Book Confirmation and Management of Multiple Resistance of Horseweed  Conyza Canadensis  L   Cronq   to Glyphosate and Paraquat

Download or read book Confirmation and Management of Multiple Resistance of Horseweed Conyza Canadensis L Cronq to Glyphosate and Paraquat written by Thomas William Eubank and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glyphosate-resistant (GR) horseweed has become a major problem in many row crop production systems in the United States. Horseweed is a winter annual weed common in no-till production systems. Fall-applied herbicides were compared with spring-applied treatments for the control of horseweed. In cotton, fall-applied trifloxysulfuron provided similar or greater control of horseweed when compared to spring-applied treatments of glyphosate + dicamba. Cotton yields with fall-applied trifloxysulfuron, clomazone, and flumioxazin were comparable to or better than spring-applied glyphosate + dicamba both years. Fall-applied cloransulam-methyl, flumetsulam, sulfentrazone, and the combination of chlorimuron-ethyl + metribuzin resulted in horseweed control and soybean yields comparable to spring-applied glyphosate + 2,4-D both years. Multiple-resistance to glyphosate and paraquat exists in a horseweed population from Mississippi. Herbicide rates of 0.066 kg ae/ha glyphosate and 0.078 kg ai/ha paraquat were required to reduce susceptible horseweed biomass 50%; whereas, rates of 0.78 kg/ha glyphosate and 0.67 kg/ha paraquat were required to reduce biomass of resistant horseweed to a similar intent. This is the first broadleaf weed species reported as exhibiting multiple-resistance to glyphosate and paraquat. The addition of metribuzin to paraquat improved control of paraquatresistant horseweed. Paraquat at 0.84 kg/ha plus all rates of metribuzin controlled 15-cm tall horseweed at least 90% both years compared to 73% with 0.84 kg/ha paraquat alone. The addition of 1 and 2% methylated seed oil (MSO) to saflufenacil controlled horseweed 91 and 93%, respectively compared to 78% control with saflufenacil alone. The addition of saflufenacil to glyphosate improved control of GR horseweed from 50% to 100% at 21 d after treatment; control of horseweed with the combination of saflufenacil + glyphosate was additive. Saflufenacil did not affect absorption of glyphosate in glyphosate-susceptible horseweed; however, absorption increased in GR horseweed from 36 to 44% at 48 h after treatment with the addition of saflufenacil when compared to glyphosate alone treatments. Overall, the addition of saflufenacil reduced glyphosate translocation in horseweed at least 6%; however, due to the exceptional efficacy of saflufenacil on horseweed these reductions did not reduce control of GR horseweed.

Book Control of Glyphosate Resistant Horseweed  Conyza Canadensis  with Saflufenacil and Tank mixture Partners

Download or read book Control of Glyphosate Resistant Horseweed Conyza Canadensis with Saflufenacil and Tank mixture Partners written by Brock Steven Waggoner and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field and labratory studies were conducted to determine the efficacy of saflufenacil alone and with mixture partners for burndown. Field studies were conducted in 2009 and 2010 to evaluate saflufenacil in mixtures with glyphosate, glufosinate, or paraquat for control of glyphosate-resistant (GR) horseweed prior to planting cotton. Saflufenacil and saflufenacil mixtures were applied 7 days before planting (DBP). Saflufenacil at 25 and 50 g ai ha-1 in mixture with all three non-selective herbicides provided similar GR horseweed control when compared to the current standard of glyphosate plus dicamba. Control of GR horseweed was also not different at the 25 and 50 g ai ha-1 of saflufenacil across all mixtures from the standard of glyphosate plus dicamba. Laboratory studies were initiated to determine the uptake and translocation of saflufenacil alone and when mixed with glyphosate and paraquat. It was found that glyphosate plus saflufenacil had a greater absorption of saflufenacil at 2 and 8 HAT. By 24 HAT there were not any differences between the amount of saflufenacil absorbed into GR horseweed between treatments. Translocation data also confirmed that the majority of saflufenacil stayed in the treated leaf at 72 HAT.

Book Biology and Management of Problematic Crop Weed Species

Download or read book Biology and Management of Problematic Crop Weed Species written by Bhagirath Chauhan and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2021-09-04 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weeds are the main biological constraint to crop production throughout the year. Uncontrolled weeds could cause 100% yield loss. In Australia, the overall cost of weeds to Australian grain growers was estimated at AU$ 3.3 billion annually. In terms of yield losses, weeds amounted to 2.7 million tonnes of grains at a national level. In the USA, weeds cost US$ 33 billion in lost crop production annually. In India, these costs were estimated to be much higher (US$ 11 billion). These studies from different economies suggest that weeds cause substantial yield and economic loss. Biology and Management of Problematic Weed Species details the biology of key weed species, providing vital information on seed germination and production, as well as factors affecting weed growth. These species include Chenopodium album, Chloris truncata and C. virgate, Conyza bonariensis and C. canadensis, Cyperus rotundus, and many more.

Book Conservation Agriculture  A Sustainable Approach for Soil Health and Food Security

Download or read book Conservation Agriculture A Sustainable Approach for Soil Health and Food Security written by Somasundaram Jayaraman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeding the increasing global population, which is projected to reach ~10 billion by 2050, there has been increasing demands for more improved/sustainable agricultural management practices that can be followed by farmers to improve productivity without jeopardizing the environment and ecosystem. Indeed, about 95% of our food directly or indirectly comes from soil. It is a precious resource, and sustainable soil management is a critical socio–economic and environmental issue. Maintaining the environmental sustainability while the world is facing resource degradation, increasing climate change and population explosion is the current challenge of every food production sectors. Thus, there is an urgent need to evolve a holistic approach such as conservation agriculture to sustain higher crop productivity in the country without deteriorating soil health. Conservation Agriculture (CA), is a sustainable approach to manage agro–ecosystems in order to improve productivity, increase farm profitabilty and food security and also enhance the resource base and environment. Worldwide, it has been reported various benefits and prospects in adopting CA technologies in different agro-climatic conditions. Yet, CA in arid and semi-arid regions of India and parts of south Asia raises uncertainities due to its extreme climates, large scale residue burning, soil erosion and other constraints such as low water holding capacity, high potential evapotranspiration, etc . Thus, the proposed book has 30 chapters addressing all issues relevant to conservation agriculture/no-till farming system. The book also gives further strengthening existing knowledge in relation to soil physical, chemical and biological processes and health within close proximity of CA as well as machinery requirements. Moreover, the information on carbon (C) sequestration, C credits, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, mitigation of climate change effects and socio-economic view on CA under diverse ecologies namely rainfed, irrigated and hill eco-region is also deliberated. For large scale adoption of CA practices in South Asian region especially in India and other countries need dissemination of best-bet CA technologies for dominant soil types/cropping systems through participatory mode, strong linkages and institutional mechanism and public-private-policy support. We hope this book gives a comprehensive and clear picture about conservation agriculture/no-till farming and its associated problem, challenges, prospects and benefits. This book shall be highly useful reference material to researchers, scientists, students, farmers and land managers for efficient and sustainable management of natural resources.
