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. This information is crucial for researchers and growers to develop integrated weed management (IWM) strategies. Written by leading experts across the globe, this book is an essential read to plant biologists and ecologists, crop scientists, and students and researchers interested in weed science. - Provides detailed information on the biology of different key weed species - Covers weed seed germination and emergence - Presents the factors affecting weed growth and seed production

Download or read book Weed Management Strategies in Conventional and Reduced tillage Cotton Production Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laboratory and greenhouse studies were conducted to determine the effect of temperature, solution pH, water stress, and planting depth on cutleaf eveningprimrose germination. Field studies were conducted to measure growth parameters of cutleaf eveningprimrose throughout the fall season. When treated with constant temperature, the optimum germination of cutleaf eveningprimrose occurred at 24 C. Onset, rate, and total germination were greatest in an alternating 20D 5 C temperature regime. Germination decreased as solution pH increased. Germination decreased when seed was subjected to increased water stress. Emergence was optimum when seed were buried at depths of 0.5 cm. Cutleaf eveningprimrose control was maximized when 2, 4-D was applied in mixture with glyphosate or paraquat. Five studies were conducted at Clayton, Rocky Mount, and Lewiston-Woodville, NC, in 2001 and 2002, to evaluate weed management, crop tolerance, and yield in strip- and conventional-tillage glyphosate-resistant cotton. The addition of S-metolachlor to either glyphosate formulation increased control of broadleaf signalgrass, goosegrass, large crabgrass, and yellow foxtail 14 to 43% compared to control with glyphosate alone. S-metolachlor was not beneficial for late season control of entireleaf morningglory, jimsonweed, pitted morningglory, or yellow nutsedge. The addition of S-metolachlor to either glyphosate formulation increased control of common lambsquarters, common ragweed, Palmer amaranth, smooth pigweed, and velvetleaf 6 to 46%. The addition of a late postemergence-directed spray (LAYBY) treatment of prometryn plus MSMA increased control to greater than 95% for all weed species regardless of early-postemergence (EPOST) treatment, and control was similar with or without S-metolachlor EPOST. Cotton lint yield was increased 220 kgD a with the addition of S-metolachlor to either glyphosate formulation compared to yield from glyphosate alone. Addition of the LAYBY increased yields.

Book excerpt: Recent changes in the Conservation Compliance Plans for farmers shows the need for improved information on the effective management of crop residues. Residue management requires an understanding of the crop, soil, and climate in which the farming system is located. In this volume, the strategies for effective residue management are described for each region of the country to provide a comparison of the regional differences. The chapters not only describe the knowledge in each region but also suggest some of the needed areas of research required to develop an improved understanding of the processes involved in effective residue management.

Download or read book Shifts in Herbicide Use Tillage Practices and Perceptions of Glyphosate resistant Weeds Following Adoption of Glyphosate resistant Crops written by Wade Alexander Givens and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey was conducted by phone to nearly 1,200 growers in six states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Nebraska, and North Carolina) in 2005. The survey measured producers' cropping history, perception of glyphosate-resistant (GR) weeds, past and present weed pressure, tillage practices, and herbicide use as affected by the adoption of GR crops. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of GR crop use on producers' tillage practices; changes in herbicide use patterns after adoption of a GR crop; effect of grower awareness of GR weeds on sources of information growers' use; and growers' perceptions on resistance management based on knowledge of GR weeds in their farming operation. The adoption of GR cropping systems contributed to large increases in the percentage of growers using no-till and reduced-till systems. Tillage intensity declined more in continuous GR cotton and GR soybean (45 and 23%, respectively) than in rotations that included GR corn or non-GR crops. Tillage intensity declined more in the states of Mississippi and North Carolina than in the other states, with 33% of the growers in these states shifting to more conservative tillage practices after the adoption of a GR crop. This was in part due to the lower amount of conservation tillage adoption in these states prior to GR crop availability. With respect to herbicide use patterns, frequently used herbicides for fall applications were 2,4-D and glyphosate; these herbicides were often used for preplant, burndown weed control in the spring. As expected, crop rotations using GR crops had a high percentage of respondents that made one to three POST applications of glyphosate per year. Overall, glyphosate use has continued to increase, with concomitant decreases in utilization of other herbicides. Concerning grower awareness of GR weeds and perceptions of resistance management in 2005, the majority of the growers (88%) were aware of a weed's potential to develop resistance to glyphosate, while 44% were aware of state-specific, documented cases of glyphosate weed resistance. Growers that have had experience with GR weeds were more knowledgeable about resistance management practices that could be used to mitigate them.
