From June to August 2015, a nationwide survey was carried out in Korea Republic to investigate viral disease infection in proso millet (Panicum miliaceum). A total of 64 proso millet leaf samples showing yellowing stripe, necrosis and mosaic symptoms were collected and saved for future virus...

Panicum virgatum L., a native of North America, is newly naturalized to Shikoku, western Japan. This grass grows on the newly constructed road sides of Man'nocircle over˜-cho, Nakatadogun, Kagawa Prefecture. This alien plant seems to have been brought by the construction of new forestry roads. To...

The synergistic impacts of non-native grass invasion and frequent human-derived wildfires threaten endangered species, native ecosystems and developed land throughout the tropics. Fire behaviour models assist in fire prevention and management, but current models do not accurately predict fire in...

Mikania micrantha Kunth is an invasive vine in tropical Asia, the Pacific Islands, and northern Australia. It spreads in open fields and over the canopies or crowns of other plants to form a dense year-round blanket that eventually suffocates most plants underneath. To identify grasses that could...

Tall perennial grass species can be utilised as bioenergy feedstocks, but some are considered invasive species. Using biomass from such species as feedstocks for anaerobic digestion (AD) may introduce the risk of disseminating viable seeds onto agricultural lands during digestate application. To...

A new alien species for the flora of Bosnia and Herzegovina was found, namely Panicum dichotomiflorum Michx., fall panicgrass. In early autumn 2015, during fieldwork on the banks of the Krivaja River near Zavidovići (Central Bosnia), the second author came across a dense population of an unknown...

Understanding the mechanisms by which some C4 grasses grow more than others at moderately low temperatures (∼12-20°C) is valuable to select materials to lengthen the growing season. In turn, the determination of leaf lifespan for each material to be used is relevant to optimize the balance between...

Objective: To preserve and enhance the aquatic ecosystems of the Region of Littoral (Cameroon) threatened by invasive macrophytes, an ecological study highlighting the distribution of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in aquatic ecosystems was conducted. Methodology and results: During this...

Invasive species are a management concern on protected areas worldwide. Conservation managers need to predict infestations of invasive plants they aim to treat if they want to plan for long term management. Many studies predict the presence of invasive species, but predictions of cover are more...

When invasive weeds are removed with herbicides, revegetation of native species is often desirable. The extended soil activity of aminocyclopyrachlor is important for long-term weed control but could reduce recovery of native species as well. The effect of aminocyclopyrachlor applied alone or with...
