Cultural techniques to control weeds in Conservation Agriculture systems
摘要
During their evolutionary path, plants have improved their ability to adapt to different environments. Identifying limiting factors (light, temperature, water, and nutrients) triggers responses that ensure maximum biological productivity with what is available. The intense competition for environmental resources has motivated plant species to develop different mechanisms to capture these resources for their preservation. The efficiency of these mechanisms can determine the survival and dominance of the species. In this way, species specialize in habitats favorable to their survival and maintenance of descendants for future generations. A group of species called weeds have specialized in occupying particular niches in agroecosystems.
