A novel method of broad-acre weed seedbank management using a naturally occuring germination stimulant

发现一种促进种子萌发的新型丁烯二酰亚胺，有可能为澳大利亚的农业部门提供显着的经济效益，提供了一种工具，通过广泛的刺激杂草种子库实现最小杂草农业系统。我们的目标是使丁烯酰草胺促进杂草种子休眠的均匀释放，提高发芽率，以及早期幼苗生长的更大同步性，从而在除草剂施用后更有效地击倒。

The discovery of a novel butenolide that promotes seed germination has potential to provide significant economic benefits for Australia's agricultural sector, providing a vehicle to move towards minimum-weed agricultural systems achieved through broad-acre stimulation of the weed seedbank. Our aim is for butenolide to promote uniform release of weed seed dormancy, increased germination, and greater synchrony in early stage seedling growth and thus more effective knock-down following herbicide applications.
