Methods in cell biology and cell culturing science
Non Chemical Weed Control
Summary
The goal of the proposed course is to give an overview of modern /
non-chemical weed control in ecological (organic) farming system, to
exchange information on the current state of knowledge and experience in
weed control of ecological farming system, to improve the analytic skills
of young weed scientists and to activate professional contacts between
them.
The course will emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of modern weed
science integrating with plant science, crop ecology, agroecology and weed
control enginery. The programme of the course will include crop rotation;
thermal and physical weed control, law of field crop productivity, field
trips (with presentation of weed steaming machine), and preventive weed
control.
Course will include one month distance learning phase, which will
include individual studies of recommended literature, preparation of
presentation, suggested by course leaders, five days period of intensive
studies, group and individual presentations, work on case studies and
evaluation of students work results.
