Weed cover on undisturbed inter-rows was generally lower or equivalent to weed cover on rows.
Weed cover on inter-rows compacted by tractor wheels was always equivalent or higher than weed cover on rows.
The objectives were to investigate optimal treatments for reducing weed cover and the interaction between weed cover and shrub establishment.
Tilling in April reduced weed cover for four months, but thereafter had no overall effect.
Weed cover was evaluated using digital images and a custom made program.
However, weed cover did not predict alightment of T. trifolii or total noncolonizers.
The cuttings (15 and 30 m3/ha) did not lead to a change in total weed cover in either weed control system.
