This article addresses some of that--weeds are worst at some times, not so
bad at others. The list is pretty small, and if this represents the extent of
the research, more's the pity.
It would be nice to favor a weed that doesn't go to seed and doesn't spread
vegetatively. But of course, that's not really a weed...
