Description

Information sheet 1.13: Crop rotation, associations and density, weed/volunteer control

The measures in this document deal with (1) allocation of crops to field (over time and space) (multi-crop, diversity cropping) and (2) to control weeds and volunteers as hosts of pests/vectors. Crop rotation, associations and density, weed/volunteer control are used to prevent problems related to pests and are usually applied in various combinations to make the habitat less favourable for pests.

This information sheet is a supporting document to Appendix A (‘Standardised checklist of risk reduction options’) of the Guidance of the EFSA Plant Health Panel on quantitative pest risk assessment.
