- Weed control thresholds: a useful concept in natural ecosystems?
The threshold concept has received con-siderable attention in relation to the management of well-established weeds and other pests in agricultural systems, but its applicability to the management of weeds of natural ecosystems has yet to be examined in any depth
- Mastering Threshold Concepts in Weed Science
By understanding economic thresholds and applying threshold concepts in weed management, farmers and agronomists can optimize crop yields, reduce unnecessary herbicide applications, and minimize the environmental impact of weed control strategies
- The Threshold Concept and its Application to Weed Science
Regardless of the type, thresholds imply that weed effects are population dependent, and as such, allow some type of prediction to be made relative to the consequences of control decisions
- The Threshold Concept and Its Application to Weed Science
Economic threshold may be used to describe short-term effects of weed interference occurring in a single growing season, or multiple-season effects including some cost associated with seed produced by uncontrolled plants
- (PDF) Economic threshold concept for weed management in crops . . .
The economic threshold (ET) is one of the major decision-making frameworks for rationalizing herbicides use for better weed management while reducing environmental impacts
- 5. 7 Critical Period of Weed Control – Principles of Weed Control
Critical Period of Weed Control is a threshold commonly used, which is relative to time from planting date Researchers have identified at what point during the growing season weeds can inflict the most damage on a crop’s potential yield
- Ecological Implications of Using Thresholds for Weed Management
Various types of thresholds have been developed for weed management in an attempt to provide a more rational approach to decision making The economic threshold concept was originally developed for management of arthropod pests, and is based on an understanding of arthropod population biology
