Some individual weed species This Technical Information Note provides information about options for weed control in situations where chemicals are not to be used. It includes some detailed information which will be useful for those directly responsible for weed control, and interest to those developing performance specifications. Page 1| Other options for Weed Control | LI Technical Information Note 11/2019 1. Introduction The Landscape Institute is not currently taking a formal view on the desirability or otherwise of using chemicals to control weeds. The purpose of this Technical Note is to equip landscape professionals with information to help them appreciate and communicate some of the implications of not using chemical methods of weed control where weed control is required by clients without the use of chemicals. In approaching this subject, landscape practice in this area can be assisted by an understanding of: • soils, which not only influence what species grow well through their properties but are also a source of potential weeds • the reproductive cycle of plants and their reliance on vegetative spread, the relative speed of weed and desired plant growth during the year, the detailed effect the weeds may have on aesthetics, desired plant growth, or hazards (e.g. toxicity) and the ecology of weed species.
