Effect of crop rotations on the control of wild oat and other weeds in wheat in middle Egypt

Abstract: Two year and three year crop rotations were experimentally practiced in naturally soil infested with wild oat seeds at Mallawi research stations to study the effect of crop rotations with integration with some weed control treatments on both weed and wheat productivity.

Results indicated that cutting berseem performed well against weeds and in consequence wheat grain yield was attained. Crops sequence viz. berseem / berseem / wheat gave 100% control of grassy weeds either wild oat or canary grass and gave the highest grain yield as compared with the crop sequence of wheat / wheat / wheat which gave the lowest grain yield, may be due to the high density of both grassy and broad leaved weeds. The integration between crop sequence berseem / wheat / wheat and using Grasp at 2.38 L/ha supported with hand weeding once (70 DAS) was excellent in weed control especially grassy weeds and improving wheat productivity.
