Agroecological Approaches to Weed Control & Climate Change and its Impact on Weed Dynamics

Explores the use of agroecological principles, such as intercropping, crop diversification, and habitat manipulation to naturally suppress weeds, boost biodiversity, and improve soil health. Additionally, the topic assesses the influence of climate change on weed growth patterns, competition, and distribution, and how to adapt weed management strategies in response to these changes.

Weed Resistance Management

Focuses on understanding the development of herbicide-resistant weed populations, identifying the mechanisms of resistance, and exploring strategies to mitigate resistance through rotational use of herbicides, diversification of control methods, and adopting resistance management practices.

Edible Weed & Allelopathy

Cover a range of related issues, including agronomy practices that influence weed growth, pesticide regulation and safety, and soil health's impact on weed ecology. It will explore the socio-economic aspects of weed management, such as cost-effectiveness, labor demands, and farmers' adoption of new technologies. Additionally, this section will address government policies, extension services, traditional and cultural weed control methods, and their integration with modern practices to create sustainable, region-specific strategies.

Examines the potential use of certain weeds as edible resources and their nutritional value. This topic also includes discussions on allelopathy, where certain plants or weeds release chemicals that inhibit the growth of other species, and how this knowledge can be harnessed in weed management.
