Hack flora
The plant species that were often found in vineyards under traditional cultivation are called hack flora .
These are mainly geophytes such as the wild tulip ( Tulipa sylvestris ), the nodding milk star ( Ornithogalum nutans ), the vineyard grape hyacinth ( Muscari racemosum ), the vineyard garlic and the field yellow star ( Gagea villosa ). Regular hoeing loosened the soil and pushed back competing plants, especially grasses. In addition, vineyards were planted in sunny and warm locations, which suited the Mediterranean plants.
Through the use of milling instead of hoeing in viticulture since the 1970s, numerous onions of these plants were destroyed; The use of herbicides and the winter greening of the vineyards caused further damage to the traditional hacking flora. In Bavaria, many spring bloomers that are counted among the hack flora are now on the red list and efforts are being made to make them at home in the vineyards again through targeted planting. In such cases, herbicides may only be used after the root flora has bloomed.
