Abstract : Basic features of various mulching materials and the most important characteristics (number and biomass) of each weed species that managed to break through the mulch barriers are presented in this paper. Survey of 9 organic mulches (straw, chopped pieces of the pine bark, sawdust of acacia, cardboard, dry pine needles, chopped maize sedge, chopped pieces of the acacia bark, herbal composts 1 and 2), 1 biodegradable (black mulch film) and 4 plastic mulch films (silver-brown, perforated black, black, black “agrotextil”) were tested in Mentha x piperita experimental cultivation, located in Serbia. The most common weed species recorded were Agropirum repens, Avena fatua, Picris hieracioides, Setaria viridis and Rumex crispus. The number and biomasses of all weed species were measured once in a season, prior to the first harvest of M. piperita. Comparing to control treatment, 12 out of 14 mulches applied as a weed control method prove to have beneficiary effects in mint cultivation, influencing both, the occurrence (9.7 – 100%) and the weeds biomasses (30 – 100%). Six of them were selected for further investigation.
