Organic Cereal Research - Insect and Weed Management

Insect Management

• Cultivar resistance to grasshoppers in temperate cereal crops
• Growth and survival of early-instar grasshoppers on grasses
• Growth and survival to the second instar of neonate grasshopper nymphs, fed cultivars ancestral to hard red spring wheat
• What is the role of grassland vegetation in grasshopper dynamics?

Weed Management

• NEW!! Improving weed management in organic spring barley: physical weed control vs. interspecific competition
• NEW!! Management Filters and Species Traits: Weed Community Assembly in Long-Term Organic and Conventional Systems
• Annual losses of weed seeds due to predation in organic cereal fields
• Advances in Weed Management for Organic Cereal Production
• The benefits of using quantile regression for analysing the effect of weeds on organic winter wheat
• Cost-effective weed control in cereals using inter-row hoeing
• Enhancing the Competitive Ability of Organic Oat (Avena sativa L.) Cropping Systems
• Integrating cropping systems with cultural techniques augments wild oat (Avena fatua) management in barley (Hordeum vulgare)
• Manipulating Crop Row Orientation to Suppress Weeds and Increase Crop Yield
• Mechanical Weeding of Cereals
• Potential of a Tool for Weed Control in Winter Wheat
• Spring wheat yield response to variable seeding rates in organic farming systems at different fertility regimes
• The Weed-Competitive Ability of Canada Western Red Spring Wheat Cultivars Grown under Organic Management
• Weed-Competitive Ability of Spring and Winter Cereals in the Northern Great Plains
• Weed Control Comparisons in Spring Wheat and Barley
