Abstract

Abstract This chapter describes some common and troublesome weeds in potato, and their management. Integrated weed management is discussed, which can be divided into three phases: seedbank management, minimization of seedling establishment, and reduction of weed-crop interference. It is suggested that management of weeds in potato should be performed within a larger integrated pest management context that considers the long-term impacts and profitability of control inputs and the consequence of failures. Growers are advised to always combine cultural, mechanical, and chemical methods of weed management with knowledge of weed biology in an integrated approach to manage weeds in potato successfully.
