Weed management in flood control facilities is important to maintain water flow and protect infrastructure. There are various types of weeds including emergent, terrestrial, and floating weeds that require different control tools. Regulatory constraints include NPDES permits that limit chemical use and injunctions protecting habitats. A 2003 cost and water quality study compared manual, mechanical, chemical, and goat grazing techniques, measuring control costs and water quality impacts. It found that while mechanical techniques were expensive and required annual use, goat grazing worked well with minimal water quality impacts. Using chemicals followed by mechanical methods was the most cost effective approach with minimal risk to aquatic environments from pesticides.

Aquatic weeds. classification, characterspptx.pptx1
Aquatic weeds can provide benefits like producing oxygen, serving as a food source, and absorbing pollutants, but they also pose disadvantages when present in fish ponds. The main disadvantages are blocking sunlight needed for plankton growth and fish health, producing carbon dioxide at night which lowers oxygen, decomposing and releasing harmful gases, providing habitat for fish predators, taking up space needed for fish movement, and interfering with netting operations. Weeds are classified by their habitat as marginal, free-floating, submerged, or emergent, with examples like typha, pistia, vallisneria, and lotus respectively.
2.weeds and weeds classification By Allah Dad Khan
There are over 30,000 weed species worldwide that can be classified in various ways. Weeds can be classified based on their life span as annual, biennial, or perennial. They can also be classified based on their root system as shallow rooted or deep rooted perennials. Other classifications include how they reproduce, their place of occurrence, the nature of their stem, their origin, and more. Classifying weeds allows for adopting targeted weed management methods for particular weed groups.
Control of aquatic weeds
This document discusses various methods for controlling aquatic weeds in freshwater fish ponds and water bodies. It describes how aquatic weeds compete with fish for oxygen and food, providing habitat for predators. Free-floating weeds can be removed by hand-picking or netting and then burning to eliminate seeds. Emergent and submerged weeds with roots are harder to remove but can be controlled using weed harvesters, chemicals like paraquate and ammonia, or biological controls like introducing grass carp that eat the weeds. Algal blooms also need to be controlled as they can smother fish and deplete oxygen. Proper pond maintenance helps prevent issues with aquatic weeds and algae.
Carlos ghosn in Japan
Carlos Ghosn led turnarounds of both Renault and Nissan after being appointed their CEO. When he joined Nissan in 1999 as COO, the company was struggling with high debt, weak products, and lack of coordination. He cut over 20,000 jobs, closed a plant, and reduced debt. By 2001 when he became CEO, net profits had climbed to $2.7 billion from a loss of $6 billion. Ghosn emphasized respect for Japanese culture, transparency, communication, and encouraging innovation to successfully lead the companies' transformations. His success earned him the nicknames "Mr. Fix It" and "le cost killer."
Cultural weed control
Cultural weed control uses non-chemical crop management practices like crop variety selection, tillage, fertilizer application, planting density, mulching, crop rotation, intercropping, and water management to suppress weeds. These practices create favorable conditions for crop growth and competition against weeds. While cultural methods alone cannot eliminate all weeds, they can significantly reduce weed populations as part of an integrated weed management approach. Common cultural practices include tilling to expose weed roots and seeds to the sun, keeping fields and irrigation channels free of weeds, using fast-growing crops that form a dense canopy to shade weeds, and flooding fields to prevent weed germination.
25 apwss 2015_hydrogel_presentation
This document discusses potential future solutions for managing aquatic weeds based on experiences in Australia and New Zealand. It describes how aquatic plants can be both useful and problematic in overgrowth. Common aquatic weeds and reasons for controlling them are outlined. Methods for control include various herbicides as well as mechanical and physical removal techniques. Case studies demonstrate successful control of specific weeds like Egeria, Cabomba, and Hydrilla using herbicides in hydrogel formulations or whole lake treatments. Overall, herbicides are seen as useful when applied correctly by experts, but all aquatic weed control requires a tailored approach.
Beneficial and Harmful effects of weeds under aquatic ecosystem
Aquatic weeds can have both beneficial and harmful effects in water bodies. The most problematic weed in India is water hyacinth, which spreads rapidly and blocks streams, reducing water flow and irrigation efficiency. Excessive growth of weeds also prevents boat traffic and can increase organic content and eutrophication. However, weeds also provide food and habitat for fish, can absorb pollutants from industries, and have uses as animal feed, in biogas production, crafts, and organic fertilizer. Some weeds help nutrient removal or have medicinal properties.
Deliberate and emergent_strategy
There are two types of strategies: deliberate and emergent. Deliberate strategies are predictable and planned, while emergent strategies develop organically through collective action and learning. An organization's strategies can range from purely deliberate to purely emergent depending on factors like environmental stability and management's level of control. Effective strategic management often involves elements of both deliberate and emergent strategies.
