Abstract Studies of soil weed seed banks are of relatively recent origin considering their importance as sources of diversity and continued occupation of many types of habitats, including agroecosystems. The management of weed seed banks is based on knowledge and modification of the behavior of seeds within the soil seed bank matrix. The behavior of seeds defines the phenotypic composition of the floral community of a field. Selection and adaptation over time have led to the highly successful weed populations that exploit resources unused by crops. The weed species infesting agricultural seed banks are those populations that have found successful trait compromises within and between the five roles of seeds: dispersal and colonization, persistence, embryonic food supply, display of genetic diversity, and as a means of species multiplication. Diverse weed seed populations provide seed banks the opportunity to exploit any change in conditions to ensure their enduring survival and spread. The soil seed bank m...

Weed thresholds are an integral component of an integrated weed management system (IWM). In this paper we review the literature on weed thresholds and examine the theory and applicability of thresholds within the context of a systems approach to IWM. The development of empirical models describing single and multi-species thresholds are reviewed and discussed in terms of the magnitude of weed threshold values in various crops and the importance and limitations of the parameters used to calculate these values. Mechanistic weed threshold crop competition models are suggested as a means of overcoming some of the limitations of empirically based threshold models. A mechanistic approach to the development of weed threshold models is desirable since relative crop and weed responses to environmental factors, cultural practices and the dynamic nature of competition are considered. Guidelines for the application of weed thresholds within a cropping system are outlined.
