Kochia [Bassia scoparia (L.) A.J. Scott] is an invasive C 4 tumbleweed in the Great Plains of North America, where it impedes crop harvest and causes significant yield losses. Rapid evolution spread glyphosate- acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor-resistant kochia western Canada limit herbicide options available for control these biotypes field pea (Pisum sativum L.); one predominant pulse cro...

The objective of this research was to compare various novel herbicides for efficacy in fallow. An experiment compared residual preemergence weed control While most provided good kochia early on, only the treatments containing Alite 27 (isoxaflutole) controlled 90% or more by 50 days after treatment. Similarly, Russian thistle 83% early. However, declined such that as much 74% later season.

Aphid parasitoids of the subfamily Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) of northeastern Iran were studied in this paper. A total of 29 species are keyed and illustrated with line drawings. The aphidiines presented in this work have been reared from 42 aphid host taxa occurring on 49 plant taxa from a total of 33 sampling sites. Sixty-six aphidiine-aphid-plant associations are presented. Trioxys...

due to the lack of fresh water resources, the use of saline water for the production of plants such as wheat and kochia is inevitable. to sustain production, the effect of saline water on the plants and soil in each region must be studied. therefore in this paper, the effects of irrigation with saline water to produce plants such as wheat and kochia, as well as changes in the soil salinity prof...

The aim of this study was to determine possible differences between first cut and second cut forage of Birjand ecotype of Kochia scoparia for chemical composition and fermentability, and to evaluate the changes may be induced by N fertilization in chemical composition, fermentability, and utilizable crude protein (uCP) supply at the duodenum of dairy cows of Sabzevar ecotype of Kochia....
