Other claims from this paper (9)
- Method / resource PlantTape and greenhouse seedlings enabled rapid mechanical field transplanting.
- Intervention effect Oxyfluorfen alone controlled cutleaf eveningprimrose throughout the season by 92 to 99% at either application timing.
- Intervention effect Oxyfluorfen combined with other herbicides controlled cutleaf eveningprimrose by 92 to 99% across application timings.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin gave inconsistent cutleaf eveningprimrose control.
- Intervention effect S-metolachlor gave inconsistent cutleaf eveningprimrose control.
- Recommendation The authors advise against using pendimethalin alone for weed control in Vidalia onion.
- Intervention effect Herbicides caused transient stunting and minor height reduction without affecting subsequent growth.
- Intervention effect The three-herbicide combination gave maximum onion bulb count and yield.
- Recommendation The authors conclude PlantTape can establish Vidalia onion with registered herbicides if transplant consistency is ensured.
