Opis

Durum wheat(Triticum durum) is a strategic crop in Mediterranean regions, particularly for the production of semolina and pasta. However, its productivity is threatened by weeds, which compete directly with the crop for water, light and nutrients, resulting in yield losses and degraded grain quality. The use of chemical weedkillers, although widespread, has its limitations in terms of resistance and environmental impact. The aim of this document is to analyze the impact of weeds on durum wheat and propose integrated management strategies to ensure sustainable, competitive production.
