Agricultural waste management of winter cover crops on weeds and soybean, under controlled conditions, in a greenhouse

Abstract

In order to meet the great need to increase agricultural yield associated with the research of healthy products, which do not cause problems for the environment, this study aims to investigate the influence of mass quantity on black oats, radish and hairy deer in the emergence and development of B. pilosa, S. rhombifolia and G. max. It was carried out in the greenhouse with 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 g of the studied weights. The weed and soybean seeds were sown and evaluated for 10 days to record their emergence. For the initial development of plants, five seedlings were transplanted, which evaluation occurred after 30 days. In general, increasing the amount of weight also increased the percentage inhibition of the weeds studied, but did not negatively influence the soybean. ESI (Emergence Speed Index) and ES (emergence speed) were negatively affected by the increase in weight, with the exception of soy ES. Weed mass was negatively influenced by cover crops, but did not cause problems for soybeans. Thus, the greatest amount of mass in relation to the winter cover crops studied was lower, being the infestation of these weeds without significant problems for the soybean. Finally, species may be recommended for further field studies as cover crops in large areas in the no-tillage system.
