Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Four named weeds accounted for about 90% of total weed density.
- Association Residual weed community assembly was associated primarily with available topsoil nutrients in the order P, N, K.
- Mechanism Crop weed competition for nutrients and sunlight was identified as the main indirect fertilization effect on weed community composition.
- Mechanism Crop weed competition for nutrients and sunlight was identified as the main indirect fertilization effect on weed species diversity.
- Association Weed diversity indices had significant linear relationships with wheat yield.
- Intervention effect Balanced fertilization favored wheat yield.
- Intervention effect PK fertilization favored weed density.
- Intervention effect PK fertilization favored weed diversity.
- Observation NP and NK treatments provided intermediate wheat production and maintained a diverse weed community.
