From rice-like plants to plants liking rice: A review of research on weeds and their management in African rice systems by Rodenburg, J., Tippe, D.E., Touré, A., Irakiza, R., Kayeke, J., Bastiaans, L.

“…Future research should invest more in developing integrated weed management strategies that achieve (1) reduced weed recruitment, (2) reduced weed seed bank sizes and (3) improved crop competitiveness and that are compatible with farmer's production resources, fairly independent of (agrochemical) industries and markets and benign to the environment and human health. We recommend research on parasitic weeds to focus on a further broadening of the range of currently available management options, with a particular focus on the role of soil fertility and more efficient fertiliser technologies that simultaneously improve crop productivity and quality. …”
