AB  - Persistent seed banks are equally important in agriculture and invasion biology. While
seed vitality persistence exemplifies an eternal uphill battle for weed control in agriculture, it
signals a potential invasiveness of species in invasion biology. Considering yield losses caused
by Amaranthus retroflexus, Abutilon theophrasti, Chenopodium album and Datura stramonium
in agriculture, and the importance of Ambrosia trifida as an emerging invader in Europe, the
objective of this study was to test the viability and longevity of the aged seeds of these
economically important weeds. Three seed viability/longevity tests were conducted: the
crush test, germination test in Petri dishes, and 3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) test.
The results revealed a significant variation in germination potential among the tested species.
The highest vitality was observed in 7-year-old seeds of A. retroflexus (41.67 %), followed by
16-year-old A. theophrasti seeds (17.78 %), 13-year-old C. album seeds (15.00 %) and 17-yearold
D. stramonium seeds (7.5 %). Furthermore, a remarkable seed longevity was documented
in the tested species (with the exception of A. trifida), preserving their germination potential
for over half a century. Seed germination was recorded in 49-year-old seeds of D. stramonium,
53-year-old seeds of A. retroflexus, 58-year-old seeds of A. theophrasti and 59-year-old seeds of C.
album, in strong evidence of the persistence of these weed species’ seeds in the environment.
AB  - Prisustvo banke semena je podjednako važno za poljoprivrednu praksu i oblast bioloških
invazija. U poljoprivredi vitalnost semena predstavlja borbu protiv korova, a u oblasti invazivne
biologije to je signal invazivnog potencijala vrste. Uzimajući u obzir smanjenje prinosa zbog
prisustva vrsta Amaranthus retroflexus, Abutilon teophrasti, Chenopodium album i Datura
stramonium u poljoprivrednoj praksi i značaj invazije Ambrosia trifida u Evropi, cilj rada je bio
da se ispita vitalnost i dugovečnost starih semena navedenih ekonomski značajnih vrsta.
Urađena su tri testa za proveru vitalnosti/dugovečnosti semena: test gnječenja, test klijanja
u Petri posudama i tetrazolijum test (3,5 trifeniltetrazolijum hlorid-TTC). Dobijeni rezultati
su pokazali velike varijacije potencijala klijavosti. Najveća vitalnost je utvrđena za seme
A.retroflexus starog 7 godina (41,67%), zatim semena A. teophrasti starog 16 godina (17,78%),
trinaestogodišnjeg semena C. album (15%) i sedamnaestogodišnjeg semena D. stramonium
(7,5%). Takođe, utvrđena je izuzetna vitalnost semena testiranih vrsta (osim A. trifida) starog
više od pola veka. Zabeležena je klijavost 49 godina starog semena D. stramonium, 53 godina
starog semena A. retroflexus, 58 godina starog semena A. teophrasti i 59 godina starog semena
C. album, čime se potvrđuje njihova perzistentnot u životnoj sredini.

AB  - Given the importance of different weed management systems (MS) for weed communities and soil seed bank, our aim was to study the impacts of organic (Org) and conventional (Conv) MS in tomato and sugar beet on the abundance of weeds and weed seed bank. The results have shown that in both crops the aboveground weed flora is dominated by 2–3 species in the Conv MS, while it is more diverse in the Org MS. In both crops the soil seed bank is less diverse when compared with the aboveground weed flora. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the weed flora and soil seed bank has shown a high number of different weed seeds in the soil for tomato, unlike sugar beet, where a higher number of weeds was determined in the aboveground weed flora. In tomato, the soil seed bank is more diverse in Org MS (4.1 ± 1.5) than in Conv MS (3.8 ± 1.3), which was also true for the aboveground plant biodiversity (4.6 ± 1.1 vs. 3.6 ± 1.5 species, respectively). Also, although the differences in aboveground weed density and abundance in tomato were not statistically significant, seed bank reserves in the Org MS were significantly more abundant (40.4 ± 16.7 weed seeds vs. 4.5 ± 3.6 in Conv MS). This study has also shown that in sugar beet there were practically no differences between Org and Conv MS, even though the abundance of its aboveground weed flora was higher in Org MS (70.2 ± 29.4 vs. 38.1 ± 21.2 plants/m2 in Conv MS). In conclusion, it can be said that although both MS had similar effects on weed management in tomato, for sugar beet Org MS has proven to be less effective in weed control.
