Soil and vineyard vegetation management are tools that may be used to create stable growing conditions for the grapevine roots and to preserve soil fertility for high grape quality in future years. The use of cover crops is commonly practiced in viticultural areas where precipitation exceeds 600-700 min (24-28 in)...
Herbicide resistance is an exceptional marker to quantify gene flow. Quantification of pollen-, seed-, and vegetative propagule-mediated gene flow provides key weed biology information. Pollen-mediated gene flow influences the genetic variance within a population, the frequency of multiple or polygenic herbicide resistance, and the evolutionary dynamics of a species. Seed-mediated...

Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of selected adjuvants on
glyphosate efficacy on yellow nutsedge and tuber production. Glyphosate was applied
at 0, 0.25, 0.43, 0.87, 1.26 (1x rate), and 1.74 kg ae ha⁻¹ 31 d after yellow nutsedge
was planted. Each rate was mixed with one of...
Management of Italian ryegrass in cereal-based cropping systems continues to be a major production constraint in areas of the U.S.A., including the soft white winter wheat producing regions of the Pacific Northwest. Pyroxasulfone is a soil-applied herbicide with the potential to control broadleaf and grass weed species, including grass weed...
Development of herbicide-resistant crops has resulted in significant changes to agronomic practices, one of which is the adoption of effective, simple, low-risk, crop-production systems with less dependency on tillage and lower energy requirements. Overall, the changes have had a positive environmental effect by reducing soil erosion, the fuel use for...
Pacific Northwest wheat growers soon will have an additional option for weed control, but the new tool differs greatly from those traditionally used in cereal production. Clearfield wheat has been selected that is tolerant to the herbicide imazamox. When integrated with traditional weed management tools, imazamox will control several weed...
