The heavy rains that have fallen in recent weeks in the Namibia Desert in Africa have caused one of the most spectacular natural phenomena, the flowering of millions of lilies that for tens of kilometers have covered the sandy soil that has dried completely for three years.

Does Microplastic Contamination in Agricultural Soils Decrease the Efficiency of Herbicides for Weed Control? mdpi.com/3090890 #mdpimicroplastics via MDPI

The story of a dandelion seed Introduction-Development-Conclusion

After seeing multiple posts discussing the flaws of PhD supervisors, finally one representing the other side!

Recently discussed the importance of selecting residual herbicides with varying water solubility. Using herbicides with a range of solubilities increases the likelihood of successful weed control across different weather conditions. #LetsMessUpSomeWeeds

A Weed Science study shows Palmer amaranth devastates furrow-irrigated rice. Just one plant emerging 3–4 weeks after rice can reduce yield within 13 sq. ft., making weed-free fields essential year-round. #WSSA #weedscience #invasiveplants #weedmanagement #foodproduction

How much crop yield is lost when weeds are present? Researchers with a NDSoybean project are testing a model to estimate soybean yield loss from Palmer amaranth and waterhemp interference to show how weeds can impact yield. #USSoy bit.ly/3ufPhd9

Agtech casualties serve up warning about operational costs. Service provider instead of selling. Crowded market. But we still need more tech and more players. agtechnavigator.com/Article/2025/0…

Consider this your yearly reminder that henbit is not a cover crop...

This is why we chose lasers for the future of weed control: unmatched precision, no damage to the crop, and no soil disruption.

🌿 How does #Japaneseknotweed thrive across continents? A new study from USF features how this aggressive invasive weed has evolved since its spread from Japan to Europe & North America. #WSSA #weedscience #invasiveplants

Imagine a weed that grows over an inch a day, chokes out crops & shrugs off common herbicides. It’s not science fiction—it’s Palmer amaranth, & it’s a real threat. Cornell research identifies threats and helps farmers fight back. cornell.edu/research/

Heavy rain can lead to soil loss, the uneven distribution of herbicides, (which can result in variable control and crop injury in products pool in low spots), and the movement of weed seed.

Although weeds cause many problems, they also have benefits. Sometimes they can be a pair of eyes.
