A Review on Parameters Affecting the Choice of Alternative (Non-Chemical) Weed Control Methods

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Engineering and Technology Research, 2019
Chemical using as a weed control method is the most preferred method in weed control because they are easily accessible, easily applicable and inexpensive. But, with the new environment-friendly regulations, the importance of non-chemical methods has increased all over the world.

A new concept for the control of Elytrigia repens in organic crop production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The control of perennial weeds in organic crop production needs reconsideration to minimise losses of nutrients through leaching. Long post-harvest periods with mechanical weed control hinder a plant cover with the purpose of taking up nutrients not ...

Precision agriculture for water saving: The case of processing tomato and table grape

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agriculture faces increasing pressure to produce high‐quality food while reducing water use under intensifying climate change and water scarcity. This study compared sensor‐based precision irrigation, drone monitoring, and near‐infrared spectroscopy with conventional farmer management in table grape and processing tomato production systems.

Weed Management in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Current Strategies and Future Perspectives—A Narrative Review

open access: yesAgronomy
Weeds represent a major constraint in the cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs), causing significant reductions in yield, biomass, and essential oil quality while increasing labor and production costs.

Sowing time, false seedbed, row distance and mechanical weed control in organic winter wheat. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
In organic farming, mechanical weed control in winter wheat is often difficult to carry out in the fall, and may damage the crop, and weed harrowing in the spring is not effective against erect, tap-rooted weeds such as Tripleurospermum inodorum, Papaver

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

Laser weeding: opportunities and challenges for couch grass (Elymus repens (L.) Gould) control

open access: yesScientific Reports
Laser weeding may contribute to less dependency on herbicides and soil tillage. Several research and commercial projects are underway to develop robots equipped with lasers to control weeds. Artificial intelligence can be used to locate and identify weed

Effectiveness of weed control methods on pavement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The policy in the Netherlands is to signifiantly reduce the use of herbicides, also on pavements. Existing non-chemical methods to control weeds are much less effective than spot spraying, the usual method at this moment.

When alien plants become health hazards: An applied study on toxic and allergenic risks in Italy

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Alien plants are often studied for their ecological harm, but their risks to human and animal health remain poorly documented. This study provides the first comprehensive catalogue of poisonous and allergenic alien plants in Italy, identifying which species are dangerous, where they grow and who is most at risk—from children in city parks to pets and ...

Direct control of perennial weeds between crops – implications for organic farming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Perennial weeds can be a major constraint to organic crop production in several North European 26 countries. Preventive and cultural control measures may not suffice when infestations with perennials 27 become severe.
