The growing recognition of the environmental and health issues associated to pesticide use
requires to investigate how to manage weeds with less or no herbicides in arable farming …

Methods of non-chemical weed control that could be used in organic systems were reviewed
previously as part of a desk study funded by MAFF (Bond & Grundy, 1998). Other reviews of …

This book is a unique review of weed science. The sample material reflects the exciting
developments in weed research coming out of Scandinavian and other parts of the world …

Intercrops have been associated with greater yields and pest and weed control compared
with sole crops. In this field experiment, we investigated agronomic performance and weed …

The effects of differing periods of weed management were studied in experiments in five
farmers' direct-seeded, irrigated rice (Oryza sativa L.) fields during the 1999 wet season …

Weed competitiveness can be quantified with the concept of competitive index (CI), a
relative scale of weed competitiveness. Field studies were conducted in 2002 and 2003 in …

Arable weeds are generally distributed in patches, while herbicides are applied uniformly.
Herbicides can be saved if only the patches are sprayed, ie patch spraying (PS). Bottlenecks …

Using competitive crops and cultivars can be an important integrated weed management
(IWM) tool, useful in both conventional and low-external-input (LEI) farming systems. Barley …

In recent literature on Gramineae species, leaf and tiller number dynamics have been
studied by analysing site filling and the phyllochron of the mainstem. However, site filling is …

One of the main goals of Precision Agriculture is site-specific crop management to reduce
the production of herbicide residues. This paper presents a computer-based image analysis …
