TL;DR: In this paper, a landscape management framework that incorporates all systems, across the spectrum of degrees of alteration, provides a fuller set of options for how and when to intervene, uses limited resources more effectively, and increases the chances of achieving management goals.

TL;DR: Populations of common lambsquarters and similar species may produce more seeds and persist in moldboard plow and chisel plow systems; these weeds may produce fewer seeds per unit area and be easier to manage in no-Till and ridge-till systems.

TL;DR: Population ecology species interactions community ecology applied weed ecology.

TL;DR: This study tested whether factors affected corn growth, development and grain yield at final harvest, and weed biomass when weeds were late-emerging, and recommended using narrower row widths to reduce weed competition and increase corn yield.

TL;DR: In practical terms, reduced tillage in combination with a good crop rotation may reduce weed density and expenditures on weed management.
