Herbicide-resistant weeds are challenging for producers to control in crop fields. This study explores the potential of cover crops reduce weed pressure and improve soil health. Cover that had good canopy development, including grasses such as ryegrass wheat, best control. Soybean yields were similar all crops, though there was a trend towards lower brassica Graza radish forage collards. Soybea...

Field trials were conducted in 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 cropping seasons three agro-climatic zones of the country to evaluate productivity insect pests population dynamics cassava as a response spatial arrangement, plant architecture systems. The treatments consisted seven associations, two architectures arrangements. study reveals that yield parameters higher cassava-soybean system at all locat...

Without new innovations, present rates of increase in yields of food crops globally are inadequate to meet the projected rising food demand for 2050 and beyond. A prevailing response of crops to rising [CO2 ] is an increase in leaf area. This is especially marked in soybean, the world's fourth largest food crop in terms of seed production, and the most important vegetable protein source. Is thi...

Abstract Herbicides with soil-residual activity have the potential for carryover into subsequent crops, resulting in injury to sensitive crops and limiting productivity if severe. The increased use of herbicides United States management troublesome weeds corn- soybean-cropping systems has result more cases carryover. Soil practices different effects on soil environment, potentially influencing ...

Validation of Leaf Area Index (LAI) derived from moderate resolution remote sensing observations generally involves optical technique to measure ground LAI. As the current validation datasets are derived using multiple optical retrieval techniques, assessment of the consistency between these techniques is required. In this study the effective Plant Area Index (PAIeff) retrievals by three major ...
