Ease of non-chemical weed control iv Additional Information Acknowledgements viii 0.A 2 Introduction A pocket guide to aid the identification of the most widespread and economically important weeds encountered in the horticultural sector, this publication covers mostly broad-leaved weeds but also some grasses, moss and liverwort. How best to use this pocket guide This guide is primarily an aid to weed seedling identification to help growers choose the right cultural or herbicidal control method. To correctly identify a weed seedling, first read the section, ‘Key features of weeds’, as this will provide a structured plan of how to approach the identification process. Familiarisation with the various parts of the seedling and checking the key features is essential for correct identification. The weeds are grouped (1–26), by common features of the seedlings, so that this facilitates quicker identification. Each weed has been photographed at three stages of its development: cotyledon, first/second true leaf and mature plant, to allow it to be identified at all stages of growth.

They are two of the most important pests of potato in England and Wales, feeding on potato roots, causing losses of yield and costs that vary and are difficult to estimate. Published papers usually quote losses of about 9% of annual yield, estimated at about £43 million for the UK, based on the mean value of the crop from 1990-1995. Adaptations to a plant-parasitic life In both species the female forms a hard covering around her eggs when she dies, creating a ‘cyst’ which protects the eggs and developing juveniles from desiccation, predation and chemical control. Only a proportion of the eggs hatch from the cyst each year, and in G. pallida this occurs at a slower rate and with a later annual peak of hatching than G.

Development of fungicide resistant and more aggressive P. infestans clonal lineages has emphasized the importance of discovering and incorporating new genetic resistance in tomato cultivars. Although the cultivated tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L., contains limited genetic diversity, several related wild species of tomato are suitable for identification of new desirable traits. Previously, 67 S. pimpinellifolium accessions were screened for LB resistance in field, greenhouse and detached leaflet trials and 12 accessions with strong resistance to LB were identified. In this dissertation, two resistant accessions, PI 163245 and PI 224710, were selected for further genetic characterization.
