“…It is agreed that the physical disturbance of the soil caused by the tillage and residue management are crucial factors in the determination of the diversity of weed species in the agro‐ecosystem (Sosnoskie, Herms, & Cardina, 2006; Tuesca, Puricelli, & Papa, 2001). Soil tillage techniques (Aboudrare, Debaeke, Bouaziz, & Chekli, 2006; Riar et al., 2010), as weed control methods (Blackshaw, Larney, Lindwall, Watson, & Derksen, 2001; Rahman, 2017; Streit, Rieger, Stamp, & Richner, 2003; Tørresen & Skuterud, 2002), are of particular importance during the fallow period because more than 95% of seeds entering the seed bank in arable land come from annual weeds growing on the same land (Albrecht, 2005; Ekeleme, Akobundu, Isichei, & Chikoye, 2000). If we do not control weeds at the fallow stage, we need to rely on herbicides, and it will increase the probability of herbicide‐resistant and hard‐to‐kill weeds (Chauhan et al., 2012).…”
