Description of Tested Tactic
evaluation of biomass, and in situ weed control at 30days after termination (with two termination timings: T1 - headingphase and T2 - 10 days later) of 8 rye varieties; ii) a pot experi-ment, focused on the inhibition effect of mulches derived by 8 rye varieties on four summer weeds
The present study aims to: i) identify the best rye varieties for benzoxazinoids and isovitexin concentrations and production to improve sustainable weed control; ii) find the combination rye variety × termination timing that can exert the highest and lasting level of weed suppression.
Description of Reference System
four plots without rye were used as a control the vegetation was let to grow spontaneously
Plots without rye were used as a control.
