The Preliminary Study of Non-Chemical Weed Control for Precision Agriculture by Heated Vegetable Oil [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
This study aims to improve the technique for non-chemical weed control by applying heated vegetable oil. Two temperatures of palm oil. at 50 °C and 70 °C. were applied in this experiment to transfer heat energy to the weed.

Winter oilseed rape and weed competition in organic farming using non-chemical weed control [PDF]

Zemdirbyste-Agriculture, 2016
One of the reasons why the area sown with oilseed rape in organic farms is not expanding is problems with weed, disease, and pest control as well as low seed yield. There is a lack of investigations on oilseed rape cultivated in an organic system, especially employing innovative weed control methods.

Specific Weed Tolerance of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Varieties  - A Key to Non-chemical Weed Control [PDF]

Agrokémia és Talajtan, 2002
Six wheat varieties representing different genotypes were tested under exposed and protected conditions in a three year herbicide provocation field trial at Nagygombos, Hungary. Three types of herbicide treatments (fluroxipir, bromoxynil and dicamba ai.) were applied in comparison with untreated and mechanical treated controls.
