Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect All weed control treatments significantly reduced fresh weight of sugar beet weeds versus the unweeded treatment.
- Observation Metamitron was the most effective herbicide for weed control.
- Intervention effect Adding one hand hoeing improved efficacy of both herbicides for controlling sugar beet weeds.
- Intervention effect Herbicide plots had significantly decreased photosynthetic pigments compared with hoeing plots.
- Intervention effect Hand hoeing significantly raised photosynthetic pigments versus untreated sugar beet after 18 weeks.
- Intervention effect Metamitron plus hoeing significantly improved plant height, LAI and leaf number compared with untreated controls.
- Intervention effect Metamitron plus hoeing significantly affected root/top ratio and root characters compared with untreated controls.
- Intervention effect Metamitron plus hoeing gave the highest tops, roots and biological yields.
- Intervention effect Metamitron plus hoeing gave the highest sugar yield.
- Intervention effect Metamitron plus hoeing significantly increased T.S.S., sucrose and purity relative to untreated controls.
- Recommendation The authors recommend adding hand hoeing to Metamitron or Chloridazon for sugar beet production and weed reduction at Nubariya.
