CROP WEEDING [3 records]

Record 1 2025-02-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant and Crop Production
CONT

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.

Key term(s)
  • close-row crop

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cultures (Agriculture)
CONT

Les cultures à petits interlignes (ex.: céréales) ainsi que les cultures de pleine surface (ex.: prairies) favorisent en effet beaucoup moins l'érosion que les cultures à larges interlignes (ex.: maïs).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Producción vegetal
CONT

Normalmente se utiliza para el corte de cocos, [aunque]​ era también una herramienta usual para cosechar cultivos en hileras estrechas en bancales, tales como arroz, frijol mungo, la soja y el maní.

Record 2 2021-12-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cultural Practices (Agriculture)
  • Weed Science
CONT

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soin des cultures (Agriculture)
  • Mauvaises herbes
CONT

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.

Record 3 2019-04-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ecosystems
DEF

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.

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écosystèmes
DEF

[...] fonction, processus [ou] attribut généré par les écosystèmes qui donne lieu à des impacts négatifs, perçus ou réels sur le bien-être humain.

CONT

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.
