Description of Tested Tactic
This study presents a technique for establishing a permanent autoregulatory non-competitive plant community as an alternative to herbicide treatment.
Description of Reference System
In control plots with native species, the plant community developed from the soil seed bank and no seeds were sown. Two types of control plots were also established (weed control treated with the herbicide glyphosate and weedy control)
Control with herbicide treatment
