Dynamics of soil seed bank of weeds depending on cultivating technologies of agricultural crops

Abstract

This article presents data on a comparative study of weeds’ soil seed bank during cultivation of agricultural crops by traditional and No-Till technologies in a crop rotation without fallow in the conditions of forest steppe of Western Siberia. It was found out that, in the case of direct seeding and with the use of herbicides, the reduction of weeds’ soil seed bank in the upper layer of the soil takes place in contrast to the traditional technology.
