Management Options for Multiple Herbicide–Resistant Corn Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) in Spain
(Weed Science Society of America, 2017)Corn poppy is the most widespread broadleaf weed infesting winter cereals in Europe. Biotypes that are resistant (R) to both 2,4-D and tribenuron-methyl have evolved in recent decades, thus complicating their chemical ... -
Weed seed fate during summer fallow: The importance of seed predation and seed burial
(Weed Science Society of America, 2017)Maximizing weed seed exposure to seed predators by delaying post-harvest tillage has been suggested as a way to increase weed seed loss to predation in arable fields. However, in some areas of northeastern Spain, fields ... -
Using fitness parameters to evaluate three oilseed Brassicaceae species as potential oil crops in two contrasting environments
(Elsevier, 2017)Thlaspi arvense and Camelina sativa have gained considerable attention as biofuel crops. But in some areas, these species, including C. microcarpa, are becoming rare arable plants because of agricultural intensification. ... -
Fallow management for steppe bird conservation: the impact of cultural practices on vegetation structure and food resources
(Springer Verlag, 2017)The potential of fallow lands to favor farmland bird conservation is widely recognized. Since fallows provide key resources for birds within the agricultural matrix, such as nesting sites, shelter and forage, complete ... -
Target-site and non-target-site resistance mechanisms to ALS inhibiting herbicides in Papaver rhoeas
(Elsevier, 2017-03-02)Target-site and non-target-site resistance mechanisms to ALS inhibitors were investigated in multiple resistant (tribenuron-methyl and 2,4-D) and only 2,4-D resistant, Spanish corn poppy populations. Six amino-acid ... -
Reviewing research priorities in weed ecology, evolution and management: a horizon scan
(Wiley, 2018)Weedy plants pose a major threat to food security, biodiversity, ecosystem services and consequently to human health and wellbeing. However, many currently used weed management approaches are increasingly unsustainable. ... -
Weed resistance to synthetic auxin herbicides
(JohnWiley & Sons Ltd, 2018)Herbicides classified as synthetic auxins have been most commonly used to control broadleaf weeds in a variety of crops and in non-cropland areas since the first synthetic auxin herbicide (SAH), 2,4-D, was introduced to ... -
Using the response-effect trait framework to quantify the value of fallow patches in agricultural landscapes to pollinators
(Wiley, 2018-02-10)Questions: What is the role of managed fallow habitats in providing resources for pollination services in agricultural landscapes? How is resource provision affected by fallow management and landscape structure? Can the ... -
Seedling emergence response of rare arable plants to soil tillage varies by species
(Public Library of Science, 2018-06-25)Very little information is available on emergence of rare arable plants (RAP) in relation to soil disturbance and seed burial conditions in Europe. This information is essential to design conservation and soil management ... -
Management of herbicide resistant corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) under different tillage systems does not change the frequency of resistant plants
(Weed Science Society of America, 2018-07-05)Corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.) is the most widespread broadleaf weed species infesting winter cereals in Europe. Biotypes that are resistant to both 2,4-D and tribenuron-methyl, an acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibitor, ... -
Harvester ant nest distribution depends on soil disturbance regime
(Elsevier, 2018-09-17)Nest densities of harvester ants (Messor barbarus) are high in rain-fed cereal fields in north-eastern Spain where the ants remove large quantities of seeds, contributing to reductions in weed populations. The distribution ... -
Camelina as rotation crop for weed control in organic farming in a semi-arid Mediterranean climate
(MDPI, 2018-10-24)Crop rotation in winter cereals in semiarid Mediterranean climates is highly desirable to prevent weed infestations, but the climatic conditions make it difficult to implement alternative crops to winter cereals. Camelina ... -
Rigput brome (Bromus diandrus Roth.) management in a no tilled field in Spain
(MDPI, 2018-11-04)The adoption of no-till (NT) in the semi-arid region of Mediterranean Spain has promoted a weed vegetation change, where rigput brome (Bromus diandrus Roth) represents a main concern. In order to avoid complete reliance ... -
Multiple Resistance to Synthetic Auxin Herbicides and Glyphosate in Parthenium hysterophorus Occurring in Citrus Orchards
(American Chemical Society, 2019-08-15)Dominican farmers have started to apply synthetic auxin herbicides (SAHs) as the main alternative to mitigate the impacts of the occurrence of glyphosate-resistant (GR) Parthenium hysterophorus populations in citrus orchards. ... -
Multiple mutations in the EPSPS and ALS genes of Amaranthus hybridus underlie resistance to glyphosate and ALS inhibitors
(Nature Research, 2019-10)Amaranthus hybridus is one of the main weed species in Córdoba, Argentina. Until recently, this weed was effectively controlled with recurrent use of glyphosate. However, a population exhibiting multiple resistance (MR2) ... -
Efecto de la fecha de siembra en las malas hierbas en cereales de invierno
(Interempresas, 2019-10-07)Se debe tener en cuenta que las malas hierbas son propias de cada parcela y por tanto, se debe de plantear una estrategia de control a medio y largo plazo. Esto implica no solo el cultivo, sino también el manejo del suelo ... -
Target site as the main mechanism of resistance to imazamox in a Euphorbia heterophylla biotype
(Springer Nature, 2019-10-28)Euphorbia heterophylla is a weed species that invades extensive crop areas in subtropical regions of Brazil. This species was previously controlled by imazamox, but the continuous use of this herbicide has selected for ... -
Key aspects on the biology, ecology and impacts of johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers] and the role of glyphosate and non-chemical alternative practices for the management of this weed in Europe
(MDPI, 2019-11-05)Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers is a common and noxious worldwide weed of increasing distribution in many European countries. In the present review, information on the biology, ecology, agricultural, economic and environmental ... -
Germination behaviour of Conyza bonariensis to constant and alternating temperatures across different populations
(Association of Applied Biologists, 2019-11-05)Conyza bonariensis is one of the most problematic weed species throughout the world. It is considered highly noxious due to its interference with human activities, and especially the competition it poses with economically ...
