Ce que dit la science
- Rumex hypogaeus colonised the crop along with other weed species in the study, but its invasiveness was not specifically highlighted compared to others.
- The fruit methanol extract of Emex australis showed high phenolic content and significant antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities.
- Le Trois-angles méridional produit à la fois des graines aériennes et des graines sous terre, avec les graines sous terre se formant plus tôt dans le développement mais en moindre quantité par rapport aux graines aériennes.
- Rumex hypogaeus a émergé après l’ensempechement et avait des taux de survie plus faibles pour la production de graines par rapport à Bromus diandrus et Lolium rigidum.
