- Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at the Experimental Station Krasne near Rzeszów in the years 2010-2012. The experiment was established in the split-plot design including the control treatment in 4 replications, on a soil classified as the good wheat complex. The aim of this study was to estimate and compare an effect of several methods of weed control, i.e. mechanical with harrowing , chemical (with the recommended and lowered dose of a herbicide) and combining both of those methods with a reduced dose of a herbicide on the state and degree of weed infestation of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) and common wheat (T. aestivum L.) cultivars, Harrowing of durum wheat and common wheat crops, combined with spraying with a dose of the herbicide Granstar Ultra SX 50 SG reduced by a half, limited weed infestation as effectively as the chemical method with the recommended dose of a herbicide. A good effectiveness of harrowing in weed control, including the predominant taxons Chenopodium album and Stellaria media, was obtained in both durum wheat and common wheat cultivars crops. Durum wheat cultivars Durobonus and Duroflavus proved to be less competitive in relation to weeds as compared with common wheat. A similar species composition was observed in the weed communities of tested cultivars, and differences concerned the amounts and air-dry weight of weed species.
