ecosystem pollution and weed resistance to herbicides have led researchers to pay more attention to natural herbicides. to examine allelopathic effects of liquorice, rosemary, chamomile and eucalypt on germination characteristics and early growth of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) and wild oat (avena fatua l.), a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 20 treatments and fou...

various adjuvants carry out different functions depending on the herbicides types and the target species. outdoor pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of three post-emergence herbicides, namely, clodinafop-propargyl, haloxyfop-p-methyl, and difenzoquat-methyl-sulfate, as influenced by two adjuvants, on wild oat (avena ludoviciana durieu.) control. the study was carried out at ...

The ability to manage weed infestations in a spatially precise manner will rely on the availability of efficient methods of mapping weed distributions. We have conducted a study designed to compare four different ground based methods for collecting georeferenced information on sterile wild oat infestation in a winter barley crop. Sampling was done at harvest time (when wild oat panicles are mos...
