Résumé : | Concerns over environ mental and human health impactsof conventional weed management practices, herbicide resistance in weeds, and rising costs of crop production and protection have led agricultural producers and scientists in many countries to seek strategies that take greater advantage of ecological processes. This book provides principles and practices for ecological ly based weed management ina wide range of temperate and tropical farming systems. After examining weed life histories and processes determining the assembly of weed communities, the authors describe howtillage and cultivation practices, manipulations of soil conditions, competitive cultivars, crop diversification, grazing livestock, arthropod and microbial biocontrol agents, and other factors can be used to reduce weed germination, growth, competitive ability, reproduction, and dispersal. Special attention is given to the evolutionary challenges that weeds pose and the roles that farmers can play in the development of new weed management strategies. |
