Abstract

Weed infestation in the stand of milk thistle and infestation in sustainable crop rotation

Highlights

  • The cropping of milk thistle has several disadvantages: the first is its morphological characteristics, the second is that milk thistle has potential to become serious weed in arable land (Vereš and Týr, 2012)

  • We focused our study on milk thistle as a weed in the sustainable farming system within the crop rotation of maize for grain, pea for grain, durum wheat and milk thistle

Summary

Introduction

– milk thistle – grown as a medicinal plant in several countries, is considered as a weed in pastures and cereal crops and as an interesting plant for biomass production. Milk thistle is considered a weed in sowed annual legume pastures (Sulas et al, 2008), waste areas, cereal crops, decreasing wheat yields (Khan et al, 2009), and along roadsides (Karkanis et al, 2011). Zootechn., 18, 2015(4): 90–94 Štefan Týr: Weed infestation in the stand of milk thistle and infestation in sustainable crop rotation is used medicinally. Sowing occurs in autumn and spring, and row spacing is usually 0.40–0.75 m, with 0.20–0.30 m between plants in the row Nutrient requirements of this crop are low to moderate since it is adapted to poor quality soils and many different growing conditions. We focused our study on milk thistle as a weed in the sustainable farming system within the crop rotation of maize for grain, pea for grain, durum wheat and milk thistle
