Wild Oat Control Prospects in Cereal Crops
Agronomist J J Lexemith of Canada Department of Agriculture notes no current chemical treatment for wild oat control. He recommends integrated practices including fall grain stubble work, timely fall tillage, delayed seeding, double-rate ammonium phosphate, summer fallowing, shallow tillage to keep seeds near surface, green seed oats, fall rye or winter wheat in suitable regions, and using grass or legume pastures for suppression. A combination of methods tailored to local conditions is advised for relief and better yields.

He has traveled by air to Switzerland and back, proving blindness can be a challenge rather than a barrier.

Eye study redefines aging of sight at fifty two
University of California optometrists report presbyopia begins as early as age 52 rather than 60. In a study of 106 adults aged 42 to 60, the amplitude of accommodation declines to zero around 52, meaning lenses stop changing shape and focusing deteriorates sooner than commonly believed.
