The growth benefits in height, canopy formation and leaf numbers per plant is a reflection of the nutrient use efficiency from the cover cropping treatments. In contrast, some previous researchers have observed higher mean number of leaves and heavier stem … Continue reading →

The sugar beet cyst nematodes were not even as much sensitive as the RKN to the cover crop treatments was not variable among the cropping treatments, although were slightly higher in cowpea and marigold cover crops at the ABH sampling … Continue reading →

Agronomic crops have distinct and uniform morphology, but for roadside invasive species, the high variation in plant morphology and the non-uniform backgrounds will lead to more significant detection errors. Previous studies and discussions supported that computer vision can replace human … Continue reading →

A key finding is that overnight charging currently has the lowest absolute level of CO2 emissions and a relatively low variance compared to other times of charging. This may not imply that an EV solution is categorically preferred on the … Continue reading →

The intensification experiment was implemented in an established walnut orchard at the Plant Sciences Field Facility in Davis, CA, USA . The orchard was planted in the spring of 2015 with ‘Chandler’ walnuts. The entire orchard was 0.7 ha in … Continue reading →

In California, field bindweed survives in both irrigated and dryland environments, and it grows through much of the year in annual and perennial cropping systems as well as non-crop areas like roadsides . This species causes yield loss, reduces water … Continue reading →

However, competitive suppression of native seedlings by exotics eclipsed the feedback effect, highlighting the need for weed control in the restoration process.Understanding long-term plant community dynamics has been a key challenge in ecology , made even more challenging by the … Continue reading →

Wild fungus gardens contained similar peptaibols, indicating their ecological relevance, consistent with peptaibol-producing Trichoderma being an opportunistic pathogen of T. septentrionalis fungus gardens . In our laboratory experiments, two of the Trichoderma fractions with the highest abundance of peptaibols, fractions D and E, … Continue reading →

There are several methods to make pollen grains functionally deficient and thereby reduce seed set . The most commonly used is ionizing irradiation with X-rays or gamma rays due to their ease of use, effective penetration, consistent results, and minimal disposal … Continue reading →

Chlopyralid is especially effective for control of legumes and composites such as Canada thistle , and yellow starthistle. Because it does not control many common broad leaf weeds such as mustards, it must be tank-mixed for complete control of the wide range … Continue reading →
