A season-long survey of common weeds was taken near onion and potato fields located within a large vegetable production region in western New York in 2008 and 2009. The objective was to determine the abundance of weed species known as hosts for Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV), a serious pathogen of onion, Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) and Potato virus Y (PVY), which are major pathogens of potato. ...

Chloroplasts were isolated from triazine-sensitive and triazine-resistant biotypes of common groundsel (Senecio vulgaris L.), common lambsquarter (Chenopodium album L.), and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.). Chloroplast lipids were extracted and analyzed for differences among sensitive and resistant biotypes. The distribution of lipid between major lipid classes differed in chloropla...

Abstract Tolpyralate is an herbicide that usually mixed with atrazine for broad-spectrum weed control in corn. Previous research has provided information on the effective dose (ED) of tolpyralate applied alone and a 1:33.3 mixture atrazine; however, commercially at 30 to 40 g ai ha −1 minimum 560 atrazine. Therefore, five field trials were conducted over 3 yr (2019 2021) determine ED complement...

to study allelopathic effects of iranian walnut (juglans regia l.) on germination and initial growth of purslane (portulaca oleracea) and redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus) an experiment was conducted in shahed university. the result showed that fresh leaf had negatively effected on radicle length. also, with increasing extract concentrations of persian walnut, the seed germination and se...

in order to study the effect of different redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus) density on yield, yield components of soybean cultivar and determining competitive cultivar, a field experiment was carried out at mazandaran agricultural research station 2006. experiment was set up at a randomized complete block design with five rates of pigweed (0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 plant per square meter) and t...

Sarmentine, 1-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-(2E,4E)-2,4-decadien-1-one, is a natural amide isolated from the fruits of Piper species. The compound has a number of interesting biological properties, including its broad-spectrum activity on weeds as a contact herbicide. Initial studies highlighted a similarity in response between plants treated with sarmentine and herbicidal soaps such as pelargonic acid (non...

in order to evaluate the efficiency of empirical competition models for simulation of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) yield at interference with redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus l.), a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out. factors were weed densities (d1=1, d2= 4, d3= 8, d4=12 and d5=16 plants m-1 of row) and relative time o...

Weed seed persistence in the soil seedbank is central to weed population dynamics; however, limited knowledge of mechanisms regulating seed survival in soil remains an obstacle to developing seed-bank management practices. Weed seeds are rich in carbon and nitrogen, and therefore may represent an important nutritional resource to soil microbes. The objective of this study was to test the hypoth...
