Involves physically removing or killing weeds using equipment or tools. Used before planting or between rows after crops have begun to grow.

Employs natural enemies of weeds, such as insects or pathogens, to control weed populations. Best used in specific environments where natural predators can be introduced without harm to the ecosystem.

Implements farming practices that enhance crop competition against weeds. Often used throughout the crop cycle to prevent weed establishment and growth.

Uses heat to kill or damage weed tissues. Methods such as flaming can be utilized before planting or along the crop rows, being careful not to harm the crops.

Uses herbicides to kill or inhibit weed growth. Applied before or after weed emergence, depending on the herbicide type.

Involves applying a layer of material on the soil surface to suppress weed growth by blocking sunlight. Can be used in both pre-planting and established crops with organic or inorganic materials.

Utilizes advanced technology such as GPS and robotics to target specific areas for weed control, reducing herbicide use and preserving the rest of the field.

Uses plants that release chemicals into the environment to suppress other plant growth, including weeds. Can be achieved through crop selection and rotating allelopathic crops.

Combines several control strategies to manage weeds effectively and sustainably. IWM is used for long-term weed control and relies on regular monitoring and a flexible approach.
