Field bindweed

Except direct use of allelopathic crops as cover crops, smother crops, and intercrops, applications of allelopathy for weed control include the use of allelopathic residues as an herbicide agent, e.g., pellets flours, water extracts, etc. The most common example of crop residue utilization is application of straw on the soil surface (mulching), e.g., rice straw inhibited germination of field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.), winter wild oat (Avena ludoviciana Durieu), and little-seed canarygrass (Phalaris minor Retz.) (Lee et al. 1991 Tamak et al. 1994 Young et al. 1989). 

In some orchards where repeated applications of triazine herbicides have been used, there are isolated instances of triazine-resistant weeds. These include common groundsel in the United Kingdom (Holliday and Putwain, 1977) and common lambsquarters and pigweeds in Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Bavaria. Some studies indicated an increased prevalence of some tolerant weeds in orchards when triazine herbicides were used in certain crop weed systems of common vetch (Heeney et al., 1981a), field bindweed (Meith and Connell, 1985), and quackgrass (Hertz and Wildung, 1978).

Creeping perennials produce seeds but also produce rhizomes (below-ground stems), or stolons (above-ground stems that produce roots). Examples include johnsongrass, field bindweed, and Bermudagrass. 

A number of difficulties exist with this postulate. Stermitz1 group has shown that fresh aerial parts of field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) contain pseudotropine as the major alkaloid, together with trace amounts of tropine and tropinone, as well as the pyrrolidine alkaloids hygrine and... 

Phomopsis convolvulus, is a host-specific pathogen of the perennial plant Convolvulus arvensis, better known as field bindweed or wild morning glory. Infestations of this plant are encountered in both city green spaces and cultivated lands, and they represent a serious agricultural problem around the world with the exception of the tropics. ...
