Abstract

An essay of the weed control on ecological agriculture has been carried out. Three different cover managements have been tested: fresh plants of Vicia sativa, distil plant residues from aromatic plants and barley straw, on the tillage of an aromatic and medicinal plant from Castilla La Macha Province: Rosmarinus officcinalis L. All the cover managements were found to reduce weeds in all the tested tillage, although the barley straw cover showed to be the most efficient one. This type of covers used as weed control could be considered as an effective alternative to the use of herbicides.
