Weeds of No-Till Cropping Systems - Purdue University
The switch from conventional tillage to no-tillage cropping systems generally creates a
shift in weed species. Over time, small-seeded annual broadleaf weeds and perennial weeds
become more prevalent. This Web site displays information and images of common weeds found
in reduced and no-tillage cropping systems. Each weed is described by its scientific name,
life cycle, a mature image, an immature image, a unique feature image, and control
options.
