| dc.description.abstract | A study was conducted at a 64-ha site in western Canada to determine how preventing seed shed from herbicide-resistant wild oat affects patch expansion over a 6-yr period. Seed shed was prevented in two patches and allowed to occur in two patches (untreated controls). Annual patch expansion was determined by seed bank sampling and mapping. All crop management practices were performed by the grower. Area of treated patches increased by 35% over the 6-yr period, whereas untreated patches increased by 330%. Patch expansion was attributed mainly to natural seed dispersal (untreated) or seed movement by equipment at time of seeding (untreated and treated). Extensive seed shed from plants in untreated patches before harvest or control of resistant plants by alternative herbicides minimized seed movement by the combine harvester. Although both treated and untreated patches were relatively stable over time in this cropping system, preventing seed production and shed in herbicide-resistant wild oat patches can markedly slow the rate of patch expansion. | en_US |
