Maize Weed infestation under intensive cropping practices

Abstract

Weediness are the permanent problem in the maize production and the herbicide application is a usual way for their control. After many years of such a technology, it is obvious that herbicide weed control in maize fields is insuficient and ecologically not safe. The increase of maize growing densities decrease a significantly a fresh weight, especially at summer whem maize stand is completed. According to the correlation analysis, the weed fresh weight was reduced by 374,8 g*m2 over the maize crop density increases.
