Abstract

Farmland weeds are an important part of farmland ecosystems. Research on farmland weeds is one of the major research fields in agricultural ecology. It is of great significance for achieving high yield, high quality and high efficiency in agriculture. In recent years, research on farmland weeds has focused on investigation of weed communities, research on weed seed banks, and research on weed control. These three research directions complement each other. Among them, the investigation work of weed communities and the research of weed seed banks are helpful for us to grasp the occurrence of farmland weeds more accurately and provide references for the control of farmland weeds. This article summarizes the research directions of farmland weeds in recent years (weed community investigation, weed seed bank, weed control) and the research methods used, provide reference value for the follow-up research work of farmland weeds, and provide theoretical support for promoting the development of rural ecological industry and building beautiful villages.
