EFFICIENCY OF PLOWING SYSTEMS ON WEEDS DENSITY AND GROWTH IN BARE FALLOW UNDER DRY LAND FARMING IN NORTHERN IRAQ by A.M. Sultan

“…Also plowing at winter + spring gave agood weed control when compard with other treatments while duration time for weed sampls which had been taken from different treatments were unsignificant . Disk plow showed suppriority in weed control when was used at different time of plowing (winter,winter + spring,spring) which gave efficiency in weed control until 11 May.Therefor, it is desirable to use disk plow in winter + spring or in spring to get 100% weed control of narrow or broadleave from beginning to mid April.…”
