[ 1 ] - Assessment of glyphosate-resistant horseweed (Conyza canadensis L. Cronq.) and fleabane (Conyza albida Willd. ex Spreng) populations from perennial crops in Greece
The extended use of glyphosate resulted to its reduced efficacy against increasingly problematic weeds, such as Conyza spp. The objectives of this study were to determine the occurrence of glyphosate resistance in horseweed (C. canadensis) and fleabane (C. albida) populations in Greece, to evaluate the effect of weed growth stage on glyphosate efficacy under controlled environmental condit...
[ 2 ] - Phosphate supply as a promoter of tolerance to arsenic in pearl millet
Many soils are contaminated by heavy metals, with arsenic posing serious environmental threat. Enrichment of soil with phosphate is believed to reduce the arsenic toxicity. However, only a few attempts have already been conducted towards understanding the precise role of phosphate in controlling As toxicity. Moreover, there is no adequate information on the effect of phosphate on As-induced...
[ 3 ] - Screening of Greek wheat landraces for their yield responses under arid conditions
The present study was a part of a long time screening experiment that includeda high number of wheat landraces (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivated in Greece, andfocused on the agronomic point of view and the drought adaptation for some ofthese landraces. One of the most acceptable ways for the assessment of droughtresistance is the examination of yield and yield components in different waterregim...
[ 4 ] - Reduced herbicide rates for an effective weed control in competitive wheat cultivars
A study was carried out over 2 years (2008/2009 and 2009/2010) in Greece, in order to evaluate the weed control using reduced rates of the herbicide mesosulfuron-methyl+iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium of four major weeds (Avena sterilis, Phalaris minor, Papaver rhoeas and Sinapis arvensis), grain yield and yield components of five wheat cultivars (Bob, Cosmodur, Meridiano, Quadrato and Simeto). The ...
