Weed infestation of spring barley grown after different previous crop

摘要

A field study was carried out between the years 2008-2009 at the Research Station Swadzim that belongs to Poznań University of Life Sciences. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of tillage system and previous crop on the changes ininfestation and species compositions in spring barley. As compared to the traditional tillage, direct drilling increased over 100% mass of weeds per unit area. Number of weeds was higher by 60% and more on the plots with direct drilling. There was significant influence of previous crop on number of weeds in spring barley. Number of weeds was 40% higher when spring barley was cultivated after fodder beet compared to the plots where spring barley was cultivated after maize. The dominance species were: Viola arvensis, Chenopodium album, Senecio vulgaris, Geranium pusillum, Anthemis arvensis, Matricaria maritima, Lycopsis arvensis, Brassica napus and Echinochloa crus-galli. There was no significant influence of previous crop on values of dominance index (C). Significant higher value were recorded on the treatments with spring barley cultivated with conventional tillage technology. Higher values of Shannon's biodiversity index (H) were obtained on the treatments where spring barley was cultivated in direct drill after maize crop and also after fodder beet crop when ploughing cultivation system was applied.
