Observation of Weed Species, Frequency and Density in Common Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Fields of Diyarbakir, Turkey: A Case Study

Observation of Weed Species, Frequency and Density in Common Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Fields of Diyarbakir, Turkey: A Case Study

The weed species in the common barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)fields in the Diyarbakir were observed with this study. For thispurpose, 50 quadrats of 1m by 1m (1 m-2) were randomly placedand examined at each study site. In every set of the quadrat,frequency and density were observed throughout the croppingseason of 2015-2016. During the course of field study 72 weedspecies belonging to 21 families, 13 grasses, 59 broadleaveswere recorded. The common families were Asteraceae andPoaceae in the common barley fields. The encounter frequencyof weeds was determined by observing 80% wild mustard(Sinapis arvensis L., 80%), animated oat (Avena sterilis L.,63%), common wild oat(Avena fatua L., 54%), corn buttercup (Ranunculus arvensis L.,54%), corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L., 52%), creeping thistle(Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop., 51%), volunteer lentils (Lensculinaris Medik., 51%). Wild mustard, which had the highestfrequency was also the densest weed species (5.18 plant m-2),and other species such as animated oat (4.33 plant m-2),creeping thistle (1.77 plant m-2), common wild oat (1.72 plantm-2), corn buttercup (1.47 plant m-2), cleavers (1.38 plant m-2),corn poppy (1.22 plant m-2), volunteer lentils (1.07 plant m-2)were important species at all the observed fields. It wasobserved that the great infestation was shown by broadleafweeds due to the lack of effective weed control in the barleyareas.
