Supporting evidence — 6 representative gaps

• Varietal Effects on Winter Wheat Competitiveness in the Steppe Region of Ukraine (2026) · Environmental Research Engineering and Management · doi

  Future research should focus on identifying the phys- iological mechanisms of competitiveness at the bio- chemical and molecular levels, as well as on evaluating the long-term effects of competitive cultivars on weed population dynamics and soil biological activity under different farming systems.

• Emerging Perspectives on Non-Chemical Weed Management Tactics in Container Ornamental Production in the United States (2024) · Horticulturae · cited 4× · doi

  Most research focuses on weed competition in agronomic crops and limited research has been conducted on weed competition in container-grown ornamental plants. In addition, limited information is available on the effects of weed densities and container sizes on ornament–weed competition within containerized production and how the con- cepts of fertilizer placements (types and different depths) can be used efficiently to control weeds in containers without employing any herbicides on the ornamentals.
