R.M. King &amp; H. Rob.], a globally invasive weed with destructive effects on forests, has spread to numerous countries. To elucidate the inhibition of tree growth by A. adenophora , a study was conducted using the fungi ( Lactarius deliciosus , Ceriporia lacerat and Fomitopsis palustris ) involved in the recycling of carbon and nutrients in forests. The focus was on investigating soil nitrogen and phosphorus availability, in response to aqueous extracts from uncomposted and aerobically composted A. adenophora (EUA and ECA, respectively). The samples of CA from different sites exhibited a significant reduction in the concentration of allelochemicals 4,7-dimethyl-1-(propan-2-ylidene)-1,4,4a,8a-tetrahydronaphthalene-2,6(1H, 7H)-dione and 6-hydroxy-5-isopropyl-3,8-dimethyl-4a,5,6,7,8,8a-hexahydronaphthalen-2(1H)-one. This reduction more than 94% when compared to the concentration of these allelochemicals in CA. The EUA solutions at 5.0 and 10 mg L -1 (oven-dried plant biomass base) minimized Lactarius deliciosus and Ceriporia lacerate growth, and significantly decreased Fomitopsis palustris growth on the soil surface and within the soil. However, soil with ECA had no effect or promoting effect on the fungal growth. Compared to CK (only fungal inoculation in tested soil), the EUA solution reduced soil nitrogen and phosphorus, while ECA had the opposite effect; soil pH was increased by 0.01-0.08 under EUA treatment, while decreased by 0.5-0.41under ECA treatment. Nitrogen and phosphorus availability were positively correlated with protease and phosphatase activity ( r = 0.723-0.944), while available phosphorus was inversely correlated with pH in tested soils ( r = -(0.809-0.978)). As such, the EUA solution decreased soil nitrogen and phosphorus supplies by inhibiting the liberation of proteases, phosphatases, and protons, which may lead to poor growth or even mortality of three fungal species. The in situ aerobically composted A. adenophora residues left may directly supply fungal specie with nutrients and indirectly increase soil nutrient availability via the promotion of nitrogen and phosphorus mobilization.","PeriodicalId":23688,"journal":{"name":"Weed Science","volume":"223 19","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135476650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, an outbreak of weedy rice has recently spread throughout the region. Weedy rice is phenotypically and morphologically similar to cultivated rice, making identification difficult. The prospective management of weedy rice in the future will involve the study of its genetic diversity and population structure in this region. This study assesses the genetic diversity and population structure of 380 weedy rice samples in the northeast of Thailand through simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Thirty-one SSR markers generated 213 alleles with an average of 6.87 per locus and an overall gene diversity of 0.723. Based on its geographical origin, weedy rice in the Southern NE showed greater gene diversity than that in the Central NE and Northern NE areas. The out-crossing rate in all regions was relatively high, with the highest being in the Southern NE at 9.769%. According to genetic distance analysis, the clustering of weedy rice samples in Northeast Thailand was not associated with the geographical region. Neighbor-joining and principal coordinate analysis revealed that the 380 weedy rice samples fell into two major clusters. Cluster I contained three weedy rice samples and four wild. In Cluster II, 377 weedy rice samples were closely related to the four cultivated rice cultivars as well as brownbeard rice ( Oryza rufipogon Griffiths) wild species. The results suggest that weedy rice in Northeast Thailand may have originated as a cross between cultivated and wild rice, as seen in the closely related species, O. rufipogon . Overall, the findings of this study demonstrate the high genetic diversity of weedy rice in this region. Notably, some samples adapted, performing more like cultivated rice, which may be problematic for the future production of high-quality rice in this region. The prevention of weedy rice should, therefore, be given greater consideration in future studies.","PeriodicalId":23688,"journal":{"name":"Weed Science","volume":"1985 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135411508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A review of research data generated across the United States and Canada indicated that unmanaged weeds have the potential to reduce corn and soybean production by approximately 50%, even when other best management practices are applied (Soltani et al. 2016, 2017). The associated economic losses, which were estimated at 26.7 and 17.2 billion USD for corn and soybeans, respectively, would be catastrophic. Weeds can also interfere with crops, indirectly. For example, weeds may impede or delay harvest operations (Smith et al. 2000), reduce crop quality because of contamination (Moore et al. 2004), and serve as alternate hosts for pests and pathogens (Chen et al. 2011; Wisler and Norris 2005). Other habitats, such as rangelands, wetlands, and other natural and urban areas, are also affected by weedy and invasive plant species. Impacts of unwanted vegetation can include damage to infrastructure, damage to recreational space, altered water flow, degraded natural resources, reduced biodiversity and species displacement, and a loss of ecosystem services, among other effects (DiTomaso 2000; Jetter et al. 2021; Neal 2023; Vilà et al. 2011).","PeriodicalId":23688,"journal":{"name":"Weed Science","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135412284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Delaying cereal rye termination until soybean planting (planting green) optimizes biomass production and weed suppression but might further impact the fate of preemergence herbicides. Limited research is available on the fate of preemergence herbicides applied over living cereal rye in the planting green system. Field experiments were conducted in Illinois, Kansas, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to evaluate the fate of flumioxazin and pyroxasulfone and Amaranthus spp. residual control under different cover crop management practices in soybean in 2021 and 2022 (8 site-years). A flumioxazin + pyroxasulfone herbicide premix was applied preemergence at soybean planting under no-till without cereal rye, cereal rye early terminated before soybean planting, and cereal rye terminated at soybean planting. Flumioxazin and pyroxasulfone concentrations in the soil were quantified at 0, 7, and 21 d after treatment (DAT) and Amaranthus spp. density was determined at postemergence herbicide application. The presence of cereal rye biomass intercepted flumioxazin and pyroxasulfone at preemergence application and reduced concentration in the soil when compared to no-till, mainly at 0 DAT. Main differences in herbicide concentration were observed between no-till and cereal rye treatments rather than cereal rye termination times. Despite reducing herbicide concentration in the soil, early-season residual Amaranthus spp. control was not affected by the presence of the cereal rye biomass. The adoption of effective preemergence herbicides associated with a properly managed cereal rye cover crop is an effective option for integrated Amaranthus spp. management programs in soybean production systems.","PeriodicalId":23688,"journal":{"name":"Weed Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135883602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In arable fields, P. annua is frequently of lower priority in weed control programmes due to the variety of control options available and the relatively modest impact on crop yield than other species. In Ireland, postemergence herbicides are not primarily intended for P. annua control, but some herbicides, including acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibitor mesosulfuron-methyl + iodosulfuron-methyl, exhibit P. annua -activity. In this study, a suspected P. annua population (POAAN-R) that survived mesosulfuron-methyl + iodosulfuron-methyl at 0.75 of field-recommended rate was sampled from a wheat field in County Dublin, Ireland. Single-dose testing confirmed that the suspected POAAN-R had evolved resistance to mesosulfuron-methyl + iodosulfuron-methyl and additionally, to pyroxsulam (not registered in Ireland for P. annua control), but was sensitive to clethodim, glyphosate, pendimethalin and flufenacet. Dose-response experiments indicated that POAAN-R was more resistant (GR 50 resistance index) to both mesosulfuron-methyl + iodosulfuron-methyl (47.8 times) and pyroxsulam (38.0 times) than sensitive POAAN-S and this was associated with the mutation at tryptophan (Trp)-574 in ALS protein. Malathion (a cytochrome P450 inhibitor) pre-treatment did not reverse POAAN-R resistance to mesosulfuron-methyl + iodosulfuron-methyl or pyroxsulam at field rate or above. The natural inherent mutation at isoleucine (Ile)-1781 in ACCase protein had no effect on both POAAN-R and POAAN-S sensitivity to clethodim. The glyphosate sensitivity of POAAN-R also corresponded with no known mutation in EPSPS protein. Based on field histories, poor early-season weed control coupled with intensive use of mesosulfuron-methyl + iodosulfuron-methyl (often at reduced rates) has unintentionally selected for ALS-inhibitor-resistant POAAN-R. This is the first report to characterize resistance in P. annua to ALS-mesosulfuron-methyl + iodosulfuron-methyl and pyroxsulam in an arable setting. There is an opportunity to effectively control POAAN-R using herbicides, but this needs a wide-ranging and varied approach, coupled with cultural/non-chemical practices.","PeriodicalId":23688,"journal":{"name":"Weed Science","volume":"227 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135855578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although evolution of resistance to auxinic herbicides proceeded more slowly than for some other herbicide chemistries, it has become a major problem in the dicotyledonous weeds of many cropping areas of the world. With the molecular characterisation of the auxin perception and signalling pathway in the mid-2000s came a greater understanding of how auxinic herbicides work, and how resistance may develop in weeds subjected to repeated selection with these herbicides. In wild radish ( Raphanus raphanistrum L.) populations in southern Australia, resistance to multiple herbicides, including synthetic auxins such as 2,4-D, has reduced the number of chemical control options available. The aim of this study was to determine if compounds involved in auxin biosynthesis, transport and signalling are able to synergise with 2,4-D and increase its ability to control 2,4-D-resistant R. raphanistrum populations. Although some mild synergism was observed with a few compounds (abscisic acid, cyclanilide, tryptamine), the response was not large or consistent enough to warrant further study. Similarly, alternative auxinic herbicides applied pre- or post-emergence were no more effective than 2,4-D. Therefore, whilst use of auxinic herbicides continues to increase due to the adoption of transgenic resistant crops, non-chemical control techniques will become more important and chemical control of 2,4-D-resistant R. raphanistrum should be undertaken with alternative modes of action, using mixtures and good stewardship to delay the development of resistance for as long as possible.","PeriodicalId":23688,"journal":{"name":"Weed Science","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134976031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of functional densities instead of demographic densities was proposed to minimize those biases. This work explored three models to determine reference densities for replacement series experiments based on 1) maximum biomass, 2) biomass at onset of diminishing returns (i.e., inflection point), and 3) N uptake equivalency. Replacement series experiments were conducted using redroot pigweed ( Amaranthus hybridus L.):maize ( Zea mays L.) and giant foxtail ( Setaria faberi Herrm.):maize proportions of 1:0, 0.75:0.25, 0.5:0.5, 0.25:0.75, and 0:1. The monoculture density for each species was established according to the three models. Density selection criteria resulted in major differences in competitive interactions between species. The use of functional densities at which the biomass accumulation inflection point for the smaller species allowed both species to exhibit either increases or decreases in biomass production depending on competitive interactions for all inter-specific mixtures. Conversely, the maximum biomass model favored the larger species almost completely inhibiting the growth of the smaller species, which resulted in a poor characterization of competitive responses of the smaller species. The N uptake equivalency model resulted in interactions closer to the predicted neutral competition. The model based on the biomass accumulation inflection point was the most sensitive and informative across all inter-specific mixtures for both species. We propose that to reduce bias associated with species size differences when determining reference densities for replacement series experiments, at least two criteria must be met: 1) the experiment sensitivity allows measuring and quantifying the competitive responses for both species in all mixtures, and 2) the balance between density and carrying capacity of the system minimizes intra-specific competition.","PeriodicalId":23688,"journal":{"name":"Weed Science","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134975883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No difference in absorption of [ 14 C]MCPA was found between MSS or KCTR. However, the KCTR plants translocated less [ 14 C]MCPA at 48 hours after treatment (HAT) and metabolized more MCPA rapidly than MSS plants at 12 and 24 HAT.

We compiled 1,904 pair-wise observations from 35 studies conducted in 12 states in the United States during 1961 to 2018. Averaged across individual observations, narrow row spacing suppressed weed density by 34%, weed biomass by 55%, and weed seed production by 45%, while it improved weed control by 32% and crop yield by 11% compared with 76-cm row spacing. Narrow row spacing in soybean suppressed weed density by 42%, weed biomass by 71%, and increased crop yield by 12% compared with 76-cm row spacing. Although narrow row spacing had a nonsignificant effect on response variables in corn, the number of studies ( n = 1 to 6) and observations ( n = 1 to 59) addressing each response variable were limited. Tillage type (conventional and reduced) did not influence the response of weed density, control, and seed production in narrow row spacing; however, weed biomass and weed seed production were more greatly reduced with the sequential application of herbicides compared with a single application. Thus, narrow row spacing in soybean can be integrated with other options for management of herbicide-resistant weeds.","PeriodicalId":23688,"journal":{"name":"Weed Science","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136308400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
