weed-management

3 articles

Weed management encompasses the strategies and techniques used to suppress or eliminate unwanted plant species that compete with cultivated crops or native flora for resources such as light, water, and nutrients. Effective weed control is critical to plant science because invasive and noxious weeds can drastically reduce agricultural yields, disrupt ecosystem dynamics, and threaten biodiversity. Research in this field drives advances in herbicide development, integrated pest management, and sustainable farming practices that balance crop productivity with environmental stewardship.
