Economic analysis of weed control in transplanted cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata)

Aboveground weed biomass, species density and cabbage yield were influenced by applied weed management treatments. Significantly lower biomass and species density were recorded on plots with mechanical cultivation 3 weeks after transplanting. Post- emergence chemical application did not manage to control late emerging weeds, particularly summer annuals. Organic mulch also failed to protect transplanted cabbage from weeds, particularly allowing grass weeds to develop above the straw layer. The most effective method for transplanted cabbage in highly infested north Croatian fields was mechanical cultivation which had the highest yield and the only positive net return.
