Three on-farm research-managed trials were conducted in Settat province, Chaouia, semi-arid Morocco, from 2012-13 to 2014-15, to investigate the dynamics of germinable soil seedbank, weed density, and community composition of weeds in 3 crop rotations: continuous durum wheat, barley + pea/durum wheat/durum wheat, and canola/durum wheat/durum wheat. Initial germinable weed seedbank density estimated in September 2012, before no-till planting in November 2012 was 1890 seeds m-2. After two growing seasons, seedbank reductions were 23% in continuous durum wheat, 68% in canola/durum wheat/durum wheat, and 72% in barley + pea/durum wheat/durum wheat. In continuous durum wheat, weed densities before no-till planting were 273, 46, and 59 plants m-2 in November 2012, December 2013, and November 2014, respectively. In herbicide-free barley + pea/durum wheat/durum wheat, weed densities before no-till planting durum wheat were 128 and 42 plants m-2 in December 2013 and November 2014, respectively. In canola/durum wheat/durum wheat, weed densities before no-till planting wheat were only 20 and 25 plants m-2 in December 2013 and November 2014, respectively. This study demonstrated the combined merits of pre-plant glyphosate, herbicide use in wheat, herbicide-free barley + pea haying, and durum wheat rotation with either canola or barley + pea to manage weeds in no-till systems in semi-arid Morocco.
