This specially curated collection features five reviews of current
and key research on improving crop weed management. The first
chapter highlights the need for alternative weed control strategies
that will preserve herbicide efficacy, as well as agricultural and
environmental sustainability. The chapter discusses the role of
integrated weed management (IWM) in achieving this through the
implementation of practices that can improve plant health, such as
crop rotations and no-till farming. The second chapter considers
the use of IWM in barley cultivation. After an initial outline of
more traditional control methods, primarily the use of herbicides,
the chapter provides an example of the successful implementation of
IWM in barley in the form of two case studies. The third chapter
reviews the impact of weeds on maize grown under temperate
conditions in the United States and Europe. It provides a summary
of current weed management systems and discusses the issue of
herbicide resistance in weed varieties. The fourth chapter reviews
the use of IWM in rice cultivation for improved crop productivity
and performance and offers detailed discussions on the variety of
techniques that can be incorporated into an IWM strategy to achieve
this. The final chapter presents a number of weed management
options and considerations for sorghum, and discusses the critical
period for weed control to occur.
