance have not generally been considered by economists.

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Technical demands and political restrictions for weed control
Crop production has become very efficient in developed countries. One factor that has contributed to this success is modern weed control tools. Cropping practices have changed considerably within the last century.

Northern bobwhites associated with native grass and shrubs have improved survival
Survival rates of adult northern bobwhites were improved by a combination of grazed native warm‐season grasses and well‐interspersed shrubs. Our study suggests that incorporating native warm‐season grass cattle forages into existing operations across the southeastern United States may be a viable working‐lands conservation strategy to create habitat ...

INFORMATION VALUE IN WEED MANAGEMENT [PDF]
Use of the economic threshold to improve the efficiency of preemergent-herbicide treatment decisions is limited by a lack of weed information. An economic model for assessing the expected value of weed information needed to implement a threshold decision

ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.
