Rapeseed (Brassica napus) Green Manure Crop Suppresses Weeds in Potato (Solanum tuberosum)
Rick A. Boydston,Ann Hang +1 more
TL;DR: Fall-planted rapeseed and sudangrass were evaluated for weed control in potato during a two-year study and rapeseed incorporated in the spring in a loamy sand soil reduced weed density and biomass in following potato crops compared to potato after fallow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weed suppression with Brassica green manure crops in green pea.
TL;DR: Weed suppression in peas varied between different green manure crops, except for rapeseed, which reduced pea population, and greenhouse experiments, where white mustard added to the soil at 20 g per 400 g air dry soil reduced emergence of shepherd's-purse, kochia, and green foxtail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volatile Allelochemicals Released by Crucifer Green Manures
TL;DR: Selecting mustard green manures that release high levels of allyl-ITC would appear to be optimal for allelopathic activity, and plants that produce high level of benzyl- ITC also appear promising.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bernd Markus Lange,Soheil S. Mahmoud,Mark R. Wildung,Glenn W. Turner,Edward M. Davis,Iris Lange,Raymond C. Baker,Rick A. Boydston,Rodney Croteau +8 more
TL;DR: The utility of metabolic engineering for the sustainable agricultural production of high quality essential oils at a competitive cost is illustrated.

Assessment of climate change impact on Eastern Washington agriculture
Claudio O. Stöckle,R. Nelson,Stewart S. Higgins,Jay F. Brunner,Gary G. Grove,Rick A. Boydston,Mathew Whiting,Chad E. Kruger +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an assessment of the potential impact of climate change and the concurrent increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration on eastern Washington State agriculture was conducted, which included the crops with larger economic value for the state (apples, potatoes, and wheat).
