Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a great percentage of farms in New Zealand as pastures, they are mainly important in contributing to the milk and meat industries. Pasture quality is highly affected by weeds. Weeds grow fast and invade pastures by seed pollination. They consume the nutrients, water, and other minerals, and once they are bitter, cattle do not eat them. Therefore, dairy farmers have to allocate a significant portion of their budget and time to monitor and clean weeds. Unfortunately, most weedmanagement tasks are manual with no consistent technology. Thus, the motivation behind this paper was to design an object detection model for weed monitoring and control in pastures. The model was designed and tested on California thistle, a dominant and widespread weed on New Zealand pastures. Our study is one of the major model designs for identifying weeds in an in-pasture environment, one of the most complicated environments for any object detection model.A synthetic methodology was used to create three types of datasets: plant-based, leaf-based, and mixed. The trained model based on the leaf-based dataset is one of the major contributions of our work which has not been conducted by any other weed detection models. After models had been trained, tuning experimentation was undertaken to improve the model's performance. This involved studying the model's hyperparameters in various ranges and then recording their values at theoptimum points. The improved model showed a 93% of mAP accuracy in the detection of training images and over 95% of accuracy for testing images. The experimentation showed that the leaf-based model has slightly better than other models. The model can automate highly any weed management system. The use of this model will save farmers time and money and help them reduce the errors of manual work. Full paper available at https://doi.org/10.1145/3544491.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Chemical Weed Control is the first book to present an overview of plant crop protection against non-food plants using non-chemical means. Plants growing wild—particularly unwanted plants found in cultivated ground to the exclusion of the desired crop—have been treated with herbicides and chemical treatments in the past. As concern over environmental, food and consumer safety increases, research has turned to alternatives, including the use of cover crops, thermal treatments and biotechnology to reduce and eliminate unwanted plants. This book provides insight into existing and emerging alternative crop protection methods and includes lessons learned from past methodologies. As crop production resources decline while consumer concerns over safety increase, the effective control of weeds is imperative to insure the maximum possible levels of soil, sunlight and nutrients reach the crop plants. Allows reader to identify the most appropriate solution based on their individual use or case Provides researchers, students and growers with current concepts regarding the use of modern, environment-friendly weed control techniques Presents methods of weed management—an important part of integrated weed management in the future Exploits the knowledge gained from past sustainable weed management efforts

Book excerpt: The updated edition of the classic, fundamental book on weedscience Weed Science provides a detailed examination ofthe principles of integrated weed management with important detailson how chemical herbicides work and should be used. This revisedFourth Edition addresses recent developments affecting weedscience. These include the increased use of conservation-tillagesystems, environmental concerns about the runoff of agrochemicals,soil conservation, crop biotechnology, resistance of weeds andcrops to herbicides, weed control in nonagricultural settings andconcerns regarding invasive plants, wetland restoration, and theneed for a vastly improved understanding of weed ecology. Current management practices are covered along with guidance forselecting herbicides and using them effectively. To serve as a moreefficient reference, herbicides are cross-listed by chemical andbrand name and grouped by mechanism of action and physiologicaleffect rather than chemical structure. In addition, an introductionto organic chemistry has been added to familiarize readers withorganic herbicides. Also included are guidelines on weed-controlpractices for specific crops or situations, such as small grains,row crops, horticultural crops, lawns and turf, range land, brush,and aquatic plant life. Generously supplemented with 300 drawings, photographs, andtables, Weed Science is an essential book for students taking anintroductory course in weed science, as well as a reference foragricultural advisors, county agents, extension specialists, andprofessionals throughout the agrochemical industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses recent developments in weed science. These developments include conservation agriculture and conservation tillage, climate change, environmental concerns about the runoff of agrochemicals, resistance of weeds and crops to herbicides, and the need for a vastly improved understanding of weed ecology and herbicide use. The book provides details on harnessing knowledge of weed ecology to improve weed management in different crops and presents information on opportunities in weed management in different crops. Current management practices are also covered, along with guidance for selecting herbicides and using them effectively. Written by experts in the field and supplemented with instructive illustrations and tables, Recent Advances in Weed Management is an essential reference for agricultural specialists and researchers, government agents, extension specialists, and professionals throughout the agrochemical industry, as well as a foundation for advanced students taking courses in weed science.

Download or read book Weed Management for Organic Farmers Growers and Smallholders written by Gareth Davies and published by Crowood Press (UK). This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well researched book covers all aspects of organic weed management. It is essential reading, not only for organic farmers, growers, and smallholders, but also for organic advisers and consultants, agricultural students and all those who have an interest in weed management theory and practice in organic farming systems. The authors provide a practical guide to weed management practices on organic farms in temperate areas and emphasize a 'whole system approach' to organic weed management in the context of whole rotations. The book examines the scientific and organic principles underlying weed management and considers their implications for weed control. A thorough assessment is made of all of the common weeds and the different methods needed to manage them, both within particular crops and across broader organic agricultural systems.
