“…In field vegetable crops, promising results have been reported by the combination of flaming and mechanical weed control techniques [26]. Mechanical weed control may be fulfilled by numerous devices that generally aim to remove aboveground weed biomass [27]. Mowing is a common mechanical technique for weed control that allows the maintenance of a short weed canopy height and balances water and nutrients between weeds and crops [28].…”

Organic vegetable production is particularly affected by weed pressure and mechanical weeding is the major tactic implemented by growers to keep weeds under economic thresholds. Living mulch (LM) has been shown to provide several environmental services; however, LM management is required to avoid competition between service crops and cash crops. The aim of this trial was to evaluate two innovative LM-based management systems: a system that provided LM growth regulation by means of flaming (LM-FL) and a system where the LM was regularly mowed by an autonomous mower (LM-AM), both compared with a control without LM and based on standard tillage operations (TILL). The three management systems were evaluated in terms of crop production, weed control, and energy consumption on a 2 yr organic crop rotation of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var botrytis) and eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). LM-AM produced an acceptable fresh marketable yield for both vegetable crops. Moreover, the weed dry biomass obtained in LM-AM-managed plots was lower compared to the LM-FL plots and ranged approximately from 200 to 300 kg ha−1. Furthermore, LM-AM management resulted in lower energy consumption (−2330 kWh ha−1 with respect to the TILL system and −7225 kWh ha−1 with respect to the LM-FL system). The results of this trial suggest that autonomous mowers have a great potential to improve LM management and help with implementing sustainable organic vegetable systems.

“…Weed species that were seen in sugar beet fields in other countries (England, France, Germany, Greece, Southern Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Russia; Egypt, Lithuania, South European, Central Bohemia, Spain, Iran, Bangladesh and USA) were A. retroflexus, C. album, S. arvensis, S. media, E. crus-galli, P. annua and S. viridis showed partial similarity, but species not seen in Turkey were also reported. It was observed that the numerical differences in terms of weed density and frequency of incidence are also high (Schweizer, 1979;Blaszyk et al, 1980;Schweizer and May, 1993;Bosak and Mod, 2000;Salimi et al, 2004;Mitchell, 2005;Salehi et al, 2006;Petersen, 2008;Jursik et al, 2008;Mirshekari et al, 2010;Stevanato et al, 2011;Kunz et al, 2015;Kunz et al, 2016;Zargar et al, 2010;Bayat et al, 2019;Bhadra et al, 2020 andJursík et al, 2020). There are 60 weed species reported as major infesting species among 250 weed species in sugar beet crop in the world, of which approximately 70 % are broad leaved and 30 % are grass weeds (Schweizer and May, 1993;May and Wilson, 2006).…”

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Kahramanmaraş ve Adana illerinde çeşitli ilçelerde bulunan şeker pancarı tarlalarında yabancı ot türü, yoğunluğu, sıklığı ve genel kapsama alanını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Ayrıca 2000-2001 yıllarından 20 yıl sonra şeker fabrikası üretim alanları ile yabancı ot türleri ve yoğunluğunda meydana gelen değişimlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem ve Bulgular: Çalışma alanlarında görülen yabancı ot yoğunluğunu hesaplamak için 1 hektara 40 çerçeve kullanılmıştır. Yabancı otların türü, yoğunluğu, görülme sıklığı ve genel kapsama alanları hesaplanmıştır. Şeker pancarı tarlalarında çok yoğun olarak tespit edilen yabancı ot türleri sırasıyla, Sinapis arvensis L., Chenopodium album L., Echinochloa colonum (L.) Link., Cuscuta campestris Yunck., Amaranthus retroflexus L., Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers., Elymus repens (L.) Gould., Convolvulus arvensis L., Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. ve Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. olarak belirlenmiştir. Önemli yabancı ot türlerinin sıklığı ve genel kaplama alanı % 64.9-50.1 ve % 62.8-50.0 arasındadır.Genel yorum: Kahramanmaraş ve Adana illerinde yer alan ilçelerdeki şekerpancarı tarlalarında 26 familyaya bağlı toplam 88 yabancı ot türü tespit edilmiştir. Bu yabancı ot türlerinden 1 tür tam parazit ve Pteridophyta, 18 Monokotiledon ve 68 tür Dikotiledon sınıfına aittir. Kahramanmaraş şeker pancarı tarlalarında 20 yıl önce yapılan araştırma sonuçlarına göre hem bugün belirlenen tür sayısında hem de çok yoğun görülen tür sayısında önemli artışlar olduğu gözlenmiştir.Çalışmanın Önemi ve Etkisi: Kahramanmaraş ve Adana illerinde bulunana şeker pancarı tarlalarında tespit edilen yabancı ot türleri ve yoğunluklarının ilçeden ilçeye değişiklik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Holo parazit C. campestris ile rizom ve stolon gövdeli bazı yabancı ot türleri yoğunluk bakımından şeker pancarı için önemli bir tehdittir.

Suitability of Amaranthaceae and Polygonaceae species as food source for the sugar beet weevil Asproparthenis punctiventris Germar

This study explores the food plant spectrum of the sugar beet weevil (Asproparthenis punctiventris Germar; Coleoptera: Curculionidae), one of the most important pests of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris Altissima group). It examines the potential of various weeds and other plants to maintain populations of A. punctiventris adults and larvae outside sugar beet fields. To this end, leaf consumption of females and males on twelve Amaranthaceae and six Polygonaceae species was compared over a 24-h period in a laboratory environment. Both sexes consumed the greatest amount of leaf mass from Beta spp. and on average about a third less from Atriplex spp., indicating that these plants have the highest nutritional value for A. punctiventris. Weevils consumed between 30 and 60% of the amount of A. retroflexus and Chenopodium spp. than they fed on sugar beet leaves. Like Spinacia oleracea (Amaranthaceae), plant species of the Polygonaceae family were hardly or not at all fed on. Mated females generally consumed more leaf mass than unmated, especially from Chenopodium spp. and A. retroflexus, i.e. plants with low feeding value. Experiments with potted plants revealed that the most and heaviest 4th instar larvae developed on sugar beet, while fewer individuals with lesser weight were found on B. vulgaris subsp. maritima and A. hortensis. Very few larvae were able to develop on C. album, and none on A. retroflexus. To prevent promotion of pest population, special attention should be paid to the control of weeds from the Amaranthaceae family in sugar beet growing areas.
