“…The application of any xenobiotic on soil can change the structure of a microbial community (Johnsen et al, 2001) and the magnitude of this influence depends both on soil properties as well as on specific characteristics of the microorganisms and the product applied (Vischetti et al, 2002;Yang et al, 2007). Microbial population may decrease (Macur et al, 2007), increase (Moreno et al, 2007) or even remain unaltered (Lupwayi et al, 2007) in response to an application of a herbicide.…”

Comparison of the load bearing capacity models for homogeneity of a Dystroferric Red-Latosol at 0-3 cm depth under native forest and in a coffee plantation submitted to different weed management systems According to Yang et al (2007) the weed control in an orchard citrus by mowing three times during the growing season could improve soil and mitigate negative effects of weeds on crops. In the study by Zhang et al (2006), it was observed that the first three passes of the tractor caused the largest increments in the mechanical resistance of the soil in the first 12cm depth.…”

“…Weed plants utilized as cover crops residues can be left on the soil surface similar to a cereal stubble mulch to protect against evaporations and erosion (Hillel, 1980;Faria et al, 1998). In a newly developed orchard, Yang et al (2007) observed that the application of herbicides and tillage favored soil erosion. Yang et al (2007) pointed out that chemical and mechanical methods are the dominant weed control practices in many production systems due to its effectiveness, but noted on the other hand, that weed presence during the rainy season prevented soil erosion.…”

“…Currently, the intensive use of herbicides for weed management is the most adopted practice in agriculture (Yang et al, 2007). Nowadays, glyphosate is the most important herbicide in the world, and it has been used for many years to control annual or perennial weeds, in many cropping systems (Faircloth et al, 2001;Blackshaw & Harker, 2002).…”
