As there have been several developments in weed management, FAO has updates the available information in this new publications on improved weed management. The paper comprises three chapters that contain valuable information in weed bioecology, problem weeds and details of various control strategies. Weed management should match the specific problems in a field and. therefore, some basic knowledge of weed bioecology is needed to manage weed infestation correctly in the field. The first chapter of the book describes the protocol for assessing the weed seed bank and illustrates the basics of weed competition. It also introduces the topic of weed risk assessment and provides guidelines for countries to strenghten their own quarantine protocols. The second chapter covers some troublesome weed problems in different areas, including water hyacinth. The final cha pter is devoted to teh presentation and discussion of various control strategies for improved weed management.

Book (stand-alone)Handbook on the integrated crop management of green gram and chickpea for farmer field schools in central dry zone of Myanmar 2022
Also available in:
This curriculum briefly outlines Integrated pest management (IPM) for these selected crops, green gram, and chickpea. The general concept of IPM is the same for these crops, although the insect pests, diseases and weeds differ from one crop to another. The name of pests are listed for information, and important messages that are unique to Myanmar's situation is briefed if necessary, rather than giving a detailed account of morphology, biology, ecology and management, which can be readily available in published literature. It aims to improve farmers' knowledge of the pests, including insects, plant diseases, weeds and rodents causing the reduction in the yield of field crops and how to manage the crops to boost crop production without deteriorating environmental resources for sustainable agriculture.
