Evaluating the Performance of Intercropping Cereals and Legumes to Reduce Weed Pressure
ProceedingsWeeds are a major contributor to crop yield losses, accounting for up to 30% in conventional systems and exceeding 50% in organic farming. This study evaluated the effectiveness of intercropping as an agroecological strategy for weed suppression in ...

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

HorticulturaeCorn gluten meal (CGM) and soybean meal (SBM) have demonstrated value as bioherbicides and organic fertilizers, but suggested application rates usually target either weed suppression or crop nutrition, not both. The objective of this study was to explore

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

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

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.Sanguinarine, a toxic alkaloid present in argemone, can lead to epidemic dropsy or chronic diseases through DNA intercalation and immune system suppression. Regulatory efforts face challenges due to economic motivations for adulteration as well as technical, social, and infrastructure barriers.

Knowledge of Cover Crop Seed Traits and Treatments to Enhance Weed Suppression: A Narrative Review
, 2023 Cover crops, as either a living plant or mulch, can suppress weeds by reducing weed germination, emergence and growth, either through direct competition for resources, allelopathy, or by providing a physical barrier to emergence.
