Chickweed

Common chickweed (Stellaria media) is one of the most widespread and difficult-to-eradicate weeds, causing significant harm to crop productivity. It is capable of rapidly colonizing grain crops, as well as berry plantations, creating fierce competition for nutrients and soil moisture. Understanding the biological characteristics of this weed and monitoring its species composition in various areas are essential steps in planning a plant protection system, allowing agronomists and farm owners to minimize harvest losses.

This selection presents current materials dedicated to control methods for common chickweed and other weeds. Readers will find research results on the effectiveness of modern herbicides based on florasulam in maize and winter wheat crops. The publications also address important issues of preventing weed resistance to 2,4-D and MCPA group preparations. Additionally, an analysis of the weed species composition in strawberry and raspberry plantations is provided, which helps to build a scientifically based strategy for chemical protection in various types of agrocenoses.
