Intensive cropping influences the success of seed dormancy breaking methods in Australian collected <scp><i>Hordeum</i></scp>, <scp><i>Avena</i></scp>, and <scp><i>Bromus sp.</i></scp>
Weeds in managed fields develop greater seed dormancy, likely as an adaptive response to agricultural practices. Techniques such as tillage, which incorporate seeds deeper into the soil, may help mitigate seed dormancy traits by reducing light exposure. These findings highlight the importance of dormancy management in controlling persistent weed populations. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
