Herbicide resistant weeds: A call to integrate conventional agricultural practices, molecular biology knowledge and new technologies.

TL;DR: It is claimed that global climate change is an unnoticed factor that may be acting on the selection of HR weeds, especially those evolving into non-target-site resistance mechanisms, in the first review that integrates agronomic and molecular knowledge of herbicide resistance.

Integrated Weed Management in Herbaceous Field Crops

Aurelio Scavo, +1 more
- 27 Mar 2020 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a 4-step approach is proposed: (i) prevention, based on the management of the soil seedbank and the improvement of the crop competitiveness against weeds, (ii) weed mapping, aiming at knowing the biological and ecological characteristics of weeds present in the field, (iii) decision-making process on the basis of the critical period of weed control and weed thresholds and iv) direct control (mechanical, physical, biological and chemical).

Emerging Challenges and Opportunities for Education and Research in Weed Science.

TL;DR: Improved knowledge of weed ecology, biology, genetics, and molecular biology is essential for developing sustainable weed control practices and judicious use of advanced technologies will play a significant role in reducing costs associated with weed control.

The FLORSYS crop-weed canopy model, a tool to investigate and promote agroecological weed management

TL;DR: In this paper, a model called FLORSYS is used to evaluate and promote the benefits of crop diversification for agroecological weed management, by identifying crop ideotypes, tracking crop-diverse solutions in farm-field networks, and evaluating crop-dependent solutions proposed by experts and stakeholders, and feeding participatory workshops with farmers.

The response of weed and crop species to shading: Which parameters explain weed impacts on crop production?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an individual-based 3D representation of crop-weed canopies to predict weed dynamics and crop production from pedoclimate and cropping system information.

Global food demand and the sustainable intensification of agriculture

TL;DR: Per capita demand for crops, when measured as caloric or protein content of all crops combined, has been a similarly increasing function of per capita real income since 1960 and forecasts a 100–110% increase in global crop demand from 2005 to 2050.

Crop losses to pests

TL;DR: Despite a clear increase in pesticide use, crop losses have not significantly decreased during the last 40 years, however, pesticide use has enabled farmers to modify production systems and to increase crop productivity without sustaining the higher losses likely to occur from an increased susceptibility to the damaging effect of pests.

Reducing the Risks of Herbicide Resistance: Best Management Practices and Recommendations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a multifaceted approach to mitigate the evolution of herbicide resistance by reducing selection through diversification of weed control techniques, minimizing the spread of resistance genes and genotypes via pollen or propagule dispersal, and eliminating additions of weed seed to the soil seedbank.
