Is crop yield related to weed species diversity and biomass in coconut and banana fields of northeastern Brazil?

2016-03-01

Abstract excerpt

The ability to accommodate crop production for an ever-growing human population and achieve conservation of rapidly declining biodiversity remains a challenging task worldwide. In agroecosystems, weed diversity and biomass are frequently assumed to be negatively related to crop yield and biomass. However, positive effects of weed species (pollinator and parasitoid attraction) and different resource acquisition str...
