Herbicidal weed management practices: History and future prospects of nanotechnology in an eco-friendly crop production system

“…Therefore, weed management is an important aspect of crop production because weeds have such a dynamic and stubborn nature ([ 1 ], Santosh Kumar [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]). Generally, weeds compete with crops for light, water, nutrients, and space because they exist at the same trophic level of the food chain as crop plants [ 1 , [5] , [6] , [7] ]. As a result, a significant yield loss occurs.…”

Controlled release herbicide formulation for effective weed control efficacy

“…In global agricultural markets, weeds are estimated to be the highest cause of potential yield loss (34%) when compared with animals (18%) and pathogens (16%) 1 – 4 . Weeds adversely affect crop production in terms of quality, economy and environment 4 – 6 .…”

Weeds adversely affect crop production in terms of quality, economy and environment 4 – 6 . Both narrow and broad-leaf weeds have detrimental impacts on crop fields, however broad-leaf weeds are considered the biggest weed pest worldwide 1 , 7 , 8 .…”

“…Both narrow and broad-leaf weeds have detrimental impacts on crop fields, however broad-leaf weeds are considered the biggest weed pest worldwide 1 , 7 , 8 . Some invasive broad-leaf weeds release toxicants (Allelochemicals) through their roots, impacting crop growth and production 4 , 7 , 8 . Therefore, effective weed management is vital for retaining desired crop quality and production rates 4 , 8 – 10 .…”
