Smart weed management: A small step towards doubling farmers’ income

“…Several techniques could be employed to reduce the load of weed seed bank in the soil. Readers may refer to Rao et al (2017) for more information on the impact of preventive weed control measures on weed seed bank.…”

Conservation agriculture-based resource-conserving practices and weed management in the rice-wheat cropping systems of the Indo-Gangetic Plains

“…that are difficult to control with herbicides. For example, inclusion of mungbean or through stale seedbed techniques during the fallow period between wheat and rice resulted in an 84 and 40% reduction in population of D. aegyptium in the Ram K. Malik, Virender Kumar and Andrew McDonald subsequent rice crop under ZT and CT systems respectively (Rao et al 2017).…”

Spatial and temporal evolution of imidazolinone-resitant red rice in 'Clearfield' rice cultivations

“…Another recommended practice of the managing program is the roguing of escapees, especially in crop rotation, which had also been minimally adopted (Table 2). Preventive strategies on decreasing seed production and dispersion are essential for red rice management (Rao et al, 2017). Therefore, the failure in adopting these practices, as above described, may be directly associated with the problems of the red rice control in the evaluated regions.…”
