Field trials were undertaken over three years to determine the effect of tine weeding in organic pea (Pisum sativum) crops in Canterbury The tine weeding treatments were performed either as single or repeated passes at different times of crop growth Significant weed control and yield increase were achieved with a single pass of tine weeding either at preemergence or at the 2leaf stage of the crop On some occasions two passes of tine were required to control new weeds Late postemergence tine weeding did not have a positive effect on pea yield
