  2. Jul 28, 2010 · This is the case in particular for weed management, where issues have so far largely focused on the conflict between weeds and crop productivity. Here, we review recent findings that have led to a changing perception on weeds in agro-ecosystems and upcoming areas in terms of weed management options.

  3. Apr 8, 2019 · Weeds pose severe threats to agricultural and natural landscapes worldwide. One major reason for the failure to effectively manage weeds at landscape scales is that current Best...

  4. Jan 25, 2024 · Here, we review current knowledge of landscape effects on weed community properties (abundance, diversity, and composition) and seed predation (a key factor in agroecological weed management).

  5. Apr 1, 2011 · Our main findings are that weeds have numerous interactions with other organisms and, in turn, some of these interactions can have direct, either negative or positive, effects on the functioning...

  6. Jul 8, 2020 · Uncontrolled, weeds could reduce global yields of major crops by around 34% (Oerke 2006), yet when too many weeds are removed from farmed landscapes, major declines in other wildlife follow (Marshall et al. 2003; Bretagnolle and Gaba 2015; Smith et al. 2020).
