In Nepal two species, Orobanche aegyptiaca and O. cernua are causing threat to wide range of important vegetables and crops of family Brassicaceae and Solanaceae. To evaluate non-host plants as potential trap crops, different crop plants were tested in two Orobanche infested tomato fields of Lalbandi, Sarlahi, South-Eastern part of Nepal in 2018 -19. Orobanche seed density in soil samples collected from plots before planting and after harvest of each crop species were recorded and compared for the seed bank. On the basis of Orobanche seed bank reduction in both the fields, the investigated crop species like Capsicum frutescens, Cicer arietinum, Lens culinaris and Vicia faba were classified as highly potential trap crops and reduced seed bank from 52 to 70%. Crops like Cuminum cyminum, Daucus carota, Foeniculum vulgare, Phaseolus vulgaris, Sessamum orientale and Trigonella foenum-graecum were classified as moderately potential trap crops and reduced Orobanche seed bank from 41 to 52 %. The other tested crops like Allium cepa, Allium sativum, Coriandrum sativum, Glycine max, Hordeum vulgare, Pisum sativum, Solanum tuberosum, Raphanus sativus are classified as non- potential trap crops.

Integrated management has become increasingly important in weed control. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the allelopathic effect of 24 plants on morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea L.). The tests were performed in a completely randomized design, both in in vitro and in vivo experiments. The in vitro germination data were used to calculate the time and germination index, and in the in vivo experiment, the length and fresh weight of the aerial part and root of the seedlings were evaluated, with subsequent comparison of averages by ANOVA. The plant extracts used exerted allelopathy, delaying (negative) and advancing (positive) the germination of this species. The extracts of banana, black plum, carqueja, Mexican sunflower, rosemary, guaco, lavender, lemongrass and garden mint resulted in high germination delays of up to +5 days. Rosemary, garden mint, Mexican sunflower and guaco extracts also reduced the germination rate by up to -10.5%. None of the tested extracts reduced the length of the aerial part of morning glory. In all treatments, shorter root length was observed. The extracts of lemongrass, rosemary and guaco reduced the dry weight of the aerial part, and in all treatments a lower fresh weight of roots was observed, except for the treatment with guaco. It can be concluded that the germination or growth of some problematic weeds such as I. purpurea may be affected by allelochemical extracts from different plants such as bananas, black plum, boldo, Mexican sunflower, rosemary, guaco, lavender, lemongrass, and garden mint.","PeriodicalId":16980,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Weed Science","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80219172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Benth is also known as witchweed, is a highly noxious parasite of cereal in Sub- Saharan Africa leading to enormous economic losses of above 7 billion US$ yearly. Some of the suggested control methods have been ineffective, therefore, the weed has continued to increase its host range and area under infestation. The objective of this study was to evaluate Alternaria brassicicola isolates against Striga hermonthica seeds' emergence on maize. A greenhouse experiment was performed at KALRO/CYMMTRY Kibos station, Kisumu, Kenya during April to August, 2019. The experiment included local maize landrace known as “Rachar”, Striga hermonthica seeds Kibos ecotype and four strains of Alternaria brassicicola. The treatments were; Soils (Treated) + two maize seed + S. hermonthica seeds + each isolate (LM017, LM013, LM019a and NY021) independently and soils (Treated) + three maize seeds + S. hermonthica seeds only (Control). A. brassicicola isolates LM019a, LM013 and LM017 inhibited Striga seeds emergence by 78.9%, 57.3% and 29.1% respectively. However, isolate NY021 enhanced Striga seeds emergence by 30.4% over the control. This study, established that some strains of A. brassicicola can inhibit the emergence of Striga weed. Therefore, the fungus could be used as a possible bio-agent in the production of mycoherbicide against Striga weed.","PeriodicalId":16980,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Weed Science","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84930178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment comprised three aromatic fine rice varieties viz. BRRI dhan50, BRRI dhan63 and Basmati, and five weed management strategies viz. weedy check (no weeding), two hand weeding at 15 and 30 days after transplanting (DAT), pre-emergence herbicide, Panida 33 EC @ 2.5 l ha-1 + one hand weeding at 30 DAT, post emergence herbicide, Granite 240 SC @ 95 ml ha-1 + one hand weeding at 30 DAT, pre-emergence herbicide, Panida 33 EC @ 2.5 l ha-1 + post emergence herbicide, Granite 240 SC @ 95 ml ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. BRRI dhan50 produced the highest number of effective tillers hill-1 (8.87), number of grains panicle-1 (95.51 grain) and 1000-grain weight (21.45 g) and straw (5.59 t ha-1) yields compared to BRRI dhan63 and Basmati. The highest grain yield (4.31 t ha-1) was produced in BRRI dhan50 which was at par with BRRI dhan63 and the lowest one (3.21 t ha-1) was recoded in Basmati. In case of weed management, the highest number of effective tillers hill-1 (9.62), 1000-grain weight (21.70 g), grain (5.22 t ha-1) and straw (5.64 t ha-1) yields were obtained in pre-emergence herbicide + post emergence herbicide compared to other treatments. In interaction, the highest grain yield (5.54 t ha-1) was obtained in BRRI dhan50 with pre-emergence herbicide + post emergence herbicide, which was statistically identical to BRRI dhan63 with pre-emergence herbicide + post emergence herbicide. Therefore, BRRI dhan50 or BRRI dhan63 can be cultivated with pre-emergence herbicide + post emergence herbicide in Boro season for appreciable grain yields.","PeriodicalId":16980,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Weed Science","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85917615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty clusters from each agro-ecosystem namely fallow land, grazing land, and cultivated land were sampled for soil seed bank assessment. Each cluster was randomly demarcated into five 20 m2 plots. Soils were collected from 0-5 cm, 5-10 cm, and 10-15 cm depths using a 10 cm diameter and 5 cm length cylinder. Coordinates were taken using a hand held GPS (Map76 cx) along transects. Each soil sample was soaked for a minimum of 30 minutes in a solution of sodium hexametaphosphate (50 g/L) and sodium bicarbonate (25 g/L) and poured over a set of three different sieve sizes to remove debris. The results were converted to number of weed seeds per square meter, and statistically analysed using R software version 3.5.1. Quantum GIS (1.8.0) was used to map the distribution of the weed. The soil seed bank in all agro-ecosystems decreased significantly (p <0.05) from 0-5 cm to 10-15 cm soil depths. Mean weed seed densities varied depending on land use but significantly highest in fallow land followed by cultivated land (p <0.05). In cultivated land the top soil had more than twice Siam weed seed densities (1254 seeds/m2) than in the bottom soil layers (597 seeds/m2). The Siam weed was found to have ability to thrive in a wide variety of soils, hence increase its invasion success. Distribution maps of C. odorata in Serengeti district and surrounding areas provide insight on the aggressiveness of the weed according to its spread and infestation levels. Future research work should be carried out to study fallow age in relation to soil seed bank of Chromolaena odorata and physio-chemical properties of the soil and their influence on distribution of the weed.","PeriodicalId":16980,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Weed Science","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83253074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to estimate the abundance of soil seed bank after the harvest of high erucic (HE) cultivar Maplus and to determine biochemical and molecular characteristics of OSR volunteers. The investigation comprised volunteers of oilseed rape obtained from the soil seed bank in two localities in Poland: Dlon and Zielecin (Greater Poland Voivodeship). The seeds of volunteers and reference cultivars were analyzed using biochemical (erucic acid and glucosinolates [GLS]) and molecular biology methods. In seeds of volunteers, erucic acid content ranged from 0 to 57.4% of all fatty acids and glucosinolate content ranged from 5.2 to 105.0 µmol g−1 of seeds. In sowing seeds of the cultivar Maplus, the erucic acid content was 57% and total glucosinolates were 12.6 µmol g−1 of seeds. RAPD markers were used to determine genetic similarity coefficient and relationship between polymorphic RAPD markers and erucic acid and total GLS content. Twenty RAPD markers showed statistically significant association with erucic acid and GLS content in seeds. Volunteers originating from the investigated soil seed bank were characterized by different content of erucic acid and GLS in seeds typical for different types of oilseed rape cultivars: double low (00, canola type), cultivars with zero erucic acid and high GLS content (0HG) and traditional cultivars with high erucic acid and high GLS content (HEHG). The results of this study, especially the presence in soil seed bank the seeds of very old cultivars, confirm that seeds of rapeseed of different origin may persist for a long time at the stage of secondary dormancy.","PeriodicalId":16980,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Weed Science","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81929491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
