Weed

Weeds remain one of the main factors limiting crop productivity. They compete with crops for soil moisture, light, and nutrients, creating favorable conditions for the spread of diseases and pests. For an agronomist, weed control is a complex task that requires a combination of proper tillage, adherence to crop rotation, and scientifically grounded herbicide application. Understanding the species composition of weeds and the specifics of their development is necessary to prevent resistance and reduce the risks of harvest losses at all stages: from soil preparation to crop protection during the growing season.

This collection gathers materials covering key aspects of weed control in field cropping, vegetable growing, and horticulture. Readers will find articles on modern methods of tillage, the efficacy of various herbicides, the prevention of weed resistance, as well as the results of long-term monitoring of weed species composition in different regions. Special attention is paid to the planning of agrotechnical measures and the organization of field trials. These data will serve as a practical tool for those who strive to create an effective crop protection system and increase harvest quality on their lands.
