“…Therefore, the germination of weed species is not affected by inhibitory substances in the soil environment. Although many authors point out the influence of technologies on the change in the infestation of field crops by weeds [45][46][47], our research results suggest that inhibitory substances in the soil environment should not be held responsible for that.…”

Reduced and soil-protective tillage technologies may represent certain negatives for cultivated crops associated with the biomass of mulch from intermediate crops and post-harvest residues. Sown crops, as well as field weeds, are exposed to impaired soil conditions. Soil conditions were assessed using biological tests. Eight plant species were chosen for the tests. Germination of tested plant species took place in controlled conditions in climaboxes. Seeds on Petri dishes were watered with soil leachates from three variants of tillage (Conventional, Minimum tillage, Direct sowing). Soil samples were collected from a 15-year field experiment. The soil leachates inhibited the germination rate of the chosen plant species. In the first term, all species exhibited a lower germination capacity in variants watered with the soil leachate. The reduced tillage technologies can apparently significantly slow down the germination rate in field crops and vegetables. Simple biological tests have the potential to assess the condition of arable soils.

“…If leguminous crops are among the catch crops, green fertilization enables nitrogen fixation [45]. Most studies analyzing the effects of growing crop systems on weed infestation are related to cereals, including maize [46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. Scientific attention has also been paid to evaluating the possibility of using reduced tillage for legumes, including soy [53][54][55][56], or oil crops such as rapeseed [57].…”

Sugar beet production is highly affected by weeds. The structure of crop rotation, the use of intercrops and different tillage techniques bring several benefits to sugar beet cultivation and create different living conditions for weeds. The response of weed communities in sugar beet stands has not been studied. The experimental plot is in the cadastral area of Ivanovice na Hané (Czech Republic). During an eight-year monitoring period (2013–2020), 46 weed species were identified. The dominant species was Chenopodium album. There were also summer and winter weeds. A more varied crop rotation increased the intensity of weed infestation, with winter weeds being the most common. On the contrary, a higher proportion of cereals in the crop structure favors the presence of summer weeds. The tillage technology and the inclusion of catch crops did not significantly affect the intensity of weed infestation in sugar beet stands or the spectrum of weed species. Current cropping technologies have driven the evolution of weeds. Due to their short life cycles and relatively simple genomes, weeds can respond very quickly to technological measures and, thus, change their harmfulness.

“…e use of natural products for controlling crop pests is a priority in modern organic farming. Recently, many studies have focused on assessing the herbicidal potential of plant extracts and essential oils (Bari & Kato-Noguchi, 2017;Campiglia et al, 2007;Chovancova et al, 2019;Frabboni et al, 2019;Haliniarz et al, 2020;Nikolova & Berkov, 2018;Synowiec et al, 2017;Synowiec & Nowicka-Połeć, 2016;Werrie et al, 2020). Some components of essential oils -such as carvacrol (a monoterpene phenol), thymol, α-and β-pinene, 1,8-cineole, borneol, limonene, and camphorhave a strong inhibitory activity on seed germination (Amri et al, 2013;Bendre et al, 2018;Dayan et al, 2012).…”

Essential oils from Monarda fistulosa L., Satureja pilosa Vel., Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum Ietswaart. (Greek oregano), Micromeria dalmatica Benth., Thymus longedentatus (Degen & Urum.) Ronniger, and Artemisa campestris L. were evaluated as inhibitors of seed germination in target plants Lolium perenne L. and Trifolium pratense L. using in vitro assays. The essential oils were applied on the seeds as aqueous solutions at concentrations ranging from 0.5–3.0 µL/mL. Complete inhibition was established at a concentration of 1.5 µL/mL with the most effective essential oils. Oregano oil was evaluated for its inhibitory activity on seed germination under field conditions; the essential oil was applied as an aqueous solution at concentrations of 3, 5, and 10 µL/mL on superabsorbent Terawet. The mass obtained was mixed with the seeds of the target plants and planted in a field. After 1 month, the results were evaluated based on the weight of the aerial parts of the plants from control and experimental areas. At the highest concentration studied, the weight of the plants was 77% lower in the experimental areas than in the controls. The chemical composition of the essential oils was analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The results showed that carvacrol-rich essential oils had a strong inhibitory effect on seed germination. The inclusion of the essential oil on a superabsorbent was a good way to preserve its herbicidal activity under field conditions as this prevented its rapid evaporation.
