Broccoli (Brassica oleraceavar.botrytis) Yield Loss from Italian Ryegrass (Lolium perenne) Interference

Abstract: Italian ryegrass interference in broccoli was measured in field experiments and the data fit a rectangular hyperbolic competition model. The model predicted 58% of broccoli yield loss related to Italian ryegrass density when pooled over three y. An economic threshold value of 4.9 Italian ryegrass plants m−1of crop row was determined to be the density required to cause a 3.6% yield loss, equal to postemergence weed control costs. Italian ryegrass densities of 600 to 1000 plants m1of broccoli row caused 100% yie… Show more

“…Italian ryegrass densities of 600 to 1,000 plants m À2 contributed to 100% yield loss in broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) (Bell 1995). Italian ryegrass is highly competitive with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Appleby and Brewster 1992), and competition reduced wheat yield up to 92% (Hashem et al 1998).…”

“…Traditionally, studies of crop yield response to weed density involved, at least implicitly, a presumption of the existence of a damage threshold referred to by Cousens (1985) as a "biological threshold weed density" (Radosevich and Holt, 1984); however, more recent perspectives challenge this notion with regard to weeds (Radosevich and Rousch, 1990;Radosevich et al, 1997). In many empirical studies conducted during recent years of the degree of crop yield loss due to competition, weed pests are regarded as competing for resources with agricultural crops, and crop yield response to weed density is frequently described by a rectangular hyperbolic model (Bell, 1995;Cardina et al, 1995;Cousens, 1985;Kwon et al, 1995;Limon-Ortega et al, 1998;Swinton et al, 1994;Wilson, 1993). As noted in Cousens (1985), use of the rectangular hyperbolic model precludes the existence of pest-tolerant response for weed pests.…”

“…The observations from these field trials can also be utilized to investigate the existence of weed tolerance by field corn grown in Massachusetts using the statistical model (Equation 3) and estimation procedures outlined earlier. A pre-mix combination of alachlor plus atrazine was applied preemergence at various rates to fields otherwise characterized by conventional practices.…”

“…Italian ryegrass densities of 600 to 1000 plants per meter row caused 100% yield loss in broccoli ( Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) . Corn ( Zea mays L.) density and yield were severely reduced due to competition from Italian ryegrass …”

“…[12][13][14][15] Italian ryegrass has developed into an economically important weed affecting small grain and vegetable crops. [16][17][18] For example, winter wheat yield was decreased by 4700 kg·ha −1 when Italian ryegrass density increased from 0.7 to 3 plants·m −2 . 16 Competition from Italian ryegrass reduced winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield up to 92%.…”
