Application of crop residues can be a good option for organic and sustainable weed management in rice. Consequently, the use of crop residues can suppress weed emergence and weed biomass. A study was conducted in two ...

Growing two or more cultivars of same crop species in mixture reduces intra-specific competition for natural resources and increases competitive ability of crops against weed growth and thus enhances crop yield. The objective ...

The use of weeds as insectary plants is an emerging management tactic by agroecologists to sustain beneficial insect species. Fallow lands have always been used by insects, and are an important part of their diet in ...

Seed germination of some crops (Brassica campestris and Triticum aestivum) and weed seeds (Ageratum conyzoides, Bidens pilosa, Cyperus rotundus and Galinsoga parviflora) ...

Herbicide efficacy could be enhanced by herbicide combinations and addition of surfactants. These substances improve absorption of herbicides by lowering the surface tension of spray droplets resulting in increased area ...

This study was performed to evaluate the weed density and weed control efficiency (WCE) on transplanted rice under different treatments at a farmer's field, Bhanu-11, Rupakot, Nepal during Rainy season of 2017. Ten treatments ...

Smallholder farmers have challenges of weed control and mostly they use cultural control methods because chemical control with herbicides is usually costly. However, Lantana camara L. is known to be allelopathic ...
