Integrated Weed Management

Integrated Weed Management (IWM) is a strategic approach to controlling weeds by combining multiple methods to minimize their growth and impact. It includes practices like crop rotation, timely mowing, using resistant varieties, biological controls, and targeted herbicide use. The goal is to reduce reliance on any single method, lowering environmental impact and preventing weeds from becoming resistant. IWM promotes sustainable, effective weed control by working with natural processes and tailoring strategies to specific environments, helping farmers and land managers maintain healthy, productive land.
