Today the use of cover-crop mixtures has become commonplace. Surveys show most farmers use them and believe them to be superior to any single cover-crop species for weed control.…
Control of invasive brush on southwestern U.S. rangelands is a continual struggle. Industry-standard herbicide treatments typically knock brushy weeds back, but not out.…
Harvest-time weed seed controls have proven highly effective at reducing herbicide-resistant weeds in Australian cropping systems. One of the most popular tactics is the use of an impact mill that intercepts chaff as it exits the harvester.…
Buffelgrass is a drought-tolerant, invasive weed that threatens the biodiversity of native ecosystems in the drylands of the Americas and Australia.…
When it comes to weed control, today’s growers face a double whammy. Weeds have developed resistance to many of our existing herbicide options at a time when new herbicide discoveries have plummeted.…
Kochia has become one of the most problematic weeds in the U.S. – now resistant to at least four herbicide sites of action.…
When it comes to controlling invasive weeds, it can pay to think before you act. Do you want a quick, short-term reduction in a weed population or longer-term control?…
Corn and soybean growers in Nebraska are now facing their worst nightmare. A research study featured in the journal Weed Science shows a population of waterhemp has evolved resistance to four distinct herbicide sites of action – including PPO inhibitors, ALS inhibitors, EPSPS inhibitors and PS II inhibitors.…
Studies show that pH is one of the many factors impacting dicamba volatility. In fact, the EPA now requires a pH of 5.0 or higher in its registration of new dicamba formulations for dicamba-resistant crops.…
Sobering global survey data shows weeds have evolved resistance to 167 herbicides spanning 23 of 26 known sites of action. Now scientists writing in the journal Invasive Plant Science and Management say climate change and elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) may be contributing to the development of herbicide resistance.…
Palmer amaranth and waterhemp are two troublesome amaranthus species weeds that are resistant to multiple herbicides. They also have unique reproductive features.…
Kochia is a highly invasive weed known to be resistant to multiple herbicides. In the Great Plains region, kochia populations have now evolved resistance to dicamba.…
Herbicide resistance is a costly and growing problem. In fact, many weed populations now exhibit resistance to multiple herbicide mechanisms of action.…
As invasive shrubs become more prevalent in U.S. forests, they are creating dense understories that outcompete native plants. Land managers with limited resources find themselves facing a tough decision.…
What if you had a simple, web-based app that could analyze weather data and issue an alert when pesky weeds are most likely to emerge and compete with your cash crop? …
Cultivars of soybean and cotton that are tolerant of dicamba and glyphosate have been a big hit with growers, allowing them to treat broadleaf weeds throughout the growing season – without damaging their crops.…
The broadleaf weed kochia is a real and growing threat to major cropping systems and soil conservation practices across the Great Plains.…
When battling invasive weeds, it’s easy to conclude that treating the largest masses first is the best strategy. But scientists writing in the journal Invasive Plant Science and Management say that isn’t always best.…
Spring-applied herbicides are no match for henbit, a winter annual weed found in more than 50 crops – including corn, cotton and soybean.…
Italian ryegrass has become a weedy nuisance in California – often found in orchards and vineyards where fruits and nuts are grown.…
Fall-applied residual herbicides are often used to control glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass – especially in the Mid-South. But growers who use rice as a rotational crop need to beware.…
Watermelon growers face tough weed control challenges. One example: Crop seedlings need to be planted with plenty of elbow room – leaving wide spaces where broadleaf and grassy weeds can become established and reduce yields.…
Archaeology and cultural heritage work have fully entered the digital age. Today, researchers rely on tools like 3D scanners, a variety of GIS software, and Lidar equipped drones to document the past in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago.…
The English language contains a wealth of insults and terms of abuse. Personal insults attack the core and immutable aspects of a person, such as their race, ethnicity, appearance, age, or a disability.…
Even though findings from genetics and other sciences unequivocally refute biological conceptions of race, this erroneous viewpoint remains widespread among the general public.…

A critical milestone for the archaeological ecosystem has been the publication this April of the National Archaeology Plan (NAP), part of a larger framework for cultural heritage that the Spanish Ministry of Culture has been developing for almost 40 years.…
Some disability-related names have dropped out of usage, because they are now considered to be offensive due to their origins. Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) is one example.…
A few months ago, we responded to a call for papers for a themed issue for Advances in Archaeological Practice entitled “Advances in Archaeological Labor Management.”…
How long will humankind survive? Besides the fact that we have been able to eliminate ourselves with nuclear weapons for decades, even without a third world war, the challenge to take care of the resources of our planet remains; we need to use them in a way that our children and their children can have a place on Earth as well. In this blog post Andreas Losch discusses his recent review article in the International Journal of Astrobiology, The need of an ethics of planetary sustainability
It is an article of faith among ordinary Filipinos that American troops will die with Filipino troops defending Philippine claims to the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea (SCS).…
Q&A with Editor-in-Chief of the Precision Medicine Journal, Dame Anna Dominiczak, for International day of Women and Girls in Science
More and more research is finding inflammation as a potential contributing factor towards to the development of various mental illnesses. A systematic review was conducted to determine the association between parasitic infection and mental illnesses in various African populations. Two parasite groups were evaluated; helminths and protozoans, and four mental illness classifications; depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, schizotypal disorders and unspecified mental illnesses.
