Phytotoxicity of parthenin, a sesquiterpene lactone, was evaluated against four weedy species (Amaranthus viridis, Cassia occidentalis, Echinochloa crus-galli, and Phalaris minor) through a series of experiments conducted under laboratory or greenhouse conditions to assess its herbicidal potential. Under laboratory conditions, parthenin (0.5-2 mM) severely reduced seedling growth (root and shoo...

A new isoxazoline compound (5-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)oxymethyl-5-methyl-3(3-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1,2-isoxazoline; code name, EK-5229) was reported to have safety in rice and control barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), but its mode of action was unknown. The compound did not inhibit germination of sensitive grasses, but it inhibited further growth. The symptom was primarily stunting and discolo...

Bioherbicides are naturally originated products posing alternatives to synthetic herbicides for weed control. The objective of this study was evaluate the efficacy pelargonic acid and microencapsulated caraway essential oil on barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P.Beauv.) johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense Pers.). Two separate pot experiments were conducted at Agricultural University Athens...

The phytotoxic potential of plants and the effect their active components on another plant species is being explored as a alternative to synthetic herbicides for weed control. In current study, we investigated leaves Dregea volubilis (L.f.) Benth. ex Hook.f. against four test [timothy (Phleum pratense L.), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv), lettuce (Lactuca sativa alfalfa (M...

Abstract In the mid‐southern USA, rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is flooded primarily to suppress weed germination and growth. Two experiments were conducted determine whether herbicide performance in conventional or Clearfield control programs was affected by intermittent flooding. The effects of flooding program on barnyardgrass Echinochloa crus‐galli (L.) P. Beauv) control, grain yield, water appli...

Background: Understanding the sociological structure of weeds in crop fields is a pre-requisite for effective management. Identification and quantification weed species found different crops are possible to provide strategies control. The exploration studies agro-ecosystems meager Telangana, so that present study has initiated explore educate local farmers about impact agrestals it will be imme...
