Abstract

Weeds and their management are being affected by warming of the earth and rise in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere. Evidence from the recent literature confirms that high carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will increase the growth of weeds particularly the C3 weeds. Warming on the other hand will support several weeds to expand their range and establish into new areas. Further, high levels of warming and CO2 may also have a negative effect on the efficacy of several herbicides. Under this situation, use of cultural and mechanical weed control will be important. No doubt, these and other nonchemical weed control methods can be integrated with herbicides to achieve effective control of weeds under changing climate.
