Abstract

Weeds are one of the problems which more economic costs originates in forest nurseries due to their effect on crop growth. In spite of this, the effect of weeds on forest seedlings and their control in the nursery have not been much studied. In this study we have analysed the ability of five herbicides (Pendimethalin, Propizamide, Napropamide, Oxyflurofen and Simazine) in controlling weeds and their possible harmful effect on two Pinus species (Pinus halepensis, P. nigra ) and Quercus ilex in the nursery. Pendimethalin and Propizamide damaged seriously all tree species while Napropamide and Oxyflourfen did not produce any harmful effect and did not control effectively weeds. Simazine controlled weeds not affecting tree seedlings although it had to be applied periodically to mantain its effect on weeds.
