It has been suggested that genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops may benefit biodiversity because spraying of crops may be delayed until later in the growing season, allowing weeds to grow during the early part of the year. This provides an enhanced resource for arthropods, and potentially benefits birds that feed on these. Thus, this technology could enhance biodiversity. Using a revie...

The differential weed-competitive abilities of eight rice genotypes and the traits that may confer such attributes were investigated under partial weedy and weed-free conditions in naturally occurring weed flora in dry direct-seeded rice during the rainy seasons of 2011 and 2012 at Ludhiana, Punjab, India. The results showed genotypic differences in competitiveness against weeds. In weed-free p...

Background: Nanotechnology has the great potential to make ensure valuable impact on season free weed control, eco environment analysis and management in these emerging areas especially pulses. Methods: A laboratory experiment was carried out at Department of Nano Science Technology, TNAU, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu with objective fabrication slow release nanoencapsulated herbicide its bio-safety i...

The field experiment was conducted on Agronomy research farm of Acharya Narendra Deva University Agriculture and Technology Kumarganj Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh, India) during Kharif season 2021 2022. laid out in split-plot-design with three replications. Four establishment methods viz., Direct seeded rice, Drum seeder technique, Transplanted rice System intensification (SRI) were taken main plot, ...

A field experiment was conducted in a split-plot design with 3 replications at Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh), during the rainy (kharif) season 2019, to evaluate performance different herbicides direct-seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.). The comprised 2 main plots, viz. rainfed and irrigated, 8 weed-control treatments, bispy...

Arable land weed seed banks are dynamic and reflect cropping history, current management, and environment. Changes in crop rotation and tillage system can alter weed seed density and species composition. In the semi-arid region of the Pacific Northwest, USA, no-till spring cropping is being studied as an alternative to the traditional winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/dust-mulch fallow (WWF) ...

Redroot pigweed is one of the injurious agricultural weeds on a worldwide basis. Understanding of its interference impact in crop field will provide useful information for weed control programs. The effects of redroot pigweed on cotton at densities of 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 plants m(-1) of row were evaluated in field experiments conducted in 2013 and 2014 at Institute of Cotton Res...

Because of the increasing number of glyphosate-resistant weeds, alternate herbicide-resistant crops and herbicides with different modes of action are required to protect crop yield. Glufosinate is a broad-spectrum POST herbicide for weed control in glufosinate-resistant crops, including soybean. The objective of this study was to compare herbicide programs with glufosinate applied singly at lat...
