Seed bank depletion of wild oat and cleavers in integrated arable farming systems

摘要

In a field scale study seeds of Avena fatua and Galiun aparitte were introduced into plots and monitored through various phases of a seven-year rotation. Depletion of both species was considerable at over 60% in integrated and conventional wheat after beans. Seed of G. aparine declined more than seed of A.fatua in both systems.
