Evolutionary‐thinking in agricultural weed management [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2009
SummaryAgricultural weeds evolve in response to crop cultivation. Nevertheless, the central importance of evolutionary ecology for understanding weed invasion, persistence and management in agroecosystems is not widely acknowledged. This paper calls for more evolutionarily‐enlightened weed management, in which management principles are informed by ...
