Weed management in rhubarb (Rheum raponticum L.) in Poland and other countries

Abstract

The issue of weed control in rhubarb in Poland was presented and compared to the other countries. The ecological niche for weeds, floristic structure of weed communities and weed population dynamics in rhubarb plantings depend on different agrobiological factors. In Poland, rhubarb protection against weeds is based mainly on non-chemical methods. In most countries where rhubarb is cultivated in integrated weed control strategies herbicides are authorized and recommended. Depending on the country the active substances used in protection of rhubarb against weeds are: glyphosate, propyzamide, pendimethalin, metamitron, clopyralid and clomazone.

“…The organoleptic analysis was conducted by a team consisting of 11 people (7 women and 4 men aged [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] in the organoleptic evaluation laboratory in accordance with the EBC 13.13 method. Beer samples were giving chilled to 10°C, in plastic cups with a capacity of 250 mL in a random order early has coded.…”
