Weed suppressive ability of cover crop mixtures compared to repeated stubble tillage and glyphosate treatments

Mechanical, chemical and biological treatments

Weed fallow without weed management

Flat/deep/turning soil tillage, cover crops, glyphosate dose/nr. sprays

Two experimental trials were conducted in Southwestern Germany including seven weed management treatments: flat soil tillage, deep soil tillage, ploughing, single glyphosate application, dual glyphosate application, and a CC mixture sown in a mulch-till and no-till system. This study aims at estimating the ability of selected biological, mechanical, and chemical weed control practices on weed suppression before spring cropping.
