Abstract
Strategic deep-tillage (SDT) practices, including soil inversion (mouldboard ploughing), soil loosening (deep ripping), or soil mixing (rotary spading), disturb soil to a greater extent than crop sowing, addressing soil constraints (e.g., soil acidity, water repellence, or soil compaction). While not primarily intended for weed control, these practices influence weed demography and pre-emergent herbicide effectiveness. This research investigated SDT practices’ impact on weed dynamics and pre-emergent herbicide effectiveness in the first year post-amelioration under varied soil moisture and rainfall conditions.
