Several agricultural practices can be used to control weed population thus avoiding the use of herbicides. Tillage, fertilization and growth of a green manure are found among them. In the context of a mid-term experiment set up in an organic field in Gallecs (Barcelona), we analysed the effect of chisel vs mouldboard ploughing, application of fertilizer and growth of a green manure on the density of weeds and on composition of the weed community. We evaluated weed density and community composition in April 2012 (spelt crop), February 2013 (green manure cover) and May 2013 (chickpea crop) and also analysed the sources of variation of density for the most abundant species in all periods. Our results show that, under the cereal crop, mouldboard plough had a... |
