Different ground vegetation cover management systems to manage Cynodon dactylon in an irrigated vineyard

TESTED TACTIC

Cover crops

REFERENCE SYSTEM

UNTREATED

DESCRIPTION OF TESTED TACTIC

In this study, the effect of four different ground cover managements (M) in the inter-rows on C. dactylon population dynamics (changes in coverage and frequency) was assessed over three seasons (2015–2017): (M1) a no-till spontaneous vegetation ground cover managed by shredding; (M2) a no-till spontaneous vegetation ground cover managed by shredding plus herbicide application, (M3) tilled soil and spontaneous vegetation growing; and (M4) tilled soil and a barley cover crop seeded (Hordeum vulgare L.).
