INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE SUGARCANE PRODUCTION – A REVIEW

Abstract


The review will study the significance of Integrated Weed Management (IWM) in Pakistan for the sustainable production of sugarcane. The use of herbicides in conventional weed management methods presents problems such as herbicide resistance and environmental damage. IWM provides a broad strategy that gives preference to mechanical (hand-pulling, hoeing) and cultural (cover cropping, crop rotation) non-chemical weed-suppression techniques. This encourages a more balanced ecology and lessens the need for herbicides. IWM techniques that improve soil health, nutrient availability, and water retention include cover crops and minimum tillage. Furthermore, IWM promotes pollinators that are essential to the seed establishment of sugarcane and natural predators of weeds, both of which enhance biodiversity.
