No-tillage method of weed management reduces weed density and diversity
A multi-site field study on organic vegetable farms across five European
countries assessed the efficacy of a no-till approach to weed management. An
in-line tillage/roller crimper machine (ILRC) was used to flatten a non-food
crop, known as an agroecological service crop (ASC), and to create a narrow
furrow in which to plant organic vegetables. Case studies have shown ILRC
methods to reduce weed abundance, and this larger-scale study sought to
determine if this is the case for different crops and climates across Europe.
