Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

StarStarStarStar

Methods of control include hand-picking, promoting a dense crop or turf canopy, and applying selective herbicides. Dandelions can outcompete crops for nutrients and water.

StarStarStarStar

Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri)

StarStarStarStar

Integrated control measures like crop rotation, timely herbicide application, and hand weeding are essential. It's a highly competitive weed reducing crop yields and causing severe infestations.

StarStarStarStar

Common Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia)

StarStarStarStar

Using pre-emergence herbicides, crop competition, and regular mowing can suppress ragweed. It causes significant losses in crop yield and is a major allergen for humans.

StarStarStarStar

Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense)

StarStarStarStar

Control methods include deep tillage to remove rhizomes, application of glyphosate, and crop rotation to break the lifecycle. It competes aggressively with crops and can be toxic to livestock.

StarStarStarStar

Crabgrass (Digitaria spp.)

StarStarStarStar

Mechanical removal, pre-emergent herbicides, and crop rotation can effectively control crabgrass. Infestations can reduce crop yield by competing for nutrients, light, and space.

StarStarStarStar

Herbicide Resistance

StarStarStarStar

Mitigation strategies include rotating herbicides with different modes of action, utilizing cover crops, and integrating non-chemical weed control methods. Resistance can lead to increased control costs and reduced crop yields.

StarStarStarStar

Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti)

StarStarStarStar

Control strategies include using cover crops, herbicides, and hand-removal. Velvetleaf can reduce crop yields due to its competitive nature for space, nutrients, and water.

StarStarStarStar

Integrated Weed Management (IWM)

StarStarStarStar

IWM involves combining cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods to control weed populations sustainably. It helps reduce the reliance on herbicides and minimizes environmental impacts.

StarStarStarStar

Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis)

StarStarStarStar

Control options include repeated cultivation, the use of systemic herbicides like glyphosate, and planting competitive cover crops. It can strangle crops and is hard to eradicate.

StarStarStarStar

Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli)

StarStarStarStar

Flooding fields, rotating crops, and using pre-emergence herbicides are control methods. This weed can lead to yield loss and acts as a host for pests and diseases.

StarStarStarStar

Nutsedge (Cyperus spp.)

StarStarStarStar

Control measures include drainage management, timely cultivation, and the use of herbicides like halosulfuron-methyl. Nutsedges can aggressively outcompete crops and are difficult to eradicate due to tubers.

StarStarStarStar

Giant Foxtail (Setaria faberi)

StarStarStarStar

Tillage, crop rotations, and post-emergent herbicides can effectively manage giant foxtail. It can cause lodging in corn and harbors pests such as the European corn borer.

StarStarStarStar

Allelopathy

StarStarStarStar

Using crops or cover crops that exert allelopathic effects can suppress weed growth naturally. This method reduces the need for herbicides but requires careful crop selection and management.

StarStarStarStar

Canada Thistle (Cirsium arvense)

StarStarStarStar

Application of systemic herbicides, repeated mowing or tilling, and promoting competitive crops are control strategies. It spreads quickly and reduces crop quality and yield.

StarStarStarStar

Lamb's Quarters (Chenopodium album)

StarStarStarStar

Control strategies include mulching, post-emergence herbicides, and hand-pulling. It competes with crops for resources and can host plant viruses and pests.
