| Weed management systems that rely less on chemical control are needed globally. Next to curative chemical weed control, there are other ways of tackling weed problems, such as (a) reduction of the weed seed bank in the soil, (b) reduced recruitment of weed seeds from the soil seed bank, and (c) strengthening the relative competitive ability of the crop. A number of case studies are presented in which diversity is used as a basis for improved weed management. In the first case study, diversity refers to genetic variation within a crop species, which is utilized in breeding programmes aiming at the development of more competitive cultivars. In the other case studies, diversity refers to the reinforcement of weakly competitive crop species through the... |
