  ARS | Publication request: Weed Seedbank Dynamics in Three Organic Farming Crop Rotations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The seedbanks of smooth pigweed (Amaranthus hybridus L.) and common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.) preceding corn were usually lower following the hay years of the four-year rotation or the wheat/fallow year of the three-year rotation than following the soybean year of the two-year rotation.
However, annual grass seedbanks preceding corn tended to be higher following the hay years of the four-year rotation than following the wheat-fallow year of the three-year rotation or the soybean year of the two-year rotation.
Seedbanks were similar to those of the two-year corn-soybean rotation (higher smooth pigweed and common lambsquarters and lower annual grass) when three- and four-year rotations began with a corn-soybean sequence than with other sequences.

 Wooly Cupgrass and Wild Proso-Millet Management - J. Mickelson, C. Boerboom, R. Harvey
This reduction in the seedbank population is due to seeds that germinate, seeds that decay, and seeds on or in the soil that are eaten by birds, rodents, and insects.
This seed production and the addition of these seeds to the seedbank population must be considered to determine whether a second herbicide application or cultivation is needed to prevent the weed seedbank from increasing.
For fields with high seedbank populations, two herbicide applications may often be necessary to prevent crop yield loss and reduce the woolly cupgrass seedbank population.

 Seed production, seed rain, and the seedbank of fringed sagebrush by YUGUANG BAI AND J.T. ROMO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The roles of seed production and the soil seedbank in population dynamics of fringed sagebrush following disturbance are, however, unknown.
The objectives of this study were to determine: 1) the effect of disturbances in the sward on seed production; 2) relationships between the soil seedbank and current seed production; and 3) seed rain over time for fringed sagebrush.
A persistent seedbank is important in maintaining fringed sagebrush populations when seed production is limited.

 ARS | Publication request: Factors Influencing Annual Fluctuations of the Weed Seedbank at the Long-Term Beltsville ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
There was a high degree of year-to-year variation in both weed seedbank and aboveground weed cover but no trend toward increasing seedbank over time.
Multiple regression analysis showed that much of the annual change in the seedbank of Amaranthus hybridus L., Chenopodium album L., and annual grasses could be described as a function of two variables, weed cover and initial seedbank, with an R-squared of 0.63, 0.61, and 0.81, respectively.
Weed cover served as a proxy for seed input whereas the rate of seed loss was proportional to the initial seedbank.

 New Research Confirms That Weed Control Can Impact Seedbanks
A report commissioned by Defra into the seedbanks of fields previously used for the GM field trials, which formed part of the UK Government’s Farm Scale Evaluation (FSE) programme, confirms that the weed management system used in one year can have an impact on the seedbank in subsequent years.
The report concluded that in cropping situations, such as GM maize, where weed control was least effective more seeds were consequently returned to the seedbank and the weed seedbank increased.
Conversely, in cropping situations where weed control was more effective, as in the case of GM spring oilseed rape and sugarbeet, seedbanks were lower.
