Assessing the toxicity of three “inert” herbicide safeners toward Danio rerio: Effects on embryos development

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Recent studies indicated that ‘inert ingredients’ exert negative effects on the environment. Herbicide safeners are classed as ‘inert ingredients’, which increase the selectivity and detoxification of herbicides.

Plant-Mediated Behavioural Avoidance of a Weevil Towards Its Biological Control Agent

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
New Zealand pastures largely comprising Lolium ryegrass species (Poales: Poaceae) are worth $19.6B and are subject to major pest impacts. A very severe pest is the Argentine stem weevil Listronotus bonariensis (Kuschel) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

Recent Weed Control, Weed Management, and Integrated Weed Management [PDF]

Weed Technology, 2013
Integrated weed management (IWM) can be defined as a holistic approach to weed management that integrates different methods of weed control to provide the crop with an advantage over weeds. It is practiced globally at varying levels of adoption from farm to farm.

Distributional composition using higher-order dependency vectors [PDF]

, 2014
This paper concerns how to apply compositional methods to vectors based on grammatical dependency relation vectors. We demonstrate the potential of a novel approach which uses higher-order grammatical dependency relations as features.

Autumn mowing and pelargonic acid can suppress Elymus repens abundance especially when combined with increased crop competition

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2022
Couch grass (Elymus repens) is a creeping perennial weed that can cause great yield losses in a wide range of crops. Established stands are usually controlled by glyphosate, selective herbicides, or intensive tillage.

Species composition of semi‐natural mesic grasslands as a factor influencing the methane yield of plant biomass (Central Europe)

GCB Bioenergy, 2022
Semi‐natural lowland and mountain mesic meadows are grasslands rich in species, and their conservation status depends on treatments such as mowing or grazing livestock.
