The effect of herbicides on the infestation of winter wheat crops

Abstract Weed vegetation is a serious competitor to cultivated plants. Weed vegetation spends important elements and moisture on its vital activity, thereby reducing the yield. Weed control is an important element of the cultivation technology of any agricultural crop. Winter wheat is the main important crop in the South of Russia, the yield of which affects the quality of life of the population. The use of herbicides is the basis of protective measures against weeds. Modern trends in the development of the agro-industrial complex recommend a reduction in pesticide treatments, however, there is no other alternative for weed control. Our research is aimed at studying the biological effectiveness of herbicidal treatments and their effect on the development of weeds.
