Field bindweed is a perennial herb with rhizomes belonging to the family of twining plants (Convolvulaceae). It propagates from the seed or vegetatively (from buds formed in the root whose cuttings have a great capacity of regeneration). Field bindweed is distributed all over the world. Due to its dual propagation this plant is classified into group of very noxious and resistant weeds. As herbicides are not powerful enough in this weed control it is recomended to apply combined chemical and mechanical measures. The present study analyses the effect of primary tillage, crop rotation and crop density on the distribution of this weed species in the maize crop. Satisfactory results in the improvement of the crop status and this perennial species control can be achieved within the integrated weed management system, which means a particular field cropping system.
