Review of studies on crop-weed interactions reveals a lack of methodological standardization
EAGESTAD INRA; Intensive management practices have been conducted since the 1950's to reduce the impact of weed competition on crop production. It is now widely recognized that the intensive use of herbicides has led to air, water and soil pollution, as well as massive biodiversity loss. Several public policies have been implemented to reduce herbicide use. However, is it possible to reduce herbicides while keeping sustainable agricultural production? We addressed this question by reviewing studies investigating the relationship between crop yield, weeds and herbicides from 1970 to 2016. A query to Web of Science surprisingly showed a mere number of 54 articles. We considered methodological…
