摘要
Field studies were conducted in Lebanon to investigate the effect of solarization with/without cover crop green manure on weed population in subsequent planting of cabbage. Cover crops （alfalfa, barley, clover, lathrus and vetch） or crushed olive pulp were planted/added in i 8 m2 plots 75 days prior to planting cabbage. Crops and crushed olive pulps were ploughed under （CCGM） and then half the plots in each treatment were solarized （Biofumigation） by covering each plot with a clear polyethylene sheet for 40 days. Solarization with or without biofumigation significantly reduced weed population in subsequent cabbage planting as compared to nonsolarized CCGM or to the control. Solarization and biofumigation significantly increased fresh weight of cabbage as compared to the control and to nonsolarized CCGM treatments. Optimal weed control was observed in plots which were biofumigated with clover as a CCGM,
