Abstract
This study demonstrated that different soil tillage methods and fertilization sources affect durum wheat
production and weeds biomass. Although the durum wheat performed better under conventional tilled
soil by means of plowing, the need of the adoption of sustainable agronomical practices such as reduced
tillage practices should be stimulated for environmental issues. Therefore, further studies should be
addressed to evaluate the weed characteristics and their competition effects to avoid severe yield loss and
support environmental-friendly practices. Moreover, detailed studies regarding organic fertilization
application should be conduct because the methods and time of application can be relevant for the crop
performance.
