Effect of early and late post emergence herbicides on weed suppression, crop injury, and biomass yield of industrial hemp in semiarid conditions

Preetaman Bajwa, Rupinder Saini, Sukhbir Singh, Jasleen Makkar et al. • Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment (2025)

Abstract Industrial hemp is receiving attention for its numerous benefits, particularly in the fiber industry. Weed competition is a primary concern for hemp cultivation, causing reduced yields and inferior‐quality fiber. However, little is...

Impacts of introduced Rangifer on ecosystem processes of maritime tundra on subarctic islands

Mark A. Ricca, A. Keith Miles, Dirk H. Van Vuren, Valerie T. Eviner • Ecosphere (2016)

Abstract Introductions of mammalian herbivores to remote islands without predators provide a natural experiment to ask how temporal and spatial variation in herbivory intensity alter feedbacks between plant and soil processes. We investigat...

Evaluation of root traits and water use efficiency of different cotton genotypes in the presence or absence of a soil-hardpan

Ricardo St Aime, Grace Rhodes, Michael Jones, B. Todd Campbell et al. • Crop Journal (2021)

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an important fiber and oil crop grown worldwide. Water and nutrient stresses are major issues affecting cotton production globally. Root traits are critical in improving water and nutrient uptake and maintaining p...
