Santiago de Compostela – AGROSUS project is excited to announce the launch of a groundbreaking weed database, featuring detailed information on 117 weed species, including their herbicide resistance, herbicide treatments, and agroecological management strategies. This innovative tool is designed to support farmers, researchers, and policymakers in advancing sustainable agriculture and integrated weed management practices.
The database includes common names for each species across multiple regions and is available in 13 languages: English, Portuguese, Polish, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Romanian, German, Turkish, Icelandic, Estonian, and French. By providing multilingual access, AGROSUS aims to facilitate knowledge-sharing and improve weed management strategies across diverse agricultural landscapes.
To enhance its impact, the AGROSUS weed database is linked to key international initiatives, including Pl@ntNet, a collaborative plant identification platform, and WeedScience, a global resource on herbicide resistance. Additionally, AGROSUS aligns with its sister project, GOOD, further strengthening the network of sustainable agricultural research and innovation.
This initiative reflects AGROSUS’ commitment to promoting environmentally friendly weed control strategies and reducing reliance on chemical herbicides. By integrating scientific data with agroecological approaches, the platform provides a valuable resource for tackling weed management challenges in a changing climate.
