Biology and Management of -An Emerging Weed Problem in No-Till Cropping Systems in Europe.

Recently, has become a problematic grass weed species in parts of Europe. It is most common in no-till cropping systems. The inherent tolerance to several selective grass weed herbicides is of serious concern to the successful management of in arable farming.

Dicotyledon Weed Quantification Algorithm for Selective Herbicide Application in Maize Crops.

The stricter legislation within the European Union for the regulation of herbicides that are prone to leaching causes a greater economic burden on the agricultural industry through taxation. Owing to the increased economic burden, research in reducing herbicide usage has been prompted. High-resolution images from digital cameras support the studying of plant characteristics.

Combining novel monitoring tools and precision application technologies for integrated high-tech crop protection in the future (a discussion document).

The possibility of combining novel monitoring techniques and precision spraying for crop protection in the future is discussed. A generic model for an innovative crop protection system has been used as a framework. This system will be able to monitor the entire cropping system and identify the presence of relevant pests, diseases and weeds online, and will be location specific.
