This review explores ways that cover crops alter soil environmental conditions that can be
used to decrease seed survival, maintain weed seed dormancy, and reduce germination …

Modern agriculture has a great relationship with the application of herbicides to control
weed, an undesirable plant, which causes the reduction in quality and yield of agricultural …

The use of microbe–seed interactions for weed management has been variously discussed
over the last few decades, and soil microbes have been demonstrated to play an important …

Planting a cover crop living mulch between plastic mulch beds in fresh market vegetable
production can reduce soil erosion and runoff, and offers an opportunity to grow an income …

Soil fertility and disturbance can potentially modify weed dynamics in a corn–soybean
rotation. Knowing how added mineral fertilizers and tillage influence weed populations in …

High levels of seed production, long seed dormancy periods, and seed longevity are
important traits of weed persistence. Seeds are disseminated within and between fields and …

Frequent cultivation is often used to control weeds in crops such as lettuce. The efficacy of
this technique on weed populations has been evaluated, but the effect on weed emergence …

Soil fungi, by damaging or decaying weed seeds in the soil seed bank, are important agents
