Öğe Domestication and development of rice cultivars(Springer International Publishing, 2017) Awan, T.H.; Ahmadizadeh, M.; Jabran, K.; Hashim, S.; Chauhan, B.S.[No abstract available]Öğe Non-chemical weed control(Elsevier, 2018) Jabran, Khawar; Chauhan, B.S.Non-Chemical Weed Control is the first book to present an overview of plant crop protection against non-food plants using non-chemical means. Plants growing wild-particularly unwanted plants found in cultivated ground to the exclusion of the desired crop-have been treated with herbicides and chemical treatments in the past. As concern over environmental, food and consumer safety increases, research has turned to alternatives, including the use of cover crops, thermal treatments and biotechnology to reduce and eliminate unwanted plants. This book provides insight into existing and emerging alternative crop protection methods and includes lessons learned from past methodologies. As crop production resources decline while consumer concerns over safety increase, the effective control of weeds is imperative to insure the maximum possible levels of soil, sunlight and nutrients reach the crop plants. © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Öğe Overview and significance of non-chemical weed control(Elsevier, 2018) Jabran, Khawar; Chauhan, B.S.Weeds are among the most important pests of agricultural crops that not only decrease the crop yields but also severely damage the quality of produce. Herbicides are usually effective in suppressing weeds occasionally supplemented with other weed control methods. During recent times, a number of factors have increased the importance of non-chemical weed control methods. Some of these are environmental concerns arising by overuse of pesticides, rising demands for organic food, and an evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds. This chapter discusses «why non-chemical weed control is needed?» and also provides an overview of currently available non-chemical weed control techniques. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

As one of the three most important grain crops that helps to fulfill food needs all across the globe, rice plays a key role in the current and future food security of the world. Currently, no book covers all aspects of rice production in the rice-growing areas of world. This book fills that gap by highlighting the diverse production and management practices as well as the various rice genotypes in the salient, rice-producing areas in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Australia. Further, this text highlights harvesting, threshing, processing, yields and rice products and future research needs. Supplemented with illustrations and tables, this text is essential for students taking courses in agronomy and production systems as well as for agricultural advisers, county agents, extension specialists, and professionals throughout the industry. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.Öğe Weed control using ground cover systems(Elsevier, 2018) Jabran, Khawar; Chauhan, B.S.Use of ground-cover systems (GCSs) is gaining popularity owing to several of their benefits. Other than benefits such as improved soil protection and water retention, the GCS also help to suppress weeds under various agricultural systems. Most important among the GCS may include polyethylene (plastic) mulch, straw mulch, paper mulch, carpet mulch, woodchip mulch, and use of cloth and mats for weed control. Such GCS have been found to provide satisfactory to effective weed control in a variety of agricultural systems. The GCS inhibit weed germination by stopping the sunlight to reach the soil surface, exert a physical pressure to suppress the germinating/emerging weeds, and cause a slight rise in soil temperature that impacts weeds negatively. Negative impacts of plastic mulches on the environment and the organisms in an agricultural ecosystem have been noted. In addition to disposal and degradation issues, remains of plastic sheet in the field may cause hindrances in field operations. Such issues may be resolved with site-specific agronomic management. For instance, biodegradable mulches have been suggested to replace the plastic ones owing to environmental damage caused by polyethylene. Use of paper mulches from renewable stuff is the other option to replace plastic mulches. GCS are particularly important for weed control in vegetables (grown in either closed or open environments) and horticultural fruit crops (such as watermelon and muskmelon). GCS may play an important role as a non-chemical weed control in the wake of demand for pesticide-free foods. © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
