“…The great e ciency of SDI in reducing weeds pressure in several eld and vegetable crops as well as in orchards has been previously documented (Dastorani et al 2010). Since C. rotundus is susceptible to both shading and water stress (Masiunas et al 1997;Schonbeck 2015), the inclusion of competitive cereal crops, such as barley, wheat and sudangrass that quickly form a dense canopy and also have a greater drought tolerance (McKersie and Leshem 1994), in rotation with vegetable crops in highly infested farms might be a promising strategy.…”

“…Interference of C. rotundus is a major threat to vegetable production around the world (Wallace et al 2013), including Eastern and Southeastern parts of Iran. This invasive noxious weed has a remarkable ability to survive adverse conditions and can grow explosively when the land is planted to irrigated crops (Masiunas et al 1997). It is an invasive and di cult to control weed in row crops, lawns, and orchards in Eastern and Southeastern areas of Iran, where most farmers practice surface irrigation ( ood or furrow irrigation) to grow their crops.…”

Cyperus rotundus L. causes high yield losses in fruiting vegetables and cucurbits in eastern and southeastern parts of Iran. Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of degree and duration of water stress on growth, fecundity and biomass partitioning of purple nutsedge. The degree of water stress study included five treatments, where the amount of water applied to each pot at 3-day interval was equivalent to 100, 75, 50, 25, and 12.5% of pot water content. The study of water stress duration included six durations of water stress: 3-, 6-, 9-, 12-, 15- and 18-day intervals, where the amount of water applied to each pot was equivalent to 100% of pot water content. The greatest values for plant height, leaf area, shoot and tuber number and below- and aboveground biomass were recorded at 100% of pot water content and also at 3-day water stress duration, whereas they were reduced as degree and duration of water stress increased. This study shows that although C. rotundus is susceptible to water stress, it allocates greater biomass to underground organs under a higher degree and duration of water stress. This necessitates strategies that minimize water availability to purple nutsedge plants and inhibit new shoot and tuber production.

“…Herbicides are a mainstay of weed control in conventional vegetable production worldwide. Options include: pre‐emergent or pre‐plant products; herbicides to control selected weed species within specific crops after crop emergence; and non‐selective products to control a broad range of weeds, used during crop fallows or applied selectively (Davis & Frisvold, 2017; Kristiansen et al, 2015; Melander et al, 2005; Robinson, 2014).…”

“…Post‐emergent herbicides are more likely to be available for control of grass weed species in specific broadleaf crops, with few options available to selectively manage broadleaf weeds (Henderson & Bishop, 2000). Both pre‐emergent and post‐emergent herbicides are relatively expensive, but generally provide value for money since they are also highly effective (Kristiansen et al, 2015; Robinson, 2014).…”

Weeds have a significant impact on vegetable production worldwide. These intensive cropping systems feature frequent tillage, fertilization and irrigation, providing ideal growing conditions for crops as well as certain weeds. Integrated weed management (IWM) can reduce reliance on herbicides by encouraging a systems approach to weed management. Using insights from global research and industry literature, we investigated the effectiveness of prevailing weed control methods, and evaluated emerging management practices and technologies for ongoing research and adoption. Weed control relies primarily on a relatively narrow range of herbicides as well as frequent tillage. Herbicides have negative impacts on soil, water and human health, while tillage impacts soil quality and function. Intensive cropping on smaller plots facilitates IWM, relying on multiple strategies including hand weeding, mulches, cover crops and cultural methods (e.g., crop rotations, timing). New herbicide options are suggested as an industry priority but are constrained by the lack of new chemistry and potential herbicide resistance. Refinement and adoption of non‐herbicide and emerging precision control methods into farm IWM in vegetables is more likely to be sustainable. This review is relevant to advanced vegetable production systems globally, but also to smallholder vegetable production in developing economies.

“…The increased interest of researchers is probably also linked to the development and growth of organic farming, low-input and conservative agriculture, in which weed management is essentially based on IWM practices. Specific IWM systems have been developed for selected herbaceous field crops such as soybean [11], wheat [12], maize [13], rice [14], cotton [15], several horticultural species [16,17], etc. However, a compendium of these IWM systems lacks in literature and it could be important to help farmers in developing the most suitable IWM strategy applicable to such crops.…”

Current awareness about the environmental impact of intensive agriculture, mainly pesticides and herbicides, has driven the research community and the government institutions to program and develop new eco-friendly agronomic practices for pest control. In this scenario, integrated pest management and integrated weed management (IWM) have become mandatory. Weeds are commonly recognized as the most important biotic factor affecting crop production, especially in organic farming and low-input agriculture. In herbaceous field crops, comprising a wide diversity of plant species playing a significant economic importance, a compendium of the specific IWM systems is missing, that, on the contrary, have been developed for single species. The main goal of this review is to fill such gap by discussing the general principles and basic aspects of IWM to develop the most appropriate strategy for herbaceous field crops. In particular, a 4-step approach is proposed: (i) prevention, based on the management of the soil seedbank and the improvement of the crop competitiveness against weeds, (ii) weed mapping, aiming at knowing the biological and ecological characteristics of weeds present in the field, (iii) the decision-making process on the basis of the critical period of weed control and weed thresholds and iv) direct control (mechanical, physical, biological and chemical). Moreover, the last paragraph discusses and suggests possible integrations of allelopathic mechanisms in IWM systems.
