Description of Tested Tactic
Mowing with brush (several treatments); Blade weeder + mowing with brush (several treatments).
Two integrated mechanical approaches, integrated mowing (mower and brush or disc) and integrated tillage (blade weeder and integrated mowing), were compared with the standard herbicide system in a 2-year trial.
Description of Reference System
Herbicide glyphosate (2 times)
a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was laid out with three blocks and three treatments : (1) Integrated mowing (mower with polypropylene brush mounted on a horizontal axis or disc, Falconero Group S.R.L company, Faenza, Italy), (2) Integrated tillage (single blade weeder, mounted on Kubota M5091 tractor, ID-David S.L.U. company, Murcia, Spain, and integrated mowing), and (3) Herbicide (mixing 1 L glyphosate with 100 L of water, for 0.25 ha, with a total applied dose of 4.0 L/ha, where the amount of acid equivalent was 1.4 kg/ha).
