No-till systems have been widely adopted by farmers in Australia over
the past many years to reduce soil erosion, improve soil physical and
chemical properties, conserve soil moisture and save on fuel costs.
These changes in tillage practices can have a major influence on the
ecology and management of weeds. This book provides information on the
seed biology of important Australian weed species and underpinning
knowledge of their response to tillage systems. There is also
information on the effect of no-till on weed seedling emergence, seed
bank persistence and herbicide behaviour.
