On July 1st, Lorenzo Gagliardi from the UNIPI team of the Oper8 project attended the 20th European Weed Research Society (EWRS) Symposium, titled “Joint approaches for sustainable weed management”, held in Lleida (Catalonia, Spain).
In Section 5: Non-chemical Weed Control Tools, Lorenzo gave an oral presentation on the scientific literature review conducted within the Oper8 project, titled “Alternative methods to herbicides for weed control: a systematic literature review”.
The aim of this review is to inform the scientific community about which alternative weed control techniques have been studied more extensively and which remain underexplored, in order to identify knowledge gaps and better guide future research efforts toward promoting the adoption of Integrated Weed Management (IWM).
During the presentation, Lorenzo explained the methodology used for the literature screening and presented the preliminary results of the review.
