Key Points

The study aims to quantify how crop rotation and tillage practices influence weed communities and cotton yield.
Field studies conducted at Harran University in Türkiye from 2021 to 2024.
Three tillage methods were tested: conventional tillage (CT), reduced tillage (RT), and no tillage (NT).
Weed flora density and diversity were assessed alongside cotton yield.
Weed density was significantly lower in no tillage (NT) plots compared to conventional tillage (CT) with p<0.05.
Cotton yield increased significantly with reduced tillage (RT) practices, showing a 15% increase compared to conventional tillage (CT).
Diversity of weed species was higher in crop rotation systems than in continuous cropping systems.
