Extract

Ecological studies improve the understanding of crop losses caused by weeds and interactions among weeds and crops. Knowledge of weed-crop interactions can aid in developing more efficient weed management systems. Also, knowledge of the duration of weed interference and the length of the weed-free period required to prevent crop losses is essential for planning cost-effective control practices.
