At the global level, invasion of alien organisms is considered second largest threat to biodiversity. The assumption that high allelopathic potential one features helps invasive plant species spread new areas. Allelopathic 8 (donor species) and their impact on test-species was determined in study. Donor were velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Med.), ragweed (Ambrosia elatior L.), jimsonweed (Datura stramonium common cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium tree heaven (Ailanthus altissima (Mill.)...

Introduction Ambrosia artemisiifolia , a highly invasive weed species, poses significant challenges to agriculture and human health. This study investigated the germination thresholds physical properties of A. populations from diverse regions in Europe, encompassing Serbia, Croatia, Italy, France. Results revealed intriguing variations among populations. The Italian population exhibited lowest base temperature (T b ) 0.58°C, closely followed by Croatian (1.49°C), statistically similar...

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...

Several cover crops (CCs) exert allelopathic effects that suppress weed growth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate aqueous extracts containing different concentrations [0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% (w/v)] Brassicaceae CCs (Sinapis alba, Raphanus sativus, Camellina sativa) Fagopyrum esculentum Guizotia abyssinica on germination early growth Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. were species concentration-dependent. C. sativa, for example, caused greatest potential inhibit germination, shoot,...

Summary Abutilon theophrasti is a weed that spreading worldwide and has had to adapt different combinations of environmental conditions. Wide interpopulation variability been reported regarding dormancy germination. This variability, controlled by the interaction genetic diversity maternal effect, could hinder adoption Integrated Weed Management ( IWM ) tools. A collaborative project was conducted compare emergence dynamics 12 European North American populations under diverse The main aim...

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...

Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv. is the most common monocotyledonous weed in maize crops Croatia. Crop–weed interference influenced by emergence patterns, and knowledge of timing crucial for development an efficient integrated weed-management program. Therefore, two-year field experiments were conducted a crop sown early May continental Croatia to determine pattern E. from natural seedbank. In laboratory studies, estimated base temperature water potential Croatian ecotype 10.8 °C −0.97...

Effective weed management depends on correct control timing, which seedling emergence dynamics. Since soil temperature and moisture are the two main factors that determine germination, hydrothermal time model can be used to predict their emergence. The aim of this study was estimate base (Tb) water potential (Ψb) for germination Chenopodium album, Amaranthus retroflexus, Setaria pumila, Panicum capillare collected from fields in continental Croatia then compare these values with those...

Huds. is an important pinoxaden-resistant grass weed in many countries of Europe. Recently, the low efficacy pinoxaden was reported winter cereals Croatia, but a preliminary dose-response trial showed no herbicide resistance for investigated population. Therefore, two-year experiment conducted under greenhouse conditions to determine various doses (20, 40 and 80 g a.i. ha

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...

Abstract BACKGROUND The common weeds Echinochloa crus‐galli L. and Setaria glauca L . were studied for their sensitivity to aqueous extracts or dry biomass of the following cover crops (CCs): Brassicaceae ( Sinapis alba , Raphanus sativus var. Oleiformis Camellina sativa ), Fagopyrum esculentum Guizotia abyssinica RESULTS Treating E. with mixed CCs individual brassica CC significantly reduced germination. S. C.

The aim of the research was to determinate degree variation in morphological (seed weight) and functional polymorphism (final germination, dormancy, seed mortality germination dynamic) within two populations Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. Seeds were collected separately from 20 plants/population Jastebarsko (45°40'18˝N; 15°39'03˝E), population-J Popovača (45°34´1˝N; 16°40´43˝E), population-P 2014.
