Book Description
Technology is rapidly advancing in all areas of society, including agriculture. In both conventional and organic systems, there is a need to apply technology beyond our current approach to improve the efficiency and economics of management. Weeds, in particular, have been part of cropping systems for centuries often being ranked as the number one production cost. Now, public demand for a sustainably grown product has created economic incentives for producers to improve their practices, yet the development of advanced weed control tools beyond biotech has lagged behind. An opportunity has been created for engineers and weed scientists to pool their knowledge and work together to ‘fill the gap’ in managing weeds in crops. Never before has there been such pressure to produce more with less in order to sustain our economies and environments. This book is the first to provide a radically new approach to weed management that could change cropping systems both now and in the future.
The Economics of Glyphosate Resistance Management in Corn and Soybean Production

ISBN: 9781512272161
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Glyphosate, known by many trade names, including Roundup, is a highly effective herbicide. Widespread glyphosate use for corn and soybean has led to glyphosate resistance, which is now documented in 14 weed species affecting U.S. cropland, and recent surveys suggest that acreage with glyphosate-resistant (GR) weeds is expanding. Data from USDA's Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS), along with the Benchmark Study (conducted independently by plant scientists), are used to address several issues raised by the spread of GR weeds. Choices made by growers that could help manage glyphosate resistance include using glyphosate during fewer years, combining it with one or more alternative herbicides, and, most importantly, not applying glyphosate during consecutive growing seasons. As a result, managing glyphosate resistance is more cost effective than ignoring it, and after about 2 years, the cumulative impact of the returns received is higher when managing instead of ignoring resistance.

Weed Control
Author: Nicholas E. KorresPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351651978
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 664
Book Description
In light of public concerns about sustainable food production, the necessity for human and environmental protection, along with the evolution of herbicide resistant weeds, call for a review of current weed control strategies. Sustainable weed control requires an integrated approach based on knowledge of each crop and the weeds that threaten it. This book will be an invaluable source of information for scholars, growers, consultants, researchers and other stakeholders dealing with either arable, row, cash, vegetables, orchards or even grassland-based production systems. The uniqueness of this book comes from the balanced coverage of herbicide effects on humans and environment in relation to best weed control practices of the most important cropping systems worldwide. Furthermore, it amalgamates and discusses the most appropriate, judicious and suitable weed control strategies for a wide range of crops. It reviews the available information and suggests solutions that are not merely feasible but also optimal.

Book Description
FROM THE PREFACE: Weeds reduce agricultural output and/or add to the costs of production and are therefore important economically. Moreover weed research scientists, administrators, and farmers make decisions about allocating resources (i.e. make economic decisions) every day. Weed control and economics are inseparable in an agricultural production context and the economic effects of weeds are diverse and complex. In this book we have endeavoured to present a broad but penetrating view of the impact of weeds and assessment of their control. The book is aimed to provide agricultural scientists, administrators, advisors, and students with a greater appreciation of the economic impact of weeds and of the economic assessment of weed control strategies and methods. For agricultural economists, the book will provide an agronomic background and an economic framework for tackling issues in weed control and research.
