The influence of integrated crop-livestock systems on weed biomass and species composition

Abstract
Integrated crop-livestock systems represent a
promising approach to sustainable agriculture by integrating crop production
with livestock grazing. Weed management is a critical aspect of agricultural
sustainability, and understanding how integrated systems affect weed dynamics
is essential for optimizing weed control strategies. This comprehensive review
synthesizes current knowledge on the impact of integrated crop-livestock
systems on weed biomass and species composition. Drawing from a wide range of
studies, we explore the complex interactions between crops, livestock, and
weeds, highlighting the factors influencing weed dynamics in integrated
systems. Our analysis underscores the potential of integrated systems to
suppress weed growth and promote desirable species through crop diversification
and targeted grazing. However, we also discuss the challenges and uncertainties
associated with implementing integrated systems and suggest avenues for future
research to enhance our understanding of sustainable weed management in
agricultural landscapes.
