Description of Tested Tactic
This article focuses on comparing the impact of crop rotation and long-term continuous cropping on species, taxonomic and functional diversity of weed communities and also aims to recall the contribution of crop rotation to protecting the yield and regulating weed abundance. In addition to the crop sequence, the plant protection against weeds versus no plant protection was also taken into account.
Description of Reference System
In this study, winter rye was the research subject and two experimental factors were investigated, each with two levels: a cropping system, comparing winter rye growing in crop rotation (CR) versus winter rye continuous cropping (CC) and the plant protection level, where the herbicide application (H+) was compared to the no plant protection treatment (H−).
