Weeds compete with productive crops for soil, nutrients and sunlight are therefore a major contributor to crop yield loss, which is why safer more effective herbicide products continually being developed. Digital evaluation tools automate homogenize field measurements of vital importance accelerate their development. However, the development these requires generation semantic segmentation datas...

velvetleaf (abutilon theophrasti) is one of the most important weeds of soybean fields in golestan province. a field experiment was conducted in gorgan agricultural research station in 2007 to determine the critical period for velvetleaf control in williams soybean (glycine max (l.) merr.) cultivar using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. treatments were included two sets o...

Soil seedbanks drive infestations of annual weeds, yet weed management focuses largely on seedling mortality. As weed seedbanks increasingly become reservoirs of herbicide resistance, species-specific seedbank management approaches will be essential to weed control. However, the development of seedbank management strategies can only develop from an understanding of how seed traits affect persis...

Accurate information on the spatial distribution of weeds is key to effective site-specific weed management and efficient sustainable use control measures. This work focuses early detection johnsongrass, common cocklebur velvetleaf present in a corn field using high resolution airborne hyperspectral imagery acquired when plants were four six leaf growth stage. Following appropriate radiometric ...

Abstract The complementary modes of action 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) and photosystem II (PSII) inhibitors have been credited for the synergistic weed control improvement several species. Recent research discovered that reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation subsequent lipid peroxidation is cause cell death by glutamine synthetase inhibitor glufosinate. Therefore, a basis syne...

Field and greenhouse studies were conducted to investigate the compatibility of MSMA in a tank mixture with glyphosate or glufosinate for broadleaf and grass weed control. Glyphosate, glufosinate, and MSMA were evaluated at 0.53, 13, and 23 rates, with 13 rates of 0.84 kg ae/ha, 0.5 kg ai/ha, and 2.2 kg ai/ha, respectively. Glyphosate and glufosinate provided similar levels of control for most ...

Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic.) infestations negatively impact row crop production throughout the United States and Canada’s eastern provinces. To implement management strategies to control velvetleaf, managers need tools for differentiating it from crop plants. 5 Band, 7 Band, 8 Band, and 16 Band multispectral datasets simulating LANDSAT 3 plus a blue band, LANDSAT 8, WorldView 2, and...
