Effects of Crop Diversity on Agroecosystem Function: Crop Yield Response (2008, background): “Crop diversity could influence weed biomass or composition by increasing the prevalence of stress and mortality factors that affect weeds or by changing resource use by crops and weeds such that crops preempt resources used by weeds (Liebman and Gallandt 1997; Liebman and Staver 2001).”
Are many little hammers effective? Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti) population dynamics in two- and four-year crop rotation systems (2005, background): “…interest is that this set of mathematical relationships both demonstrates and provides an explanation for the observation that crop rotation represents an extremely effective means of controlling weeds, while reducing requirements for herbicide inputs (Leighty 1938; Liebman and Staver 2001).”
Agronomic and Economic Performance Characteristics of Conventional and Low-External-Input Cropping Systems in the Central Corn Belt (2008, background): “Weeds may be controlled in LEI systems by combining cultivation with low levels of herbicides within diverse crop sequences that challenge weeds with a broad range of stress and mortality factors (Buhler et al., 1992; Mulder and Doll, 1993; Liebman and Staver, 2001).”
Ongoing Development of Integrated Weed Management Systems on the Canadian Prairies (2008, background): “Monoculture cropping facilitates an increase in weed species that are able to effectively compete with that crop or that are able to overcome competition through some avoidance mechanism (Liebman and Staver 2001).”
Integrating measurements of seed availability and removal to estimate weed seed losses due to predation (2006, background): “Diversified crop-rotation systems, such as the 4-yr crop rotation system used above, can represent an effective means of controlling weeds, reducing requirements for herbicide inputs (Leighty 1938; Liebman and Staver 2001).”
Biodiversity Regulation of Ecosystem Services (2005, background): “Numerous studies indicate that increasing crop species richness commonly decreases the severity of weed infestations (Liebman and Staver 2001).”
Stacked Crop Rotations Exploit Weed-Weed Competition for Sustainable Weed Management (2014, background): “From an ecological perspective, the effectiveness of rotating crops stems from the fact that dissimilar crops have different ecological niches and impose diverse stresses and mortality factors, reducing the ability of weed communities to adapt and populations to expand (Liebman and Staver 2001).”
