Abstract

Summary:The aim of this paper is to show the need for developing plant population biology studies in order to improve weed management when traditional approaches in weed science have failed, as shown by recent reviews on herbicide resistance. It is also suggested that the usual weed definitions do not reflect the new aims of weed ecology. The results of studies on the genetic, demographic and spatial variability of weed populations and their regulation by pests and pathogens are reported, and are discussed in the specific case of clonal perennial species.
