Wild Mustard (Sinapis arvensis) Competition and Control in Rain-Fed Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

Wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.) is a weed that frequently infests spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) fields in Moscow province, Russia. It is an annual broad leaf weed, which is indigenous throughout most parts of the globe and one of the most competitive weeds of spring cereal crops. In southern Russia it is emerging as an important crop competitor. Field trials focusing on herbicide timing and efficacy on wild mustard control and spring wheat yield in the Moscow region, Kashira and Baribino districts. A PRE glyphosate application to wheat regardless of fall or spring application timing favorably suppressed wild mustard in 2018. Weeds were not controlled in 2019 with the earliest application timings of glyphosate because weeds emerged late. In comparing fall and spring application timings, the formulated combination of (iodosulfuron/mesosulfuron/antidote mefenpyr-diethyl) at both field rates provided 80% weed control for all application timings and locations, and also resulting in the greatest spring wheat grain yield. Overall, herbicide treatments performed greater when they were in the fall than during the spring. Based on POST herbicide application, tribenuron-methyl provided the greatest wild mustard suppression (75%) and also caused the highest reduction in wild mustard biomass (3.3 g), stem number (6), seed number (880) and germination percentage (33%). When wild mustard was approximately 32 weeds/m2 causedtotal wheat yield loss.

Chemical composition, antioxidant, herbicidal and antifungal activities of leaf essential oils from three Tunisian Eucalyptus species

“…Sinapis arvensis used in this work is important weed in Tunisian crops, with a wide distribution, many of which have developed herbicide resistant biotypes (Zargar et al 2021). Lepidium sativum L., (garden cress) and Sinapis arvensis L., (field mustard) seeds were collected in a plot that was planted with field corn seed in Sidi Ismail, Beja, Tunisia, July 2020 (36° 35′ 58.6″ N 9° 06′ 24.1″ E).…”

New Advances in Nano-Enabled Weed Management Using Poly(Epsilon-Caprolactone)-Based Nanoherbicides: A Review

“…The development of a target-specific herbicide chemical enclosed in a nanoparticle is directed toward a specific receptor in the roots of the target weeds, where it enters the root system and translocates to areas that block the hydrolysis of food reserves. This can cause certain weed plants to starve and eventually result in their death [3,12]. As an example, Bombo et al [13] developed a nanoencapsulated atrazine formulation that specifically targeted the chloroplast of Brassica juncea and, via the degradation of chloroplasts, showed herbicidal activity [13].…”
