Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Tillage and weed control methods significantly affected all traits except seeds per ear.
- Observation The tillage by weed control interaction significantly affected grain rows per ear and grain yield.
- Intervention effect Winter vetch with moldboard tillage yielded 1271 g m-2, the highest yield.
- Intervention effect Yield under winter vetch and moldboard tillage did not significantly differ from cover crops with chisel tillage.
- Intervention effect Weed infestation with no tillage reduced grain yield by 45% relative to winter vetch with conventional tillage.
- Observation Tillage, weed control, and their interaction significantly affected weed density and biomass.
- Intervention effect Weed density was maximal at 60 plant m-2 with infestation and no tillage.
- Intervention effect Weed biomass was maximal at 335 g m-2 with infestation and no tillage.
- Intervention effect Chicklingpea cover crop with minimum tillage reduced weed density by 62%.
- Intervention effect Chicklingpea cover crop with minimum tillage reduced weed biomass by 53%.
- Recommendation Winter vetch and chicklingpea cover crops were judged more suitable for weed control because they establish and grow rapidly.
- Intervention effect Winter vetch and chicklingpea cover crops with chisel tillage suppressed about 50-60% of weeds.
