Excursion of the DPG working group Herbology 2025
The 2025 meeting of the Herbology Working Group will again take place as an excursion under the motto “Integrated control of difficult-to-control weeds in cereals without Flufenacet”. This year we will be going to the Jens Heisrath experimental station (Rottweil, Baden-Württemberg) on 02./03.06.2025.
The excursion is intended to provide a platform for visiting the trial and discussing the topic of “Integrated weed control”. We would therefore also like to offer the opportunity for presentations and discussions in this context. For this purpose, we ask for the submission of short summaries (max. ½ page) on the basis of which we can put together a program. If we do not receive enough contributions, we reserve the right to dispense with this program item.

- Biology and ecology of weeds, integrated weed control, and related topics
- Scientific information exchange about all topics related to herbology
- Building networks not only with herbologists, but with colleagues of adjacent disciplines as well (like ecologists, geobotanists, vegetation specialist, conservationists, etc.)
- Hosting conferences beyond working group meetings (like the German Conference on Weed Biology and Weed Control, www.unkrauttagung.de)
- Excursions and fieldtrips to deepen special knowledge
- Herbicide resistance
- “New” weed species (neophyte invasive weeds, poisonous weeds, perennial weeds, previous known weeds with re-growing relevance)
- Weed mapping (occurrence and growing of weeds)
- Cultivation systems and weed infestation / integrated weed control
- Population and dispersions-dynamics / weed-ecology
- Biodiversity
- Weed control and environment
