Herbicides remain the primary tool for weed control in modern crop production. Effective application of chemical plant protection products allows not only to minimize competition between weeds and crops, but also to preserve yield potential in various agrocenoses — from grain and industrial crops to vineyards. At the same time, the key aspect of protection today is the prevention of resistance and adherence to application technologies, which requires an agronomist to have a deep understanding of weed biology and the mechanisms of action of the products.
In this collection, we have systematized relevant materials concerning weed control, including work with invasive species and the use of herbicides in mixed crops. Readers will find here the results of field trials of products, an analysis of the range of plant protection products, as well as recommendations for preventing weed species resistance to chemical treatments. In addition, the articles cover related topics important for integrated crop protection: methods of post-harvest tillage, ways to control residual pesticides, and strategies for optimizing agrotechnical measures aimed at increasing farm productivity.
Plant protection For agronomists
Grass weeds create serious competition for industrial crops, significantly reducing their yield. The article analyzes the economic thresholds of weed infestation in crops and the effectiveness of using specialized herbicides
Plant protection For agronomists
The article examines the causes of weed resistance to herbicides in winter wheat crops. The author analyzes the mechanisms of resistance formation and proposes control methods for this phenomenon to maintain the yield of grain crops.
Plant protection For agronomists
The article examines the efficiency of post-emergence herbicide treatment in mixed crops of maize and sunflower. It describes the critical stages of weed development and the methodology for conducting field trials for the protection of sensitive crops
Plant protection For agronomists
Review of the biological characteristics and spread problems of invasive species of Sosnowsky's hogweed and Canadian goldenrod in the territory of the Republic of Belarus. The history of their introduction and negative impact on the environment are examined.
Plant protection For agronomists
The article presents the results of field trials of the florasulam-based herbicide Russel 100. The biological efficacy of the product in controlling broad-leaved weeds in maize and winter wheat crops is examined
Plant protection For agronomists
Mixed crops of maize and sunflower significantly increase the productivity of forage production but require thorough protection against weeds. The article reviews methods of soil herbicide application and test results on preserving the harvest of green mass
Soil and tillage For agronomists
Timely stubble tillage after harvesting cereal crops is a key condition for preserving soil moisture and protecting the future harvest from weeds, pests, and diseases. The article describes effective field preparation methods and critical timelines for operations to ensure successful sowing of spring crops
Plant protection For agronomists
