Three field experiments were initiated in the autumn of 2020 and 2021 for a total of 6 site-years to evaluate fall- and spring-applied herbicides and their sequential applications for the control of MHR Canada fleabane in winter wheat in Ontario. Pyrasulfotole/bromoxynil applied in the fall, spring, or sequentially controlled MHR Canada fleabane 83, 99, and 100%, respectively at 8 weeks after the spring application (WAB); the spring and sequential applications provided better control than the fall application. Fluroxypyr/halauxifen + MCPA and clopyralid applied in the fall, spring, or sequentially controlled MHR Canada fleabane 97 to 100% and 99 to 100%, respectively at 8 WAB. Based on orthogonal contrasts the spring and sequential herbicide applications provided greater control than the fall application (8 WAB). MHR Canada fleabane interference reduced winter wheat yield up to 27% in this study. Based on orthogonal contrasts reduced MHR Canada fleabane interference with the fall application resulted in 17% higher winter wheat yield than when herbicide application was delayed to the spring. Although MHR Canada fleabane was controlled very effectively with clopyralid winter wheat yield was lower, presumably due to crop injury; this observation will have to be explored further in future research. Results from this study indicate that pyrasulfotole/bromoxynil and fluroxypyr/halauxifen + MCPA applied in the fall can be used to effectively control MHR Canada fleabane and minimize winter wheat yield loss due to weed interference.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83308147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The variation of these conditions, such as temperature, precipitation, relative humidity and soil moisture directly influence the productive performance of crop.With this, the objective of the work was to verify the effects of weather conditions on the soybean yield, carrying out the survey of the minimum, maximum and average temperature and the total precipitation during the cultivation of the soybean and collecting the data of productivity reached in the agricultural harvests of 2017/2018, 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 of soybeans in a commercial area with 15.5 ha, located in the Céu Azul City, Paraná State, Brazil. Regarding the results for the three soybean harvests, the air temperature remained adequate for the development of the crop in most of the cycle. And the values observed for precipitation indicated the occurrence of well-distributed rainfall in the 2019/2020 harvest, and in the 2017/2018 harvest there was irregular rainfall distribution, however there were no periods without precipitation. However, the large precipitation deficit occurred in the 2018/2019 harvest, where the lack of rain occurred in 28 days, between 12/03/2018 and 12/30/2018, indicating a drought in this period. The soybean yield obtained in the area in the 2019/2020 harvest was 3.727 t ha-1, higher than the other two soybean harvests, being that 2018/2019 harvest reaching the lowest value, 2.394 t ha-1, indicating the influence of the weather in the soyben yield achieved.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82111862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies have investigated correlations between phytonematodes and soil chemical and physical properties, but little is known about correlations with the nutritional status of soybean crops. This study aimed to assess correlations between Pratylenchus, Meloidogyne, soil chemical properties, soil texture, and the nutritional status of soybean. The experiment was carried out in Paraguay in areas of commercial soybean cultivation infested with nematodes, totaling 83 collection sites. Analyses of nematodes in soil and root samples, chemical characterization of soil acidity, fertility, and texture, and chemical characterization of soybean leaves were performed, totaling 36 variables. Data were subjected to principal component analysis. Soil Al3+ favored the development of Pratylenchus populations. Organic carbon negatively influenced Meloidogyne. K+ and Mg2+ negatively affected Pratylenchus and Meloidogyne, respectively. Pratylenchus and Meloidogyne correlated negatively with clay contents. In sandy soils, there was a negative correlation between Pratylenchus and sand content. Pratylenchus and Meloidogyne led to an increase in foliar Ca and a decrease in foliar P. Soil fertility management can be used as part of the integrated management of Pratylenchus and Meloidogyne. It is worth mentioning that, in field studies, the complexity of biotic and abiotic factors in the crop system may contribute to diverging results, making it difficult to establish a single response pattern, especially when some factors affect others.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90044459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principal objective of this study was to examine the specific predator responsiveness of the firefly larvae against the giant African snails under experimental conditions. This was evaluated using two (2) treatments T1 and T2. T1 investigated giant African snail neonates of size 0.5 cm with a larva to snail ratio of 1:5. In T2, larvae to snail ratio of 3:1 was investigated using 2 cm giant African snail neonates. Control treatments were included in the experimental design with the absence of the larvae. Each treatment was replicated five (5) times. There were 100 % mortality effects for T1 and T2. Commonalities existed in both the spatial and the temporal characteristics to possibly consider the firefly larvae as an idealistic and highly compatible predator for the giant African snail neonates. Ecological engineering strategies to encourage the presence of the firefly will aid in suppressing the giant African snail population. The study concludes that the firefly larvae can be a possible predator for the control of the giant African snail once the firefly populations are encouraged in both crop and non-crop spaces.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90084493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment was carried out in 2 plots, each one being one-hectare land. (In the first plot, S8 was applied for 5 litres per 1000 litres of water in the growth stages as foliar spraying after each crop harvest. No S8 was applied in the second plot.) The 5th and 6th harvests coincided with a dry season in this region and no irrigation was applied in this experiment for the 5th and 6th harvests. Both plots were only irrigated similarly for 1st to 4th harvest.

A high potential for improvement of Bambara groundnuts production in low-nitrogen soils is by the exploitation of colonization of the plant roots with rhizobial inoculation. This experiment sought to isolate Legume Nodulating Bacteria (LNB) obtained from root nodules of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) plants and to identify effective strains for improved production of the crop. Roots nodules of Bambara plants used in this study were obtained from preserved plants and the isolates were authenticated for their symbiotic effectiveness under screen house conditions. Nodulation of the isolates was examined in plastic pots containing sterile river sand and test crop (Bambara seeds). The experiment included reference strains, a positive nitrogen control and an un-inoculated control. The results were obtained after two months of data collection. The difference in results was explained via nodulation capacity. Out of the two isolates obtained, 2CL showed a high nodulation capability, rating it as highly effective. The outcome of this study provides stakeholders with the prospect for the use of effective isolates as inoculants to improve Bambara groundnut yield in general and in northern Ghana in particular.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84750577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herbicide antagonism between ACCase-inhibiting graminicides and synthetic auxin herbicides has been confirmed for various grass weed species, including volunteer corn. Field experiments (total of 4) were carried out in 2021 and 2022 in southwestern Ontario to assess volunteer corn control with combinations of glufosinate, 2,4-D choline, or dicamba plus clethodim or quizalofop-p-ethyl applied POST to GG2-resistant soybean. Quizalofop-p-ethyl and quizalofop-p-ethyl + glufosinate controlled GGR volunteer corn 95 and 98%, respectively, 6 weeks after application (WAA); adding 2,4-D choline or dicamba to quizalofop-p-ethyl reduced control to ≤ 15%. Clethodim controlled GGR volunteer corn 81%, and the addition of glufosinate increased control to 97%; the co-application of 2,4-D choline or dicamba with clethodim reduced GGR volunteer corn control to 58 and 45%, respectively at 6 WAA. ACCase-inhibiting herbicides co-applied with glufosinate resulted in a synergistic improvement in GGR volunteer corn control while co-applications with synthetic auxin herbicides resulted in an antagonistic decrease in GGR volunteer corn control. Greater antagonism occurred when the synthetic auxin herbicides were co-applied with quizalofop-p-ethyl than clethodim.
