Most of the biological diversity in our crop fields comes from the presence of weeds. They provide habitat for both beneficial insects and . 5. th. module. Crop-specific . problems and potential solutions in cereals, legumes, . fruit . and vegetables. Module objectives. The yield gap between organic and conventional production varies from crop to crop due to different crop-specific factors. While cereals and tubers mainly suffer from nutrient availability (basically nitrogen deficiency), legumes are difficult to be managed because of weeds and diseases. Insect pests are particularly important in oil crops. Each crop group shows different susceptibility to the various yield-limiting factors. Hence, agricultural practices such as variety selection and crop rotation design have a major impact on crop yield and quality.. Lesson 2: Weed Control Strategies.

How pre-sowing rainfall or irrigation helps in better weed control in . Mr. Gomes. Seed Production. A live source of life! A mature fertilized ovule (embryo) that has stored energy reserves. A small plant packaged for shipment…just needs the right environment to go. Prevention of seed production, especially in annuals, is one of the biggest keys to reducing weed pressure. Plant Science 280. Mr. Gomes. Herbicides. Defined as “a chemical substance or cultured organism used to kill or suppress the growth of plants.”. Designed to disrupt the physiology of plants over a long enough period of time to kill them or severely reduce their growth. PCP 506: WEED SCIENCE AND CONTROL Definition of a Weed The definition of weeds is predicated on human perception , desire and needs.  A weed is a plant which interferes with human activity or welfare. Weeds are best controlled within the first several weeks after a crop is planted. Herbicides are more effective against smaller weeds. Smaller weeds are less competitive than larger weeds. Maximize profit. Approaches for water conservation. Harvesting Water. 1.Increasing infiltration. During strong rains, only apart of the water infiltrates into the soil. A considerable part flows away as surface runoff, thus being lost for the crop. In order to get as much of the available rainwater into the soil, the infiltration of rain water needs to be increased..
