Download or read book Evaluation of Weed Management and the Agronomic Utility of Cotton Grown on a 15 Inch Row Configuration and the Biology and Ecology of Doveweed written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a century, farmers planted cotton in rows spaced 91-cm or more apart. Row spacing was dictated primarily by equipment for cultivation, which was initially draft animals and later, tractors. Harvesting equipment also was designed to accommodate these wide row spacings. Recent advances in technology, especially herbicide-resistant cotton and the ability to spindle-pick cotton in 38-cm rows, have increased the potential for cotton production in narrow rows. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate weed management systems in glufosinate-resistant cotton planted in 38- and 97-cm rows. Greater than 90% control of annual grasses and Amaranthus spp. in 2004 and Ipomoea spp. in both years was obtained in narrow-row cotton receiving glufosinate applied early postemergence (EPOST) and mid-postemergence (MPOST) to 2- and 6-leaf cotton, respectively. With good early season control by glufosinate and rapid canopy closure, there was little benefit from pendimethalin, fluometuron, or pyrithiobac applied preemergence (PRE), S-metolachlor or pyrithiobac mixed with glufosinate applied MPOST, or trifloxysulfuron applied late postemergence (LPOST) to 11-leaf cotton. In 2005, glufosinate alone applied EPOST and MPOST did not adequately control annual grasses and Amaranthus spp. Pendimethalin applied PRE alone or mixed with fluometuron or pyrithiobac increased control to greater than 90% and increased yields 59 to 75%. Pendimethalin PRE followed by S-metolachlor or pyrithiobac mixed with glufosinate at MPOST was no more effective than pendimethalin alone. Without PRE herbicides, trifloxysulfuron applied LPOST increased Amaranthus but not annual grass control. Cotton row spacing had no effect on cotton yield and little effect on weed control. Weed control and yield in narrow-row cotton with a PRE herbicide plus glufosinate applied twice was similar to that in wide-row cotton with a PRE herbicide, glufosinate applied twice, and trifloxysulfuron plus prometryn plus MSMA app.

The first part includes articles about breeding, genetic engineering, use of variety isogenes, genetic modification, and phenotype and drought tolerance in relation to efficient use of water. The second part presents articles about plant responses to water deficit, water-use efficiency, water stress, and drought resistance. It also provides articles on plant-water balance, carbon dioxide requirement, soil physical and chemical barriers, and soil temperature and air temperature. The third part describes models of plant growth for yield prediction; light models for estimating the shortwave radiation regime of plant canopies; and soil-plant-atmosphere model. In addition, this part includes a parametric analysis of the anatomy and physiology of the stomata. The last part offers a challenge on plant modification for more efficient water use.
Download or read book Using Weed suppressive Chromosome Substitution CS Cotton as a Supplemental Weed Management Strategy written by Mary Gracen Alexandra Fuller and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cotton is a valuable fiber crop around the world used to create fabrics, oils, and currency. The threat of herbicide resistant (HR) weed populations is precarious for cotton production. The overreaching objective of this study was to phenotype potentially allelopathic chromosome substitution (CS) lines to determine competitive accessions. The identification of competitive cotton lines would be useful in the development of alternative weed control tools. Twelve CS lines (CS-49, CS-38, CS-34, CS-39, CS-27, CS-13, CS-50, CS-26, CS-25, CS-43, CS-46, and CS-23) along with the parent line (TM1) and two conventional varieties (UA48 and Enlist) were screened in a greenhouse using the stairstep structure. Eight CS lines were then selected to test in the field and analyzed in the lab to identify allelochemical exudates using HPLC. Results of this study provide a greater insight into the nature of allelopathy and its potential usefulness in cotton crops.

Download or read book Ecologically Based Weed Management written by Nicholas E. Korres and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecologically Based Weed Management Protect crop yields and strengthen ecosystems with this essential guide Research into weed management is an increasingly critical component of both environmental stewardship and food production. The potential cost of weed propagation can be measured in crop yield reductions, under-nourished populations, stymied economies, and more. The propagation of herbicide-resistant weed populations means that purely chemical weed management is no longer viable; food production can now be secured only with an ecological approach to weed control. Ecologically Based Weed Management details such approaches and their potential to manage weeds across a range of agricultural and environmental contexts. It emphasizes the deployment of ecological principles to prevent weed infestations, reduce crop losses, and strengthen ecosystems. In a time when growing population and changing climates are placing enormous pressure on global food production, this approach to weed management has never been more vital. Ecologically Based Weed Management readers will also find: A global team of expert contributors to a multidisciplinary approach Detailed discussion of topics like herbicide limitation, integrated weed management, and more Insights pertinent to agriculture, academia, government, industry, and more Ecologically Based Weed Management is ideal for researchers in agriculture chemistry, weed science, agronomy, ecology, and related fields, as well as for regulators and advanced students.
