Weed Management in Conservation Agriculture | Chapter 12 | Emerging Issues in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 6

 Given the current shortage of natural resources and the changeable nature of the climate, preservation agriculture (CA) is a efficient alternative. As a result, it is increasingly being used in rainfed extents to conserve soil and water. Herbicide use or manual destroy is both effective habits to manage the grass problem in CA. In conservation farming, weed control is considerably influenced by farming, crop establishment methods, apparatus, agronomic practices, etc. Conservation cultivation places a strong priority on capital preservation and prohibits the use of chemical compound. Under conservation agriculture, weeds maybe reduced by utilizing crop rotation, compatible type collection with optimum seed rates, farming with sufficient soil destroying, cover crops, and appropriate water management. In CA, the use of herbicides has raised because of high labor costs and proper unavailability. The sustainability of preservation agriculture can be revised by implementing joined weed management, as a sole herbicide cannot efficiently control a wide variety of weeds.
