Integrated weed management manual

An integrated weed management approach to land management combines the use of complementary weed control methods such as grazing, herbicide application, land fallowing, and biological control. The resulting combinations provide the best possible solutions to weed problems for land managers. – INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT Table of Contents Purpose Objectives Authority Responsibility Reference Policy File and Record Maintenance.1 Weed Management Planning Manage Noxious Weeds Ensure Environmental Controls and Objectives.2 Program Management Develop, coordinate, and Adequately Fund Program Use and Integrated . Integrated Weed Management (IWM) approach aims at minimizing the residue problem in plant, soil, air and water. An IWM involves the utilizationof a combination of mechanical, chemical and cultural practices of weed management in a planned sequence, so designed as not to affect the ecosystem.

Integrated weed management (IWM) is a strategy for weed control that considers the use of all economically available weed control techniques without relying on only one of these. Weed control mechanisms include preventative measures, monitoring, crop rotations, tillage, crop competition, herbicide rotation, herbicide mixtures, biological. Outline. MANUAL OUTLINE. The manual is divided into seven sections, to assist the reader make the development of an integrated weed management (IWM) plan a simple process. Section 1 Economic benefits of adopting IWM Outlines the economic benefits of IWM in Australian cropping systems using computer model simulations. There has been a long-felt need for a teaching manual on Principles and Practices of Weed Management. This manual is a precise account of various theoretical aspects of weed management presented in a simple language suitable for Agron students. The manual has been divided in 5 units.
