Economic Thresholds and the Case for Longer Term Approaches to Population Management of Weeds1

Abstract: The economic threshold is a concept strongly embedded within the weed management literature. There are some theoretical concerns with applying a static approach such as the economic threshold to weed management decision making. An improvement is to adopt a population management approach where the intertemporal effects of decisions are taken into account. The focus should be on managing weed populations through time rather than minimizing the yield effect of weeds in a single season or year. Rather than viewing… Show more

“…Não controlar uma população de plantas daninhas que se situe próximo do nível de dano pode definir ou não se será excedido um nível de dano em anos subseqüentes (Bauer & Mortensen, 1992;Jones & Medd, 2000). Por isso, o impacto de populações de ervas, mesmo abaixo do nível de dano, sobre o banco de sementes no solo tem sido objeto de muita preocupação.…”

“…Many species have staggered recruitment patterns and this in conjunction with short life cycles increases the chances of weeds surviving to maturity and producing seeds. Limiting seed production of weed escapes is now recognised as a key goal of weed management programs (Jones and Medd 2000;Medd 1997), and adds emphasis to the planning of weed management programs and the timing of operations.…”

“…Eisworth and van Kooten, 2002;Taylor and Burt, 1984;Jones and Medd, 2000; see also references in Pimentel et al, 2005). For example, Eiswerth and van Kooten (2002) analyze the supply impact of weed infestation on yield loss and cost of production on hay pastures for a non-indigenous weed, the yellow starthistle, and considering five management alternatives.…”
