abstract = "Herbicide application has long been considered the most efficient weed control method
in agricultural production worldwide. However, long-term use of agrochemicals has numerous
negative effects on crops and the environment. Bearing in mind these negative impacts, the EU
strategy for withdrawing many herbicides from use, and modern market demands for the production
of healthy and safe food, there is a need for developing new effective, sustainable, and ecological
weed control measures. To bring a fresh perspective on this topic, this paper aims to describe the most
important non-chemical weed control strategies, including ecological integrated weed management
(EIWM), limiting weed seed bank, site-specific weed management, mechanical weeding, mulching,
crop competitiveness, intercropping, subsidiary crops, green manure, and bioherbicides.",
