Description
Summary:Organic vegetable crops are part of niche crops that can provide farmers with high incomes. Controling weeds in these crops is an extremely important work, constituting today a real challenge for vegetable growers because only non-chemical methods are accepted in the organic farming system for plant protection. Physical weed control is mostly used, which is based on the application of several techniques, the most used being mechanical and thermal control. The paper shows a short synthesis of current non-chemical methods and technical devices used in integrated weed management in organic vegetable crops.
