- Improved herbicide stewardship with remote sensing and . . .
Underused decision tools: Thresholds and the critical weed-free period Two underutilized weed management tools for better herbicide stewardship are weed management thresholds and the critical period of weed control
- 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
- Critical Period of Weed Control - UMass Amherst
For many disease and insect pests there are well-established thresholds to help determine the most critical management times to avoid yield loss
- Economic Threshold Weed Control Farming: Smart Decision Guide
Adopting economic threshold weed control farming practices typically reduces herbicide costs while maintaining profitability University research demonstrates that threshold-based programs decrease herbicide applications by 20-40% compared to calendar-based programs
- Level of threshold weed density does not affect the long-term . . .
Weed control thresholds are often presented as a means to reduce unnecessary control measures, thereby increasing the effectiveness of weed management While the threshold is a useful tool for cost-effective application of control on a single-year base, its role over the longer term is more complicated
- 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
- Weed control thresholds: a useful concept in natural ecosystems?
However, because most weed populations generate effects that carry over to following years, an eco-nomically-defined action threshold that deals solely with impact in the current sea-son is not suited to triggering action on weed control
