Abstract
Beside well-implemented technological measures, the basis for high productivity in ecological orchards represents an active life in the soil, which is influenced directly by seeding adaptive ameliorative plant species, regular mulching of driving trams, digging the belt under the trees and adding organic fertilizers into the soil in correct time. Since in the organic production the use of herbicides is prohibited, the seeding of sharp stonecrop (Sedum acre), underground Trifolium (T. subteraneum) or hawkweed (Hieracium pilosella) is recommended which are low in growth and do not require a lot of water for growth and development but can even inhibit the growth of aggressive weeds such as velcro or morning glory. The modern technique for controlling weeds in the tree belt includes three groups of machines; side mulchers, hoeing machines for tree belt and machines for trimming grass
