Summary:The Special Issue “Weed Ecology and New Approaches for Management” contains 14 original research articles and 1 review article covering topics related to the biology and damage of weeds, especially related to the health and yielding of crops and the biodiversity of segetal weeds, as well as integrated methods of weed control and herbicide resistance. Several articles have shown that crop species and habitat conditions significantly affect the abundance and botanical composition of the associated flora (segetal weeds) [4,5,9]. [...]it was found that the effectiveness of the use of plant protection products in wheat cultivation depended on the cultivar [10]. Biodiversity of Weeds and Tillage Systems During the period of the intensive development of conventional agriculture, human activity was directed mainly at the elimination of undesirable flora in crops, therefore many weed species are now threatened with extinction. Farmers on organic farms are also allowed to use biostimulants, organic foliar fertilizers which can increase the resistance of cultivated plants to stressful conditions, improve the health of plants and even reduce weed infestation [22], as can be seen from the use of Herbagreen Basic and Bio-algeen, which reduced the infestation chamomile by pathogens and reduced the number and increased biodiversity of weeds [11].
