“…Dead plant material can form substrates for predator reproduction, and service crops may be used as a shelter for seed predators, decreasing the risk of being predated by other animals. Consistent preferences of seed predators for certain weed species indicates that seed predation may be another cause of the observed weed community shifts (Meiss et al, 2010).…”

“…Weed seed predation may increase with vegetation cover (Meiss et al, 2010). Vegetation cover changes the habitat for seed predators: it modifies light and temperature at the soil surface, affects soil characteristics and gives alternative food systems for predators (leaves, larvae).…”

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated a positive correlation between vegetative cover and weed seed predation rates [95][96][97][98]. Several previous studies have shown increased weed seed predation rates associated with leguminous cover crops [95][96][97], but the underlying reasons for this phenomenon remain unclear.…”

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated a positive correlation between vegetative cover and weed seed predation rates [95][96][97][98]. Several previous studies have shown increased weed seed predation rates associated with leguminous cover crops [95][96][97], but the underlying reasons for this phenomenon remain unclear. Disturbance caused by planting cover crops may be antagonistic to weed seed predation in organic ZT systems in temperate regions, because winter annual cover crops are typically sown at a time that may intersect with the peak activity of many important seed predators, particularly invertebrates [95].…”

“…Crop rotations with multiple years of alfalfa reduce herbicide-resistant giant ragweed emergence while maintaining a similar level of seed bank depletion as other crop rotations common to the midwestern United States (Goplen et al, 2017). Th e frequent harvests of alfalfa also reduce populations of annual weeds adapted to corn and soybean by reducing weed seed production and providing yearround ground cover favorable for insects, rodents, and fungi that consume weed seeds (Westerman et al, 2005;Meiss et al, 2010a;2010b). Incorporating wheat into crop rotations also provides weed control benefi ts by being planted earlier than corn and soybean and at greater plant densities in narrow rows, causing it to be more competitive with early emerging weeds (Swanton et al, 1999).…”
