Experiencia en el control de malas hierbas invasoras en Cataluña desde el punto de vista de su gestión. Revisión Bibliográfica

This document describes the experience in the control and eradication tasks of invasive weeds carried out in the crops of Catalonia since 2005, from its management point of view. The results allow to affirm that is a complex and not immediate process. Since avoiding the arrival of new plants is very difficult and expensive rapid detection and rapid action on introduced weeds are essential for success. This fact highlights the importance of having a good network of technicians all around the agricultural areas that transfer the information when a problem is detected; also having regulations that allow immediate action is essential. The invasion risk evaluation and the viability of weed control increases the likelihood of success in the eradication process and helps optimizing resources. The biological characters that have been observed as most important for the success of a new introduction are described. The criteria to Llenes et al. ITEA-Inf. Tec. Econ. Agrar.
