This collection features five peer-reviewed literature reviews on
integrated weed management in cereal cultivation. The first chapter
examines the problem of weeds in barley and explains the
application of integrated weed management (IWM) to barley
cultivation. The chapter also outlines weed control tactics and the
practical implementation of IWM in barley. The second chapter
reviews the availability of cultural strategies which can be used
in wheat cultivation as part of an IWM strategy. The chapter
considers the implementation of practices that can improve crop
health, including diverse crop rotations. The third chapter
considers the impact of weeds on maize cultivation and
productivity, as well as the emergence of IWM as a sustainable
method of controlling weeds. The chapter assesses the efficacy of
key IWM techniques, such as crop rotations. The fourth chapter
provides a detailed assessment of the biological constraints
currently impacting the productivity of rice cultivation, focusing
on the issue of weeds. The chapter includes an overview of the IWM
approach and its benefits. The final chapter focuses on competitive
cereal crops and cultural strategies for weed management, including
the use of weed-suppressive cultivars, post-harvest crop residues,
and cover crops for management of the weed seedbank and eventual
weed suppression.
This specially curated collection features five reviews of current
and key research on improving crop weed management. The first
chapter highlights the need for alternative weed control strategies
that will preserve herbicide efficacy, as well as agricultural and
environmental sustainability. The chapter discusses the role of
integrated weed management (IWM) in achieving this through the
implementation of practices that can improve plant health, such as
crop rotations and no-till farming. The second chapter considers
the use of IWM in barley cultivation. After an initial outline of
more traditional control methods, primarily the use of herbicides,
the chapter provides an example of the successful implementation of
IWM in barley in the form of two case studies. The third chapter
reviews the impact of weeds on maize grown under temperate
conditions in the United States and Europe. It provides a summary
of current weed management systems and discusses the issue of
herbicide resistance in weed varieties. The fourth chapter reviews
the use of IWM in rice cultivation for improved crop productivity
and performance and offers detailed discussions on the variety of
techniques that can be incorporated into an IWM strategy to achieve
this. The final chapter presents a number of weed management
options and considerations for sorghum, and discusses the critical
period for weed control to occur.
During the Irish Civil War, events of late 1922 and early 1923
together with waves of 'dishonourable' killings created poisoned
relations between Republicans and 'Free Staters' which would last
for several generations. The most enduring of these controversies,
a policy of summary executions carried out by the Provisional
Government from November 1922, continues to surround the argument.
This book offers a fresh perspective on the causes, development and
consequences of the Irish Civil War. Triggered by the signing of
the Anglo-Treaty, there were those that would accept nothing less
than complete Irish independence. Very few IRA commanders active in
the field supported the Treaty and, as happens often in the
dissection of civil wars, controversy over the conduct of both
sides figures heavily within the text, where, at a local and
national level, it left bitter legacies. This book offers an
overview of the war in all regions of Ireland.
Two plays about contemporary life in Ireland, from award-winning
writer John O'Donovan. On the outskirts of Ennis, on a dark and
stormy night, three men gather for the anniversary of a childhood
friend, killed in a road accident when they were seventeen.
Expecting a crowd and tearing into the cans, the three slowly
realise they're the only ones coming. As they drink to their
uncertain futures - and their receding youth - they're forced to
face up to the ghost that has held them together. Flights is a
haunting and funny play about bereavement, brotherhood and breaking
away from your past. It premiered in 2020 at glor in Ennis before
transferring to Dublin and London, directed by Thomas Martin. Sink
is a play of two voices for one actor, about memory, catastrophe
and sacrifice. Brid's coming home to convalesce after drying out in
rehab. Ciara's headed west too, investigating a potential
archaeological site on a parched area of bogland. But as the
countryside swelters in a heatwave, the pair find peace elusive.
How will Brid cope in her old haunts? How will Ciara confront a
past she thought forgotten? And will they unearth the hidden truth
that binds them together? Sink premiered at the Dublin Fringe
Festival in 2019, directed by Thomas Martin.
