a fundamental shift to a total system approach for crop management in greenhouses is urgently needed to resolve escalating economic and environmental consequences of long-lasting undesired effects of synthetic pesticides used in combating agricultural pests. the aim of this study was to examine a potential new approach i.e. microbial-based production system (mps) for greenhouse-grown peppers. f...

Abstract Ethanedinitrile is a chemical soil fumigant with promising efficacy against several key pests including weeds, nematodes, and soil-borne pathogens. The of 12 concentrations ethanedinitrile, ranging from 8.7 to 1,751 mg kg − 1 soil, control seeds tubers five weed species ( Cyperus esculentus, C. rotundus, Malva parviflora, Portulaca oleracea , Stellaria media ), two nematode Globodera r...

Sweetpotato (Ipomoeae batatas (L.) Lam.) is an important food crop affected by several pests throughout the world, especially in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions. Although Japan is relatively free from many serious sweetpotato pests, some pests, especially soil-borne pathogens, viruses, and insects such as plant-parasitic nematodes and weevils, cause severe damage in Japan. In this ...

striped rice stem borer, chilo suppressalis (lepidoptera: pyralidae) is one of the major pests in north part of iran which causes serious damage. the last larval instar overwinters in the stem of weeds around the fields. regarding the importance of weeds as overwintering habitat, population density of larvae was studied in three areas; low-, mid-, and up-lands of mazandaran province and also on...

in order to investigate chemical control of weeds in nursery of orange coneflower and moss rose two experiments were conducted in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications in 2011. treatments were per-plant trifluralin (ec48 percent) with and without incorporation with soil at 0.2 and 0.3 ml/m2, per-emergence and post-emergence oxyfluorfen (ec24 percent) at 0.2 and 0.3 ml/m...

Although cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) has been widely distributed across western rangelands for >70 years, the full ecologic and economic impacts of this non-native invasive plant have not yet occurred. Unfortunately, several independent lines of evidence indicate that the rate at which acreage becomes infested with cheatgrass is increasing rapidly. Furthermore, the invasion and spread of a num...

a field experiment was conducted to study the spatial relationships between weed seed bank and population and their distribution models in sugar beet crop (beta vulgaris) in 2009 at motahari  agricultural research station of karaj. sampling from seed bank before sugar beet drilling and weed population in three stages during the growing season were done using square (50*50 cm) and rectangle (25*...
