“…The reduction of herbicide use achieved with T1 and T2 spraying systems is relevant (50 and 66% respectively) and therefore it reduces the risk of environmental contamination. The herbicide use reduction with the adoption of band application is in keeping with previous studies on various crops [13,17,18] and it is clearly related to the percentage of the field sprayed. A further herbicide reduction could be reached by decreasing the width of the treated band along the crop row.…”

“…An important reduction in the amount of herbicides used, and consequently a notable decrease of the risks of herbicide contamination in water bodies, can therefore be achieved by switching from broadcast application to band application along the crop row combined with inter-row mechanical control. Similar strategies with pre-emergence or post-emergence herbicide application for crops, such as maize, soybean, sunflower [13][14][15][16], but also carrots [17], potatoes [18] and sugar beet [19] gave similar levels of weed control and crop yields to the corresponding strategies based on broadcast herbicide application, but with relevant reduction of herbicide use.…”

Herbicides have facilitated weed management but their incorrect use can lead to environmental contamination. Reducing herbicide use by limiting their application to a band along the crop row can decrease their environmental impact. Three field experiments were conducted in North-eastern Italy to evaluate herbicide band application systems integrated with inter-row hoeing for silage maize. Post-emergence herbicide band application (sprayed area 50% of total field; herbicide dose 50% of that recommended, application with an inter-row cultivator prototype) was compared with pre-emergence band application (sprayed area 33% of total field; herbicide dose 33% of that recommended, application with a seeder) and pre-emergence broadcast application (sprayed area 100% of total field; full recommended herbicide dose, application with a boom sprayer) that is standard management for maize. Weed density and composition were evaluated before and after post-emergence herbicide application and at crop harvest. Crop yield was also recorded. Weed density in untreated areas ranged between 5 and 15 plants m −2 in the different experiments. Optimal weed control and good yields were achieved without significant differences between all treatments. Herbicide band application can provide optimal weed control in silage maize, at the same time allowing a relevant reduction of herbicide input.

Analysis of the Effectiveness of Shielded Band Spraying in Weed Control in Field Crops

An important factor along with the availability of food is its quality. It depends, among other things, on the type of plant protection products used and the method of their application. This manuscript presents research on the possibility of using a shielded band sprayer in field onion cultivation. The shielded band spraying technology presented in this article is the subject of a patent application (application number P.428494-The prototype of the machine was produced in Poland in cooperation with the University of Life Sciences in Poznań). The research consisted in comparing the quantity and quality of the obtained crop, based on various methods of reducing the weed population. The research results indicate that the proposed shielded band spraying technology may affect the food quality (the active substance is not sprayed on onion plants) and profitability of farms (less use of plant protection products).

“…The TFI of CON averaged by farms and years was 1 in Italy and 2 in Hungary, whereas for IWM, this was reduced to 0.5 and 1.2 respectively. Previous research has shown that band spraying of herbicides is as effective for weed control as conventional applications in different cropping systems, with herbicide savings of up to 50% in maize and soybean (Pannacci & Tei, ), 66% in carrot and potato crops (Ivany, ; Main et al ., ) and up to 70% in sugar beet (Wiltshire et al ., ).…”

Summary To promote integrated weed management (IWM) implementation in Europe, robust evidence on the sustainability of such tools and strategies is needed to motivate their adoption by stakeholders. This can only be achieved through assessing and validating them at real farm scale and using existing farm equipment, under diverse climatic and soil conditions representative of European agriculture. In 2013 and 2014, 12 on‐farm experiments (i.e. real field conditions on commercial farms, with natural weed flora) were conducted in four important European grain maize‐producing regions comparing the efficacy of herbicide band application integrated with inter‐row mechanical weeding as a potential IWM tool with the conventional broadcast herbicide application (CON) used by the farms. The IWM tools tested were as follows: (i) early post‐emergence herbicide band application combined with hoeing, followed by a second hoeing in southern Germany, (ii) early post‐emergence herbicide band application followed by hoeing in eastern Hungary and central Slovenia and (iii) pre‐emergence herbicide band application followed by hoeing in northern Italy. Herbicide band application integrated with hoeing provided good and partial weed control along and between maize rows respectively. No significant yield differences were detected between IWM and CON. IWM greatly reduced herbicide input and was economically sustainable over the duration of this study with no significant difference in gross margin compared with CON in all cases. This IWM tool could therefore be considered for implementation in European maize systems.
