Title
Diversifying bioenergy crops increases yield and yield stability by reducing weed abundance
Jacob M. Jungers; Yi Yang; Christopher W. Fernandez; et al. Science Advances 2021. doi:10.1126/sciadv.abg8531
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Species richness increased biomass yield by reducing weed abundance.
- Association Species richness increased interannual yield stability by reducing weed abundance.
- Mechanism Yield, rather than temporal yield variability, drove stability.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilization increased yield.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that increasing bioenergy crop diversity can improve farmer economics through yield gains, lower yield variability and reduced weed control inputs.
