In agricultural systems, weed seedbanks provide insights into cropping and management history as well as potential weed problems. Seedbank management is an integral part of a long-term weed management system. In this article, we propose a framework for managing weed seedbanks by putting weed seedbanks into the context of populations and communities. Early in the plant invasion process, it is possible to eradicate or contain the weed species through intensive focused management. Weed populations that become established and pose unique or extreme problems should be managed using population-based strategies such as targeted removal or trap crops. Established weed populations that pose no specific problem should be managed as part of the weed community using a variety of strategies such as tillage, crop rotation, cover crops and mulches, soil solarization, and microorganisms.
