The use of herbicides has been called into question due to their impact on health and the environment. Physical weeding solutions are an alternative which are still rarely used in Belgium. Agriculture and the regional context in which it develops has an impact on farmers' ability to integrate physical weeding tools into their crop management practices. Literature. External or internal factors related to farms can help explain the limited use of alternatives to chemical weeding. Soil characteristics, particularly clay content, surface stone load and the presence of slopes, all have an impact on the feasibility of using mechanical weeding tools that interact with the soil. Climate is also a limiting factor, as it reduces the time windows available for successful weeding operations. Intrinsic characteristics of farms, such as crop rotation, farm size, labour structure, and profitability, also help explain the potential for introducing physical weeding in Wallonia. Conclusion. Wallonia presents opportunities for the deployment of physical weed control solutions. Its potential expressed in terms of suitable agricultural area is estimated at 42% of the usable agricultural land, mainly concentrated in the Limoneuse and Sablo-limoneuse agricultural regions. The climate is an obstacle to the widespread use of physical weed control in Wallonia. Regardless of the agricultural region, it can be observed that the number of available days for successful physical weeding is zero in some years. A more s
