. 2001. Tillage intensity and crop rotation affect weed community dynamics in a winter wheat cropping system. Can. J. Plant Sci. 81: 805-813. Development of improved weed management systems requires more knowledge on how various weed species respond to changing agronomic practices. A long-term study was conducted to determine weed population responses to various tillage intensities and crop rotations in a winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) dominated cropping system. Weed density and species composition differed with tillage, rotation, year, and date of sampling within years. Weed community dynamics were most affected by year-to-year differences in environmental conditions, followed by crop rotation, and then tillage intensity. and its use in canola resulted in an increase in these species in a winter wheat-canola rotation. Total weed densities were often greater in zero tillage than in either minimum or conventional tillage. Russian thistle, downy brome, kochia, and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) were associated with zero tillage while wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus L.), lamb's-quarters (Chenopodium album L.), flixweed, and wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.) were associated with conventional tillage. Perennials such as dandelion and perennial sowthistle (Sonchus arvensis L.) were associated with zero tillage but Canada thistle was associated with conventional tillage. Information will be utilized to implement more effective weed management programs in winter wheat production systems. . L'utilisation de cet herbicide dans les cultures de canola augmente la densité des peuplements de ces espèces dans l'assolement blé d'hiver-canola. En général, les adventices sont souvent plus nombreuses quand on ne travaille pas le sol que lorsqu'on le travaille un peu ou normalement. La soude roulante, B. tectorum, le kochia à balais et l'amarante racine rouge (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) affectionnent les champs non travaillés tandis que la vrillée bâtarde (Polygonum convolvulus L.), le chénopode blanc (Chenopodum album L.), le sisymbre sagesse et la moutarde sauvage (Sinapis arvensis L.) préfèrent les terrains remués de la manière habituelle. Les vivaces comme le pissenlit et le laiteron des champs (Sonchus arvensis L.) sont associés au non-travail du sol, mais le chardon des champs se retrouve là où on retourne la terre. Les données de l'étude serviront à élaborer des programmes de lutte contre les mauvaises herbes plus efficaces pour la production du blé d'hiver.
