Allelopathy is one of the alternatives used for integrated weed management (IWM), in order to minimize use synthetic herbicides. defined as effect produced by a chemical released donor plant on development another competitive recipient plant.

In cropping systems, integrated weed management is based on diversification. Rather than relying solely on one or two herbicides, a multiplicity of weed control strategies is employed. Yet, integrated weed management as currently practiced is far from integrated; every weed is still managed the same regardless of location or season. The recent development of precision application technology is ...

This study discusses the methodical problems which occur during the process of generating weed distribution maps in geoinformation systems (GIS). Particular attention will be paid to the question of whether or not the weed sampling data and the weed distribution maps for site-specific weed control are sufficiently representative. Manual or image-processing sampling procedures are applied in ord...

Over the years, several agricultural interventions and technologies have contributed immensely towards intensifying food production globally. The introduction of herbicides provided a revolutionary tool for managing difficult task weed control contributing significantly global security human survival. However, in recent times, successes achieved with chemical taken turn, threatening very existe...

Synthetic herbicides have been investigated as tools to synergize mycoherbicides (fungal bioherbicides) for improved efficacy or management of hard-to-control weed problems. Herbicides may weaken weeds and impair their defence systems, thus making weeds more vulnerable to mycoherbicide infection. Despite many positive results, the practical value of synergy remains elusive. This review will dis...

Field experiments were conducted during the 2 year period from 2008 and 2009 to determine the effects of three seeding dates and seven weed control methods in DSR. The results suggested that seeding in the first week of July reduced weed density and biomass, increased kernel weight, leaf area index, and kernel yield compared to seeding rice in the first week of July. Amongst weed control method...
