Herbicides form potent tools to check the mixed flora of weeds in close row crop like wheat where manual or mechanical weeding is difficult and certain grassy weeds evade farmer hoe because of botanical mimicry at early growth stage. 1, record 1, English, - close%20row%20crop

Another type of physical weed control is mechanical weeding, such as hoeing and harrowing. These techniques have been especially successful when used in organic farming for many decades, and are currently experiencing a renaissance in conventional farming systems also. As an alternative to chemical procedures, mechanical weed control is of prime interest in all crop types. 2, record 2, English, - mechanical%20weeding

Le désherbage mécanique des cultures implique le passage de plusieurs outils, chacun de ceux-ci étant adapté à la situation spécifique lors d'un passage. Le choix de l'outil et de son ajustement dépend du sol, du stade de la culture et du stade des mauvaises herbes, de la différence relative de stades entre les deux et de la pression des mauvaises herbes. 2, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9sherbage%20m%C3%A9canique

An organism, species, functional group, population, community, or trait attributes thereof, which disrupts the provision of ecosystem services and the functional relationships between them and ecosystem services providers. 3, record 3, English, - ecosystem%20disservice
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The focus on benefits of ecosystem services often overlooks the importance of harmful effects, or ’ecosystem disservices’, for example diseases such as malaria. In agriculture, disservices include negative effects of pests and diseases on crop quality and productivity, or the increase they cause in production costs when e. g., weeds compete for water and nutrients, which requires additional time and resources for weeding. 3, record 3, English, - ecosystem%20disservice

Par exemple, dans le cas du rafraîchissement des rues, si l'on trouvait la variété d'arbres optimale en termes de services et desservices écosystémiques (forte évapotranspiration, fort ombrage, forte rugosité, forte résistance aux conditions urbaines, faible émission d'allergènes et de polluants, etc.), la logique utilitariste voudrait que cette espèce soit prépondérante en ville, ce qui ne serait de toute évidence pas optimal en termes de biodiversité. 1, record 3, French, - desservice%20%C3%A9cosyst%C3%A9mique
