The aim of this thesis was to evaluate weed infestation of chosen crops, to compare weed infestation among each crop and evaluate used regulation interventions, eventually to suggest another solution. Evaluation was made in winter oilseed rape, winter wheat and in spring barley. In the winter oilseed rape were found Viola arvensis, Triticum aestivum, Thlaspi arvense, Chenopodium album, Geranium pusillum, Fallopia convolvulus, Stellaria media, Lamium purpureum, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Veronica persica, Tripleurospermum inodorum and Cirsium arvense. In winter wheat were Viola arvensis, Veronica persica, Brassica napus ssp. napus, Lamium purpurem, Galium aparine, Geranium pusillum, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Thlaspi arvense, Chenopodium album, Stellaria media, Matricaria recutita and Cirsium arvense. In spring barley were Viola arvensis, Raphanus raphanistrum, Lamium purpureum, Veronica persica, Thlaspi arvense, Fallopia convolvulus, Polygonum aviculare, Galeopsis tetrahit, Chenopodium album, Galium aparine, Geranium pusillum, and Matricaria recutita. Weed infestation was processed by canonical correspondent analysis (CCA). Finally it was suggested to use different methods for weed regulation.

O ácido 2,4 diclorofenoxiacético (2,4-D) é um herbicida amplamente utilizado na agricultura sendo moderadamente tóxico para os seres humanos e demais animais. Apresenta neurotoxicidade, mas seu mecanismo de ação no sistema nervoso não está totalmente esclarecido. Há indícios de que este herbicida atue nos neurônios serotoninérgicos e dopaminérgicos de maneira seletiva, mas não há estudos suficientes para afirmarem sua exata ação sobre o sistema nervoso periférico. Entre os efeitos advindos da intoxicação com 2,4-D estão manifestações gastrointestinais. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo verificar os efeitos da administração do 2,4-D diluído em água nos neurônios mioentéricos do duodeno de ratos. Para tanto, 36 ratos (Rattus norvegicus) foram separados em três grupos (n = 12): controle (C); tratamento com 2,5 &#956;g/Kg de 2,4-D (B) e tratamento com 5 &#956;g/Kg de 2,4-D (A). Após 15 dias de experimento, os animais foram anestesiados, eutanasiados e seus duodenos foram retirados. Os neurônios mioentéricos foram evidenciados por meio de preparados de membrana corados pelo método de Giemsa e pela técnica de evidenciação neuronal pela ação da NADH-diaforase. Estes preparados de membrana foram analisados ao microscópio de luz para contagem dos neurônios e através de programa computadorizado de análise de imagens foi feita a mensuração do perfil do corpo celular (PCC) desses neurônios. A análise quantitativa demonstrou diminuição no número de neurônios do duodeno nos animais que receberam 2,4-D, em ambas as técnicas (p<0,05). Predominaram nos três grupos de animais neurônios de tamanho entre 101 e 300&#956;m2. A incidência de neurônios grandes (entre 301 e 600 µm2) foi significantemente maior (p<0,05) nos animais tratados com 2,4-D. Os resultados sugerem que o 2,4-D afeta o plexo mioentérico, sendo sua ação neurotóxica manifestada pela diminuição no número de neurônios e aumento no número de neurônios grandes. / The 2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) it is a herbicid thoroughly used in the agriculture and it is poisonous for the human beings and other animals. It presents neurotoxicity but its action mechanism in the nervous system is not totally known. There are evidences that herbicid actuate on selective mode in serotoninergics and dopaminergics neurons, but there isn?t significant studies to prove its discuss action on the peripheric nervous system. Among the effects succeeding of the intoxication with 2,4-D are gastrointestinal manifestations. The present work had as objective verifies the effects of the administration for 15 days of 5 &#956;g and 2,5 &#956;g/Kg of body weight of 2,4-D diluted in water in the duodenum myenteric neurons of the rats. In order to do so, 15 rats (Rattus norvegicus) were divided into three groups (n = 12): controls (C); treatment with 2,5&#956;g/Kg of 2,4-D (B); and treatment with 5&#956;g/Kg of 2,4-D (A). 15 days later, the animals were anesthetized, killed without pain and your duodenums were removed. The myenteric neurons were stained employing the Giemsa and the NADH-diaforase methods by means of whole mounts preparations. These whole mounts preparations were analyzed in light microscope to count the neurons and through image analysis software to measured the cellular body profile (CBP) of these neurons. The quantitative analysis evidenced reduction in the number of duodenum neurons in animals which received 2,4-D, in both techniques (p<0,05). Predominated in three groups neurons with size between 101 and 300 &#956;m2. Incidence of big neurons (between 301 e 600 &#956;m2) was significantly higher (p<0,05) in the treated with 2,4-D. The results suggest that the 2,4-D affect the myenteric plexus, and its action is expressed by reduction in neurons number and increase in incidence of big neurons.

This thesis is aimed at biology, presence and methods of weeds regulation on a land planted with permanent grasses. Lately, ruderal weed species have been spreading uncontrollably throughout the lawns. It is very difficult to control their occurrence and also very economically challenging. Therefore, the farms should focus more on the possibilities of preventing excessive weed infestation and they should also define and apply the cheapest and the most favorable precautions. On the grassland, which belongs to the ZD Třebelovice, were observed the most abundant weed species. The weeds which occurred the most were: Taraxacum Officinale, Rumex Obtusifolius L, Ranunculus Repens L., Geranium Pratense L., and Urtica dioica L. The influence of the individual hay cuts on the occurrence of the chosen weed species was monitored. The influence of various herbicides was also the matter of observance. The componential task was to appraise the achieved effect after applying chosen herbicides on the weed species.

The degree work describes the biology and morphology of the weed plants, which are found in maize vegetation most frequently, as well as their spreading and possible regulation. Based on the findings acquired, the methods of chemical and mechanical regulation are described. The degree work describes briefly both the plant of maize itself and the process of its growing. The attempt took place on the school farm of the Agricultural School in Tábor; a small plot attempt was carried out at the same place. The frequency of the occurrence of weed species on the selected small plots was evaluated in the hybrids of maize (Zea mays). The degree work contains data on the extent of the occurrence of weeds on individual plots, on which the individual hybrids of maize were compared with one another. It also includes an economic evaluation and possible measures to eliminate the spreading of weeds.

The introduction of genetically modified crops raised controversial reactions that divide not only the professional community into two camps. Considering that rapeseed, soya beans and corn belong to the most important crops of the world, significant attention is given to the development of their GM varieties. Based on available information, a comparative study was compiled involving the effects of genetically modified varieties of these crops on the environment, human and animal health and socio-economic area. The cultivation of genetically modified crops is profitable especially for companies developing these varieties and for the growers. However it was found that the reduction of the amount of applied herbicides was not achieved as expected. Additionally a negative affect of the active herbicide substances on the environment and human and animal health has been shown. There is a positive impact of the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions due to less frequent entries into the stands. Feeding with GM products also manifested in negative way. There is a very risky possibility of crossing and emergence of resistant weeds, in particular rape and related species as well. The reduction of biodiversity, which is often discussed, was not confirmed in all cases. The changes in the microbial community in the soil have been demonstrated. The coexistence of GM crops with conventional agriculture, and even more ecological agriculture has been shown as problematic. In accordance with the findings, it is recommended to follow the precautionary principles, to follow the varied crop rotation and to target the production to sustainable agriculture, verified by time and experience.
