We conducted a previous systematic and meta‐analysis review that showed differences in results from studies evaluated the effectiveness of cover crops for weed suppression cropping systems; these were largely due to management approaches used growing crop main crop. The current provides quantitative on how practices influence impact suppression. observations 53 published 1990 2018. Cover biomass was inversely related amount ( r 2 = 0.67) density 0.64). In general, shows provided range...
Field experiments were conducted in 1992 to 1993 and 1995 1996 Ibadan, Nigeria, assess the effect of velvetbean herbicides on maize (corn) cogongrass growth regrowth weed 1 yr after treatment. In cover cropping with imazapyr glyphosate application reduced density as much handweeded control. The smothering was equivalent that at 1.8 kg/ha but less than even lowest rate 0.5 kg/ha. Addition adjuvant did not improve efficacy either herbicide. Maize grain yield higher plots fallow dominated by...
The role of preplant glyphosate applications and residual herbicides in the efficacy for weed management double-crop no-till glyphosate-resistant soybean (GRS) was investigated coastal plains Mid-Atlantic United States. experiment had a two- by five-factorial treatment structure laid out three or four randomized complete blocks at research centers Delaware New Jersey. factors were management: no applications; postemergence (POST) herbicide treatments: 0.8 kg ae/ha alone kg/ha tank-mixed with...
Summary A reconnaissance survey of the occurrence Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A, Gray in south western Nigeria was carried out along major highways linking Ibadan to towns be‐tween April and August 1991 1992. The revealed that T, is prominent Ibadan—Oyo—Ogbomoshollorin, Iba‐dan—Abeokuta Oyo—lseyin—Saki roads, common Ibadan—lwo—Osogbo—Offa, Ibadan—Ife—Akure, Ife—Ondo Ibadan—Ijebu Ode roads It rare Ibadan—Ikeja, Akure‐Ado Ekiti—Kabba, Ilorin—Jebba, Ijebu Ode—Benin City—Asaba roads.

Field studies were conducted under full-season conventional tillage in Delaware and New Jersey to determine the critical time apply glyphosate with or without residual herbicides for optimum weed control glyphosate-resistant soybean (GRS). The tank-mixed (0.84 kg/ha) clomazone (0.55 imazethapyr (0.063 kg/ha). Herbicide application was made at cracking, unifoliate, one- six-trifoliate stages of GRS. Weeds varied growth from preemergence (PRE) cracking an average height 30 cm stage activity by...
The efficacy of glyphosate applied alone or in combination with residual herbicides full-season no-till glyphosate-resistant soybean (GRS) was investigated New Jersey and Delaware on sandy drought-prone soils. Treatments were a two- by five-factorial arrangement laid out three four randomized complete blocks. factors were—two preplant applications: applications no applications; two herbicide treatments: 0.8 kg ae/ha kg/ha tank-mixed 0.6 ai/ha clomazone plus 0.07 imazethapyr; application at...
A bioassay using red beet root length indicated an increase in imazethapyr bioactivity Berryland sand (BLS) as soil pH increased from 3.7 to 6.5. Increasing above 6.5 had no effect on bioactivity. The lowest concentrations detected by the at were 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5 10 μg kg −1 acidwashed quartz sand, BLS, Aura loamy muck soil, respectively. After application of 0.07 ae ha with 12.5 mm simulated rainfall 3-d intervals, remained 0 15 cm BLS columns. Under this regime, herbicide moved 30 deep...
This study compared the effect of weed control and orchard floor management (OFMA) options including organic mulch on summer annual interference in a newly established peach orchard. Weed where no preemergence (PRE) herbicides were applied, vole damage, caused 29% tree mortality, reduced trunk cross-sectional area (TCSA) 62% by fourth year establishment, fruit yield number 1999 73 75%, respectively, but had size. Compared with no-till or conventionally tilled floor, population grassy weeds...
Summary: Field experiments were conducted in the early and late cropping seasons of 1979 on a loamysand Oxic Ustropept subhumid environment Nigeria, using 40000, 50000 30000 + 40000 plants ha −1 maize ( Zea mays L. cv. TZB), cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. VITA‐5) maize/cowpea intercrop respectively. These indicated that weed interference effects crops under no‐tillage depended season, pattern crop species. In respectively, thirty‐five twenty‐nine different species recorded dry weights...
The rapid expansion of Asian populations in the United States presents significant opportunities and challenges for eastern U.S. produce sector to take advantage their close proximity densely populated areas. Initial crop studies followed by ethnic consumer surveys were conducted examine vegetable, leafy green, herb consumption expenditures among Chinese, Indians, other groups. Consumer choices used prioritize subsequent production trials. Family determined specific types total purchases....
Micro/baby-greens are gaining popularity in human diets as functional foods that deliver superior nutritional values and health benefits to consumers. This study conducted multiple times between 2017 2019 under greenhouse conditions the field at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, Jersey, USA, showed micro/baby-greens from tropical spinach (Amaranthus sp.) roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) rich digestible carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber. On dry weight basis, both vegetables have high...
Tigernut or 'chufa' (Cyperus esculentus L. var. sativus) is gaining popularity in the United States as a high energy tuber crop known for sweet and chewy taste, 40-45% gluten-free digestible carbohydrate, dietary fiber content, healthful fatty acid profile (73% monounsaturated, 18% saturated, 9% polyunsaturated-similar to olive oil), oleic acid, P, K, vitamins C.

Giant sensitiveplant interference at different population densities in cassava established 10,000 plants ha−1 was investigated on a Ferric Luvisol humid tropical environment. Interference for 12 mo compared 0, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 40,000 natural populations (averaging 630,000 ha−1) four randomized complete blocks. Results showed that the order of growth parameter response to giant leaf number > height stem girth size = petiole length. The density reduced faster more than cassava....
Greenhouse studies were conducted with soil columns to determine the influence of rainfall amount, intensity, and time application on bioactivity 0.07 kg ae ha −1 imazethapyr in three soils New Jersey: Berryland sand (BLS) (sandy, siliceous, mesic Typic Haplaquod), Aura sandy loam (ASL) (mixed, Hapludult), Quakertown silt (QSIL) Hapludult). The Brockman-Duke simulated machine was used for smooth pigweed as an indicator. As amount increased from low high (75 300 mm mo equivalent) declined...
Summary: Early growth and nutrient content of crops weeds from weed‐free weedy no‐tillage maize ( Zea mays L, cv. TZB), cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp.
