Description
Summary:[...]chemical weed control has been adopted as quick and highly economical measure to keep weeds below threshold level. Managing weed seed bank to lessen the number of viable weed seeds in the soil could be an effective weed control strategy as reducing the number of viable seeds could reduce the weed population. (2005) found that integrated weed management prevented weeds to shed their seeds in the field, weed patches were reduced by 35%. [...]it was inferred that failure to control weeds before the onset of reproductive stage could leads to buildup of weed-seed bank and preventing weed seeds to deposit in a particular field not only reduced the weeds in the field but also in neighboring fields. [...]efforts should be directed at reducing the weed seed deposition and improving the methods to remove seed from the soil.
