Scentless mayweed

Scentless mayweed is one of the most common and difficult-to-eradicate weeds infesting both field agrocenoses and berry plantations. Its wide distribution and high ability to adapt create serious obstacles to achieving the planned yield. For agronomists and farm specialists, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms of this species' resistance to chemical plant protection products, as well as to know current methods for controlling its population in various crops, including cereals and fruit and berry plants.

In this selection, we have collected key materials regarding the control of scentless mayweed under modern production conditions. Readers will find information on the effectiveness of using florasulam-based herbicides in maize and wheat crops, as well as general recommendations for preventing resistance when using 2,4-D and MCPA group preparations. In addition, data on the analysis of the weed species composition in strawberry and raspberry plantations are presented, which will help in developing protection systems for plots with perennial berry crops.
