This study aimed to investigate whether different doses of specific phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid, caffeic ferulic gallic protocatechuic p-hydroxybenzoic syringic vanillic and p-coumaric acid), alone or in combination, can inhibit the early growth common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Asterales: Asteraceae). A seed bioassay was performed Petri dishes placed a climate chamber assess effects five dose levels radicle shoot length, as well seedling biomass A. artemisiifolia. The lowest...
Abstract Heat disinfection of soil can be used to reduce the content seedbank. However, species differ in lethal temperature needed for seed destruction and mortality. Laboratory research was conducted on seeds two weed species, redroot pigweed ( Amaranthus retroflexus L.) yellow foxtail [ Setaria pumila (Poir.) Roem. & Schult]. The samples were collected at experimental station Šašinovečki Lug, Zagreb, Croatia (45.850289°N, 16.180465°E), exposed linearly increasing constant temperatures...
With the increasing demand for non-chemical weed control methods, phenolic acids have shown promise due to their natural inhibitory potential. In this study, effect of ferulic acid, vanillic acid and p -coumaric was investigated on Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. selectivity Zea mays against these tested. The seeds A . Z were treated in vitro with three at doses 200–600 × 10 −7 mol vivo foliar plants. While all had effects early growth , significantly reduced length radicle hypocotyl by more than...
Weeds can be one of the most severe threats to crop production, especially when they are widespread and highly adaptable. Part adaptive strategy plants is ability germinate in different conditions. Germination first developmental phase plant life fundamental for its establishment. In this work, germination two populations Datura stramonium L. at sites Croatia (one cropped, other non-agricultural) was tested under a wide range salinity stress, 4, 8, 12, 16 dS/m, pH values 1–9, temperature...
Herbicides are the most commonly used means of controlling growth Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. Their constant use has led to development resistant populations. They can be evaluated by studying seed germination and corresponding grown plants, but A. exhibits dormancy, preventing delaying research. Here, we developed a simple rapid method stimulate freshly collected or stored seeds. The collected/stored seeds was after storage, stratification, chemical treatments (ethephon, gibberellic acid...
Soil pH can affect the adsorption of mesotrione and exacerbate crop injury under non-acidic conditions. samples collected from same location were irrigated with water solutions 7.5, 6.5, 5.5, 4.5 treated 72, 36, 24, 18, 9, 4.5, 2.3, 1.1 g a.i. (active ingredient) mesotrione/ha. Bean growth was monitored over 28 days. solution did not influence effect on plant fresh weight, while herbicide-induced visual reduction in carotenoid content significantly mitigated acidic The lowest rate (1.1...
