A Review of Weed Control Practices in Landscape Planting Beds: Part II—Chemical Weed Control Methods

Alternative Weed Control Methods: A Review

Effect of living mulches and conventional methods of weed control on weed occurrence and nutrient uptake in potato

The aim of the study was to determine the biomass, abundance and species composition ofweeds, as well as macroelement uptake in potato weeded using mechanical, mechanical–chemical and mechanical control combined with the sowing of living mulches of white mustard,common vetch, Persian clover and tansy phacelia. Abundance and biomass of the weeds was themost effectively limited by the mechanical ...

Design and Fabrication of a Microwave Weed Killer Device for Weed Control Applications

In this paper, the design and the results of a microwave radiation system for agriculture applications is discussed. The system is fabricated and successfully tested on weed seeds. The device, which uses a commercial 1 kW magentron, proved to be effective for preventing the germination control of popular weeds of Iran. Seven weed species were tested separately by using this system and then the ...

Risk Analysis of Various Weed Control Methods

Nearly all weed control methods influence both the abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. These include the following: mechanical control techniques; cultural practices such as grazing, burning, flooding or revegetation, the introduction of biological weed control agents; and the use of chemicals. This paper reviews many of the risks of weed control and, in some cases, suggests prevent...

utonomous robotic weed control systems : A review

Autonomous robotic weed control systems hold promise toward the automation of one of agriculture’s few remaining unmechanized and drudging tasks, hand weed control. Robotic technology may also provide a means of reducing agriculture’s current dependency on herbicides, improving its sustainability and reducing its environmental impact. This review describes the current status of the four core te...
