Library research, some strategies for weed management in organic farming
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
organic farmers struggling to develop effective and economical weed management practices are not alone. Weed control in organically managed special attention to preventing weed problems before they start. Cover crops planted and mechanical controls of weeds in the vine row are key components of an organic weed management program. Typically combinations of methods are used in organic situations. Drip irrigation, Manually pulling weeds, Boiling water, Vinegar, Mechanically tilling around plants, Besides tilling, other mechanical weed control methods also exist Ploughing, Crop rotation, Weed mat, A weed mat is an artificial mulch, fibrous cloth material, bark or newspaper laid on top of the soil preventing weeds from growing to the surface. Therefore; weed management in organic farming, using no application of chemical weed control capability and their density in the long term.
