| Course description |
|
“Various damages caused by weeds and its control methods” Weeds not only deteriorate the crop yields and qualities, but also decline the outlook and landscape at road in other than agriculture. Addition to these harms, weed also causes a wide variety of problems everywhere people are living, such as rivers, railways and parks. In this class, firstly, characteristics of weed harm are reviewed, then, how to evaluate weed harm and how to set up the control plan will be explained. Subsequently, a control method such as chemical (herbicides, plant growth regulators), biological (cover plants, duck etc.), physical (cultivation, film multi etc.), practical (crop rotation, deep flooding water, etc.) and IWM (Integrated Weed Management) will be demonstrated. Finally, outline of herbicide resistant weed which increases in Japan recently and conservation tillage systems widely used in United States and Australia will also be explained from the viewpoint of weed control. |
| Expected Learning |
| To understand that weeds are a problem in every scene other than agriculture, and to learn various control methods of weeds. |

| Message from instructor(s) |
| In addition to agricultural production area, Weed has become a big concern in everywhere humans are living, such as parks, roads and rivers. However, most of people are not familiar with weeds. So, through taking this class, I hope that you will be deeply interested in weed. |
