Abstract
In field experiment conducted in 1998–2000 the influence of conservation tillage on primary infestation of carrot was investigated. In experiment four cover crop mulches (Sinapis alba L., Vicia sativa L., Phacelia tanacetifolia B., Avena sativa L.) were applied. No-tillage cultivation system caused the significant increment of primary weed infestation in carrot in comparison with conventional tillage. Cover crop mulches reduced significantly the number of weeds before and after carrot emergence. The most of weeds stepped out on control objects. Among investigated cover crops a profitable effect on decrease of weed infestation had Phacelia tanacetifolia and Avena sativa mulches.
