Weeds may host crop #pests. Out of 10 weed species studied, Araujo et al. found that Macroptilium lathyroides and #Ricinus communis were good alternative hosts of yam dry rot #nematodes, while only Euphorbia hyssopifolia was considered a non-host. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Do weeds have transgenerational memory? Drought stress and low doses of glyphosate effectively decreased herbicide sensitivity in the progenies of Eragrotis plana. Follow the link to access this article by Fipke et al. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Here, Merotto Jr et al. analyzed the history of herbicide use in South America and found that agriculture intensification, no-till, patent expirations, glyphosate tolerant crops, and herbicide-resistant weeds were the key drivers of herbicide use changes. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

The Amaranthus genus encompasses major agricultural weeds worldwide. Gonçalves Netto et al. concluded that resistance to chlorimuron in Amaranthus spp. is present in the main soybean producing regions in Brazil, averaging 26% of the samples evaluated. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Eragrotis plana is an important invasive and perennial weed in southern Brazil. Here, Caratti et al. showed that glyphosate (700 g a.e. ha-1) controls this weed at the 2-3 tiller stage, whereas a mixture with fluazifop improved glyphosate translocation. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Here, Sahin evaluated direct (DC) and alternating current (AC) effects on barley. DC showed better performance overall, and mortality was positively correlated with voltage used, highlighting the potential of using electricity as a weed control method. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Selective control of 𝐸𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑎 using glyphosate? Exactly! Good results were found by Merotto et al. by employing a pressurized rope wick applicator using a volume of glyphosate diammonium between 8 and 40 L ha-1. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Herbicides mixtures are key for managing herbicide resistance, but antagonistic interactions reduce herbicide efficiency. Here, Agostinetto et al. found that increasing clethodim rates and spray volume can reduce antagonism of 2,4-D for ryegrass control. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

The presence of straw on the soil may contribute to weed management in several production systems. Here, Gazola et al. concluded that maize straw at 5 t/ha helps manage key weed species such as sourgrass, fleabane and goosegrass, but not wild poinsettia doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

We proudly share that the journal´s impact factor is 2.1 as per Clarivates´ most recent Journal Citation Reports. A worthy reward for the effort made by so many contributors. We thank the authors for entrusting us with their work, and invite you to submit your manuscript to AWS

Here, Corral et al. evaluated the effect of up to three #glyphosate applications on biological #nitrogen fixation (BNF) and growth of glyphosate-tolerant #soybeans, and concluded that multiple applications can have detrimental effects on BNF and growth. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

The evolutionary complexities of herbicide resistance in the Amaranthus genus are discussed in this work by Yanniccari et al. as well as their remarkable adaptability, especially in the Americas where these pose a significant threat due to resistance cases doi.org/10.51694/10.51…

Here, Chadha et al. found that florpyrauxifen-benzyl can help manage new Cyperus aromaticus infestations prior to the establishment of rhizomes. Limited impact on established plants suggests other management options should be employed for proper control doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Carbon-rich substrates can be used for bioremediation. Here, Dick et al. evaluated atrazine sorption/desorption in pig slurry & byproducts from timber & charcoal factories. All substrates sorbed atrazine similarly regardless of C content or hydrophobicity doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Integrating multiple weed control tools such as cover crops and herbicides enhances agricultural sustainability in the long term, as demonstrated by Rudell et al. who found that rye + turnip effectively reduced weed density and higher soybean yields doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Weeds remain a main yield-limiting factor in Southeast #Asia. Here, Casimero et al. propose a framework that embraces integrated & precise weed management, involving stakeholders to increase investment in R&D and educate #farmers & industry players. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Worldwide, different #rice production systems are observed, but despite the system, #weeds remain one of the main factors impacting grain yields. Submit your work to our Special Issue: Weed Management in Rice. Submission Deadline October 15th, 2023. awsjournal.org/special-issues…

Here, Conciani et al. assessed five species' ability to remediate #tebuthiuron-contaminated soil, and found that sorghum and ##peanuts significantly reduced herbicide concentration, the latter achieving a remarkable 76% reduction. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

The availability of genomic resources eases the detection of herbicide-resistant plants. Here, Carranza et al. obtained the first partial sequence of ALS from #junglerice, and did not find ALS mutations in a penoxsulam-resistant population from Colombia doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…

Here, Barbieri et al. compile information on physiological and physicochemical interactions between #herbicides, addressing the most known cases of synergism, antagonism, and additivity and methods for evaluating herbicide #mixtures & interactions. doi.org/10.51694/AdvWe…
