Weed flora of cereals in different farming systems

Weed Biology and Weed Management in Organic Farming

Structure of weed communities occurring in crop rotation and monoculture of cereals

A strict field experiment with crops sown in crop rotation and monoculture wascarried out in the years 1988-2012 at the Experimental Station Uhrusk belonging tothe University of Life Sciences in Lublin, south-eastern Poland. The study wasaimed at evaluating the structure of weed communities occurring in crop rotationand monoculture of cereals. The highest weed density m-2 was determined inthe s...

Genetic Transformation of Triticeae Cereals for Molecular Farming

A rotation design to reduce weed density in organic farming

Weeds are a major obstacle to successful crop production in organic farming. Producers may be able to reduce inputs for weed management by designing rotations to disrupt population dynamics of weeds. Population-based management in conventional farming has reduced herbicide use by 50% because weed density declines in cropland across time. In this paper, we suggest a 9-year rotation comprised of ...

Quantitative Analysis of Weed Flora of Podravina Region (north Croatia)

The share of single species was expressed for the weed flora in the Podravina region, North Croatia. The analysis was based on standard phytosociological records according to Braun-Blanquet. Different types of crops were included, both row crops (maize, sugar beet, potato, vine, sunflower) and dense cereals such as wheat and barley. An analysis of 552 records was made, to find quantitative rela...
