There were not sygnificant differnces among the crop rotation links.ConclusionsThe number of weeds in the fields of crop rotation in organic farming systems is dependent oncultivated crops, the succession of crops in the crop rotation links and crop cultivationtechnologies.We agree with opinion of researchers who indicated that weed infestation is the major cropprotection problem in organic farming systems, and the development of weed managementstrategies requires detailed information on weed population dynamics. Therefore, long termresearch is necessary to analyse this problem accurately.The investigations will be continued at least up to the end of a rotation period.References1. Albrecht H.
