Integrated Weed Management in Conservation Agriculture- A Review

Abstract

Conservation agriculture is a system designed to achieve sustainably sustainability in agriculture production by enlightening the biological functions of the agro-ecosystem with judicious use of chemical inputs and mechanical practices. Direct sowing/planting with minimum soil disturbance using zero, strip or reduced tillage, permanent vegetative residue for soil cover, and rotation of primary crops in combination with other crop management practices are the major principles of conservation agriculture (CA).
