Sustainable Weed Control in the Agro-Ecosystems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Worldwide weeds are the cause of highest potential crop losses (representing on average ?34%), even if they frequently underestimated since more attention is generally paid to dangerous insects 18% yield loss) or pathogens 16% [...]

Sustainable Intensification of Tropical Agro-Ecosystems: Need and Potentials
Rapid population growth, increasingly complex economies and novel industrial uses of agricultural products call for further intensification of agriculture, particularly in the tropics. How to achieve sustainable intensification of food production systems in tropical regions that are challenged by ongoing climate change, loss of natural resources and biodiversity is a matter of debate. Here we h...

متن کاملA modelling methodology to assess the effect of insect pest control on agro-ecosystems
The extensive use of chemical pesticides for pest management in agricultural systems can entail risks to the complex ecosystems consisting of economic, ecological and social subsystems. To analyze the negative and positive effects of external or internal disturbances on complex ecosystems, we proposed an ecological two-sidedness approach which has been applied to the design of pest-controlling ...
متن کاملPredicting the global warming potential of agro-ecosystems
Nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and methane are the main biogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) contributing to the global warming potential (GWP) of agro-ecosystems. Evaluating the impact of agriculture on climate thus requires a capacity to predict the net exchanges of these gases in an integrated manner, as related to environmental conditions 5 and crop management. Here, we used two year-round data s...
متن کاملModelling resilience of agro-ecosystems - the co-evolution of regimes
Understanding how natural resources co-evolve with management practices is fundamental to all questions concerning their sustainable management. In the search for new pathways of sustainable development we seek to understand how comparable initial conditions in agro-ecosystems lead to fundamentally different resource conditions. Agro-ecosystems are characterized by a high diversity, path depend...
