Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEvaluation of the Use of Rice Bran Compost for Eco-friendly Weed Control in Organic Farming SystemsM.A.I. Khan, K. Ueno, S. Horimoto et al.Rice bran compost (RC) was evaluated under greenhouse and field conditions for eco-friendly weed control of vegetable crops in organic farming systems. RC was applied 7 days before spinach seed sowing, at the rate of 0% (control), 10%, 20% and 30% of soil (v/v) in the greenhouse and 2 kg m-2 under field conditions. RC significantly controlled the number and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,927 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEvaluation of the Upland Weed Control Potentiality of Green Tea Waste-Rice Bran Compost and Its Effect on Spinach GrowthM.A.I. Khan, K. Ueno, S. Horimoto et al.This study evaluated the upland weed control potentiality, germination inhibition ability and growth suppression efficiency of the five combinations of green tea waste - rice bran compost (GRC). GRC was prepared by mixing green tea waste and rice bran at five ratios, and allowed to decompose for 5 mo. Application of GRC suppressed weed growth up to 93.4% in number … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,203 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Integrated Weed Management on Yield and Yield Component of Bread Wheat in Guji Zone, Southern OromiaLulu Misgana, Yared Tesfaye, Dagne Abu et al.Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important food crops in the world, providing a staple food for over 35% of the global population; in Ethiopia, however, production in highland regions like the Guji zone is severely constrained by heavy weed infestation, causing significant yield gaps. While Integrated Weed Management (IWM) is a promising solution, locally validated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 5 Dec 2025 · 3,424 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHepato and Nephrotoxicity Caused by Sub-Chronic Exposure to Relevant Concentrations of Human Exposure to Glyphosate-Based Herbicide: An Experimental Study in RatsFernanda de Maria Serra, Letícia Rocha Magalhães, Beatriz Bertholace Magalhães Silva et al.Glyphosate's remarkable effectiveness in weed control has made it among the foremost widely employed herbicides globally. Several Glyphosate-Based Herbicides (GBHs) contain 1-4 dioxane, a compound known to induce cancer in animals and potentially contribute to liver and kidney damage in humans. The objective was to assess the liver and kidney toxicity resulting from sub-chronic exposure to GBH in rats. Eighty … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 2 · 26 Dec 2023 · 5,194 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWillingness to Pay for Water Hyacinth Control in NepalUmesh Khatri, Resham Bahadur Thapa-Parajuli, Uttam PaudelWater Hyacinth (WH) has become a growing problem across Asia, specifically in Nepal. Infestations of this weed have reached critical proportions in freshwater bodies, causing environmental, economic, agricultural and social problems. These problems have corresponding monetary values. This study elicits the willingness of visitors and local people to control WH in the Phewa Lake in Nepal. Considering three scenarios encircling … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 14 Nov 2018 · 8,189 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF A MACHINE VISION SYSTEM FOR WEED DETECTION DURING BOTH OF OFF-SEASON AND IN-SEASON IN BROADACRE NO-TILLAGE CROPPING LANDSHuajian Liu, Sang Heng Lee, Chris SaundersMore than half of the Australian cropping land is no-tillage and weed control within continuous no-tillage agricultural cropping area is becoming more and more difficult. A major problem is that the heavy herbicide usage causes some of more prolific weeds becoming more resistant to the regular herbicides and therefore more powerful and more expensive options are being pursued. To overcome … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2014 · 8,112 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Wheat-Chickpea Intercrops as Influenced by Nitrogen and Weed ManagementA. Abdulahi, A. Dabbagh Mohammadi Nassab, S. Nasrolahzadeh et al.Wheat and chickpea are most important crops in dryland farming areas of Iran. Weeds have major impact on chickpea grain yield. This experiment was carried out to increase land use efficiency and weed suppression through intercropping in dryland agricultural research station-Sararood, Kermanshah, Iran during 2008-10. The experimental design layout was factorial split plot based on randomized complete block design with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Dec 2012 · 8,681 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncorporation of Bentazone with Exserohilum rostratum for Controlling Cyperus iriaFranklin Ragai Kundat, Loo Hong Shen, Osumanu Haruna AhmedProblem statement: Various methods are used to counter the population of Cyperus iria in rice fields and among the most common method are chemical approaches. Chemical control methods are preferred by rice farmers due to their efficacy, speed, ease of storage and affordable cost. The concern of chemical herbicides is on its effects on the environment. Less attention had been … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 5 Sep 2011 · 9,525 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Effects of Abiotic Stress on Infection of Dyer’s Woad (Isatis tinctoria L.) by Puccinia thlaspeos C. Schub.: Implications for Biological ControlElizabeth Thomas, Bradley Ray KroppProblem statement: The rust pathogen, Puccinia thlaspeos, is being studied as a potential biocontrol agent for the noxious weed dyer’s woad. Although its disease etiology is well understood, very little has been learned about the effect of environmental stresses on infection. Approach: Dyer’s woad plants were exposed to different levels of oxidative stress, salinity stress, osmotic stress, dehydration, and cold … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,715 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeed Detection over Between-Row of Sugarcane Fields Using Machine Vision with Shadow Robustness Technique for Variable Rate Herbicide ApplicatorA. Muangkasem, S. Thainimit, R. Keinprasit, T. IsshikiProblem statement: Uniformly herbicide rate is used as a conventional practice in Thailand for controlling weeds in sugarcane fields. Since weeds usually grow in certain areas with non-uniformly distribution, uniform herbicide rate approach is not suitable and non-sustainable agricultural technique both in terms of economic an environmental aspect. To address these issues, Variable Herbicide Rate (VHR) was introduced. The VHR … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,232 accessesView PDF Cite
