Moreover, while California weedy rice shares some similarity to weedy rice from the southern US at several loci as expected with a similar genetic background, divergence at few specific loci highlights changes required for California weedy rice to thrive in this novel agricultural system. If weedy rice in California is newly derived from a temperate japonica crop ancestor in…

Individual digitized CIR images provided clues about weed patch distribution that could be used by land managers in preliminary assessments to identify suspect areas to investigate on the ground. In March CIR images, for example, vegetation patches associated with forage dominated ground truth points generally appeared greener than those associated with weed-dominated points . In May CIR imagery, the…

Raffaelli et al., used a steaming machine that uses a negative pressure steam technique that involves applying steam to the top 10 cm of the soil underneath a tarp into the soil. A fan is also used creating suction through polypropene tubes buried in the soil . The negative pressure technique does a better job in…

Glyphosate was used as a broad-spectrum, non-selective herbicide for nearly 40 years, with few concerns about resistance until the mid- 1990s. A number of factors have combined to increase the selection pressure for glyphosate-resistant weeds in several cropping systems. These include an increase in reduced- or no-tillage systems that depend on preplant weed control with…

Rice yields in weed-firee plots were the same across all three irrigation systems in both 2013 and 2014 . Since there was no year by irrigation system interaction, data were pooled and analyzed over years. There was a significant decrease in yield in 2014, but this was found across all three irrigation systems, and may…

Rapid adaptation post-introduction could be necessary for successful establishment and persistence or might catalyze increased spread or impacts on native ecosystems . Indeed, many of the traits posited to characterize invasive species, by Baker and others more recently, show evolutionary change post-invasion . Several examples of rapid adaptation come from studies of invasive species . In…

These standards have less meaning with the production of a new crop type, and thus create uncertainty and potential for conflict between tenants, landlords, and end-users seeking control over the production process. Landowners may want to ensure the crops or the producers’ cultural practices will not cause long term harm to the land, creating another moral…

Landowners may be unwilling to rent land to a farmer seeking to grow novel crops with the attendant long-term contract that typifies many biomass supply arrangements. Financial flexibility and access to credit may face similar limitations if lenders perceive that producers are unable to adequately manage the relatively higher risk inherent in the nascent bio-energy industry. A…

As it leaves the European Union, the UK must ensure that its agricultural standards remain high and robust, its farm supports reflect the popular desire for greater equity and incentives for deep environmental stewardship, and its regulatory process is not overly controlled by private interests. In turn, the United States will need to find ways…

Those producers then quite often take on additional standalone certifications at the behest of their retailer partners. In cases such as these where a farmer in my sample was certified to multiple standards, I have simplified the information I present by analyzing them based on the standalone standard they follow, on the assumption that that…
