Abstract

Weeds are serious pest in crop production in the Caribbean accounting for a major portion of the capital and labour cost. Control has been characterized by heavy inputs and mis-use of herbicides in a fragile ecosystem. This paper attempts to examine the use of Integrated Weed Management (IWM) as an agroecosystem approach for the management and control of three noxious weeds - corn grass (Rottboella cochinchinensis), white-top (Parthenium hysterophous), and nut grass (Cyperus rotundas), as an appropriate control strategy within the context of sustainable agriculture in the Caribbean.
