Stacked Crop Rotations Exploit Weed-Weed Competition for Sustainable Weed Management

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Crop rotation has long been considered one of the simplest and most effective tools for managing weeds. In this paper, we demonstrate how crop rotations can be strategically arranged to harness a novel mechanism of weed suppression: weed-weed competition. Specifically, we consider how crop stacking, or increasing the number of consecutive plantings of a single crop within a rotation, can decrease the size of the w...
