Weeds are a hidden foe for crop plants, interfering with their functions and suppressing their
growth and development. Yield losses of∼ 34% are caused by weeds among the major …

Many cereals accumulate hydroxamic acids derived from 2-hydroxy-2 H-1, 4-benzoxazin-3
(4 H)-one. These benzoxazinoid hydroxamic acids are involved in defense of maize against …

Cover crops (CCs) can provide multiple soil, agricultural production, and environmental
benefits. However, a better understanding of such potential ecosystem services is needed …

Increasing plant diversity in agroecosystems with cover crops has been a successful
strategy to augment ecosystem services from agriculture, and increasing diversity of cover …

Cropping systems that provide ecosystem services beyond crop production are gaining
interest from farmers, policy makers and society at large, yet we lack frameworks to evaluate …

Winter cover crops (WCCs) provide agronomic and environmental benefits, although their
impacts on subsequent crop yields have been reported to vary across regions, soils, or …

Cover crop–based organic rotational no-till soybean production has attracted attention from
farmers, researchers, and other agricultural professionals because of the ability of this new …

Integrated weed management tactics are necessary to develop cropping systems that
enhance soil quality using conservation tillage and reduced herbicide or organic weed …

The allelopathic potency of rye (Secale cereale L.) is due mainly to the presence of
phytotoxic benzoxazinones—compounds whose biosynthesis is developmentally regulated …

Known since ancient times, the phenomenon of allelopathy has recently received greater
attention from researchers and farmers worldwide. Crop failures and low yields caused by …
