Despite these benefits, these practices are not broadly adopted, partially due to perceived weed management challenges in conservation systems. This paper explores how a conservation system that uses cover crops and non-inversion tillage (chiselling) influences the weed flora abundance and evolution before cover crop termination and over a complete rotation cycle (sunflower\u2013winter wheat\u2013maize\u2013sunflower) in southeastern Romania when compared to conventional tillage (ploughing). Overall, the conservation system significantly reduced weed density by 31%, preserving a higher diversity and evenness (H\u2032 = 0.75, E = 0.46) by the end of the rotation cycle and an evenly distributed weed community compared to the conventional system, where the opportunistic species Veronica hederifolia exhibited dominance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su17136204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,7]],"date-time":"2025-07-07T06:03:13Z","timestamp":1751868193000},"page":"6204","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effects of Non-Inversion Tillage and Cover Crops on Weed Diversity and Density in Southeastern Romania"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"M\u0103d\u0103lin","family":"Radu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Moara Domneasc\u0103 Agricultural Research and Development Didactic Station, University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, 011464 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Soil Sciences Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, 011464 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7430-7457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ciprian","family":"Bolohan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Soil Sciences Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, 011464 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Costel","family":"Mihala\u0219cu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Moara Domneasc\u0103 Agricultural Research and Development Didactic Station, University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, 011464 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrei","family":"M\u0103ru\u021bescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Syngenta Crop Protection AG, 4058 Basel, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5099-0380","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Max John","family":"Newbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Syngenta Crop Protection AG, 4058 Basel, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5697-7078","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vasileios P.","family":"Vasileiadis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Syngenta Crop Protection AG, 4058 Basel, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Friedrich, T.
