Weeds are plants growing in the wrong place. By using several
techniques to control weeds you reduce the chance that weed species
will adapt to the control techniques, which is likely if only one
technique is used. For example, if a herbicide is used over a long
period of time, a weed species can build up a resistance to the
chemical. A long-term integrated weed management plan, that
considers all available management control techniques or tools to
control weeds, can be developed for a particular area. Any
integrated weed management plan or strategy should focus on the
most economical and effective control of the weeds and include
ecological considerations. The long term approach to integrated
weed management should reduce the extent of weeds and reduce the
weed seed stock in the soil. It should consider how to achieve this
goal without degrading the desirable qualities of the land, such as
its native ecology or agricultural crops. Controlling weeds is
particularly important in the first few months after plantation
when the plants are small and there's little shade. In commercial
plantations where plants are grown on bare soil, sowing a ground
cover can reduce the use of herbicides. Weed management is most
successful when it involves an integrated approach using a variety
of methods. There is a need to develop equipment better adapted to
more environmentally-friendly situations. This book deals with the
appearance and management of plants with different traits occurring
as weeds on arable land.
