Weed management does not consist solely in the use of herbicides: other methods exist. The paper emphasizes the importance of evaluating weed ecology in understanding weed problems, the need to evaluate seed banks in the soil, the importance of evaluating weed competition and the ability of crops to compete with weeds. Also covered are troublesome weed problems including water hyacinth, and the risks and benefits of using transgenic herbicide-resistant crops.
