Efficacy of Various Mechanical Weeding Methods—Single and in Combination—In Terms of Different Field Conditions and Weed Densities

Public awareness and environmental policies have increased interest in applying non-herbicide weed control methods conventional farming systems. Even though mechanical has been used for centuries agricultural practice, continuous developments—both terms of implements automation technologies—are continuously improving the potential outcomes. Current were evaluated their efficacy effects on yield against equivalent herbicide methods. Furthermore, not much is known about correlation between (WCE) different at varying density levels. A total six experiments winter wheat (2), peas soybean (2) carried out years 2018, 2019, 2020 southwestern Germany. Harrowing hoeing treatments speeds compared to untreated plots. Regarding average WCE, combination harrowing was both strongest (82%) most stable (74–100%) treatment Whereas, average, (72%) (71%) same WCE level, but (49–82%) more than (40–99%). The grain yields varied 4.1 Mg?ha?1 (control) 6.3 (harrow), pea 2.8 (hoe slow) 5.7 fast) 1.7 4 (herbicide). However, there no significant differences cases. results shown that it possible pinpoint a specific type as appropriate method this cultivation, across all circumstances. Different field weather conditions can heavily affect impact expected outcome, giving, each time, an advantage treatment.
