The methods of weed control in pear plantation

Abstract

The weed control in the pear plantation is necessary to ensure a good yield and fruit quality. Herbicides present an effective method of weed control in the orchard. A modem approach to weed control implies a reduction in the use of Chemicals and the application of the alternative weed control methods, independently or combined. Classical mechanical methods (mowing, hoeing, manual removal, etc.) are the "traditional" methods for weed control. The more and more frequently applied non-chemical methods are the use of mulch, heat sources, water and the precise control (robots, drones, etc.). The main advantage of non-chemical methods is their environmental friendliness and sustainability.
