“…In a field study, hand weeding followed by 0.0024 kg ai ha −1 imazethapyr-treated oil palm frond mulch (3.4 t ha −1 ) controlled 94.5% Ganges primrose [Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson], 94.0% of junglerice [Echinochloa colona (L.) Link], 96.4% of mixed switchgrass species (Panicum spp. ), 99.0% mile-a-minute (Mikania micrantha Kunth), and 96.8% of gale-of-the-wind (Phyllanthus amarus L.) 3 months after treatment in the coconut plantations (Masilamany et al, 2017).…”

“…Later, mulches stood out among other non-chemical practices and became a research hot spot due to their easy availability and low prices (Chalker-Scott, 2007). The widely tested mulches, such as pine bark, rice hull, Douglas fir bark, coconut coir, newspaper pellets, and waste paper (Pellett and Heleba, 1995;Penny and Neal, 2003;Amoroso et al, 2009;Mathers and Case, 2010;Chen et al, 2013;Marble, 2015;Bartley et al, 2017;Burrows, 2017;Masilamany et al, 2017;Marble et al, 2019;Massa et al, 2019). Adding mulches (2.54-7.62 cm) can reach satisfactory weed control results depending on mulch types and weed species (Richardson et al, 2008;Cochran et al, 2009;Altland et al, 2016;Massa et al, 2019;Särkkä and Tahvonen, 2020).…”

In addition, innovative non-chemical weed control methods, such as fertilizer placement, irrigation, flaming, steaming, oil palm, real-time robotics have been proposed and tested (Rainbolt et al, 2013;Frasconi et al, 2014;Masilamany et al, 2017;Pokharel et al, 2017;Stewart et al, 2017Stewart et al, , 2018Saha et al, 2019b;Raja et al, 2020).…”

“…In the first decades, chemical and disks were the two main ways for weed control, only a few studies tested chemical and nonchemical (mechanical or hand weeding) combined (Zheljazkov et al, 1996). In recent years, researchers integrated mulches and herbicides for weed control, aiming to reduce herbicide usage (or increase weed control performance) while maintaining the sufficient weed control (Somireddy, 2011;Masilamany et al, 2017;Shen and Zheng, 2017;Giaccone et al, 2018;FIGURE 11 | Meta-analysis for the chemical and non-chemical combined weed control method on weed density.

Weeds, as one of the biggest challenges in the nursery industry, have been controlled by various methods, such as chemical and non-chemical practices. Although these practices have been widely established and tested to control weeds, there is no systematic or meta-analysis review to provide quantitative weed control efficacy information of these practices. To provide a systematic understanding of weed control practices in nursery production, a visualization research trend, a systematic review, and a meta-analysis were conducted. A total of 267 relevant studies were included for the research trend and 83 were included in the meta-analysis. The results in this study showed that interests in nursery weed control have switched dramatically in the past 2–3 decades (1995–2021) from chemical dominant weed control to chemical coexistent with non-chemical techniques. Developing new management tactics and implementing diverse combinations of integrated weed management present the future trend for weed control. The systematic review results showed that chemical methods had the highest weed control efficacy, while non-chemical had the lowest on average, nonetheless, all three weed control practices (chemical, non-chemical, and combined) reduced the weed biomass and density significantly compared with when no strategy was employed. Weed control challenges could be the catalyst for the development of new non-chemical and integrated weed control techniques.

Weeds are an important issue in oil palm cultivation, and weed control systems are an important factor in increasing oil palm growth and production. Mixing herbicides with natural ingredients will be an alternative technique in controlling a wide spectrum of weeds in oil palm plantations. This study aims to determine the best concentration of mixing cocoa pulp water with the herbicide glyphosate in weed control in oil palm plantations. This research used experimental method of randomized block factorial design pattern with 3 repetitions. Of the fermented (L1) and non-fermented cocoa pulp water with concentrations of 75 mL (K1), 150 mL (K2), and 300 mL (K3), each of which was added with 1 mL/L glyphosate (G1). The control was 2 mL glyphosate (G2), so that the present study had 8 treatments. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey's post-hoc test with significant level of 95% to know the real difference between treatments. The results show that the combination of unfermented cocoa pulp water with glyphosate has a significant effect on weed death in oil palm plantations. The combination treatment of 150 mL of cocoa pulp water without fermentation with 1 mL of glyphosate (K2G1) has the highest potential to kill weeds up to 87.94% (34.41% higher than the 2 mL glyphosate treatment) at the 4 th week after application. Mixing unfermented cocoa pulp water with glyphosate (lower than recommended concentration) is effective in controlling weeds in oil palm plantations.
