As we are starting another tobacco season, it’s crucial to keep an eye on weeds that can weaken tobacco crops.
Throughout the growing season, weeds can exert substantial effects on crop growth, yield, and quality through various mechanisms. Weeds compete with crops for crucial resources such as water, nutrients, and sunlight, ultimately diminishing crop vigor and resulting in yield losses. Furthermore, weeds can function as hosts for pests, heightening the probability of infestations and infections in crops. Moreover, specific weed species can also act as reservoirs for viruses, which can significantly impair tobacco yield. Please follow this link for more information.
