Weeds in fields with contrasting conventional and genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops. II. Effects on individual species
Abstract: We compared the effects of the management of genetically modified herbicide-tolerant (GMHT) and conventional beet, maize and spring oilseed rape on 12 weed species. We sampled the seedbank before and after cropping. During the season we counted plants and measured seed rain and biomass. Ratios of densities were used to calculate emergence, survival, reproduction …
