Abstract
This study demonstrated that weed management represents a key factor for the adoption of alternative
soil tillage and fertilizer source as their adoption affect both commercial tuber of potato and weed
characteristics, in terms of density and biomass. The adoption of spading machine could be considered
as an alternative agronomical practice able to keep a satisfactory tuber yield and weed management.
Further studies should be performed to assess how each management practice can affect the weed
community composition to address farmer’s choice to sustainable approach for crop cultivation.
