Abstract:
... Thirteen herbicide tankmixes were evaluated during 2013–2015 for control of glyphosate-resistant (GR) Canada fleabane in soybean. Glyphosate + saflufenacil + s-metolachlor/metribuzin, glyphosate + amitrole, and glyphosate + metribuzin were the most efficacious, controlling 86%–92% of GR Canada fleabane, reducing density by 98%–99% and aboveground biomass by 96%–97%. ...

Amaranthus retroflexus; Chenopodium album; Solanum lycopersicum; absorption; allometry; canopy; far-red light; growth chambers; leaves; plant height; red light; root systems; seedlings; surface area; tomatoes; weeds
Abstract:
... Red/far-red (R/FR) ratio, a signal of impending competition from neighbouring plants, fluctuates in plant canopies because of selective absorption of red light and transmission and reflection of far-red light by leaves. The differential response of a crop and associated weeds to changes in R/FR ratio could therefore influence competitive interaction among them. In a growth chamber study, growth, m ...

Abstract:
... Canola (Brassica napus L.) is the most widespread profitable cash crop in Canada. In 2014 and 2015, direct-seeded experiments were conducted in 16 western Canada environments. “Small” canola seed (average 3.32–3.44 g 1000⁻¹) was compared to “large” canola seed (average 4.96–5.40 g 1000⁻¹) at five seeding rates (50, 75, 100, 125 or 150 seeds m⁻²). Large canola seeds increased crop density and crop ...
