Super Weeds: Conceptual Frameworks and Integrated Management Systems

Weeds are a major constraint in agricultural production, causing significant yield losses and economic damage worldwide. The continuous use of herbicides has brought about the development of weeds resistant to these herbicides, referred to as superweeds. Such weeds have spread throughout the world, including India, posing great problems in agricultural practices. Practices such as crop rotation, herbicide diversification, proper agronomic management and regular monitoring can help manage resistance effectively. Sustainable and diversified weed management strategies are therefore crucial to ensure long-term agricultural productivity and food security.
