Thermal Weed Control: History, Mechanisms, and Impacts
2018In the recent years, there has been a revival in the development and improvement of thermal weed control to deliver heat for weed management. Thermal weed control techniques are based on foliar contact mechanisms in which temperatures of approximately 100°C are applied for the duration of few seconds, resulting in intracellular water expansion and cell

Innovation in mechanical weed control in crop rows
Weed Research, 2008SummaryWeed control within crop rows is one of the main problems in organic farming. For centuries, different weed removal tools have been used to reduce weeds in the crop rows. Stimulated by the demand from organic farmers, research in several European countries over the last decade has focused on mechanisation using harrowing, torsion finger weeding ...

Compatibility of Chemical and Mechanical Weed Control Methods
Weed Science, 1968Herbicides were applied postplant to field grown peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) and cotton (Gossypium hirsatum L.) in association with various cultivation devices. Rotary cultivations were compatible with single or multiple chemical treatments applied to soil.

The integration of herbicides with mechanical weeding for weed control in winter wheat
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 2002Two systems for integrated weed control in winter wheat based around the combination of herbicides with cultural control have been investigated and compared with conventional practice in experiments between 1993 and 2001. These systems were (a) an overall spray of a reduced herbicide dose followed by spring tine harrow weeding and (b) the combination ...

Economic Comparison of Mechanical and Chemical Weed Control
Weed Science, 1968The problem in determining the economic feasibility of mechanical, chemical, and combination weed control methods in corn (Zea mays L.) is a complex decision involving many factors. The effects of cost, yield, timeliness, and alternative uses of labor are the factors considered in comparing various methods of weed control in this study.

Mechanical Weed Control in Corn (Zea mays L.)
2001Mechanical weed control in corn was practised as early as the 19th century. Over the past 30 years, however, effective selective herbicides have more or less replaced mechanical cultivation (Lampkin 1990). Although cultivation, or tillage, is still done because of the benefits to the soil, weed control is performed through an early-season application ...

OPTIONS FOR MECHANICAL WEED CONTROL IN STRING BEAN
2004Two field experiments were carried out in 2000 and 2001 on a sandy-loam soil to compare different options (harrowing or hoeing) for mechanical weed control in string bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The first experiment investigated combinations of four tine adjustments and two treatment intensities (one or two passes) of a spring-tine harrow.

Mechanical weed control in maize: evaluation of weed harrowing and hoeing systems
2005Two field experiments were carried out in 2000 and 2001 on a sandy-loam soil to compare harrowing and hoeing for mechanical weed control in maize (Zea mays L.). One experiment investigated four different tine adjustments of a spring-tine harrow.
