Abstract Mechanical weed control tools are commonly used in the production of many vegetable and field crops. This study aimed to determine impact species growth stage on finger weeder performances reveal relation between root morphology, uprooting force efficacy. A one‐month experiment with two model species, Triticum aestivum L. (grass) Sinapis alba (broadleaf), showed that efficacy was affected by stage: Finger‐weeder application during first stages (cotyledon second leaf) more effective...
Trianthema portulacastrum L. (Aizoaceae), commonly known as desert horse purslane or black pigweed, is a C4 dicot succulent annual herb that widespread in Southeast Asia, tropical America, Africa, and Australia. In Israel, it an invasive weed of increasing importance agricultural fields. The aim this study was to investigate the biology its spread Hula Valley Israel. Initial studies included investigation T. specimens held at Israel National Herbarium. On-site surveillance for identification...
Abstract Silverleaf nightshade ( Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav.) has become a highly troublesome weed in irrigated summer crops Israel. Because herbicide-based options to control this are limited, the best way improve is through study of its biology, particularly germination dynamics. The main objective was determine impact temperature on seed dynamics S. and develop temperature-based (thermal) prediction model for three populations growing different ecosystems To end, laboratory undertaken...
Abstract Silverleaf nightshade ( Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav.), a noxious, highly invasive perennial weed, poses significant threat to irrigated summer crops, vegetables, and orchards. This weed has the ability reproduce both sexually through seed production asexually via an extensive underground rhizome network, latter playing major role in weed’s invasion, establishment, persistence. Our aims were thus assess impact of temperature on sprouting for fragments different lengths model dynamics....
Cynanchum acutum L. (Asclepiadaceae) is a perennial vine weed widespread in the Mediterranean region. In Israel, it native to areas such as Golan Heights, Galilee, and northern Negev. Recently, its range has expanded Arava Valley southern part of Israel. this study, we investigate biology phenology C. plants originating from both invasive populations. To achieve this, utilized rhizomes area region characterized by hyper-arid desert climate (Yahel), temperate (Gvat). Additionally, examine...
