Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation More growth, yield and postharvest quality parameters were affected by amendment treatments in cabbage than in tomato.
- Intervention effect In cabbage, marketable and total yields were higher in amended than in control plots, with significant differences in 2001 and 2003.
- Intervention effect In cabbage, head weight, size and volume of amended plots exceeded the control plots in 2002 and 2003.
- Intervention effect In cabbage, core volume of amended plots exceeded the control plots in 2002 and 2003.
- Intervention effect In 2001, cabbage heads from the no seed threshold (NST) weed treatment were larger than heads from the critical period (CP) treatment.
- Intervention effect In tomato in 2003, the CP weed treatment had a higher Area Under the Disease Progress Curve than the NST treatment.
- Intervention effect Disease levels within years were mostly unaffected by amendment treatments.
- Observation In cabbage, disease was more common in 2002 than in 2003.
- Intervention effect In cabbage in 2003, head rot was more prevalent in compost-amended plots than in manure-amended or control plots.
- Intervention effect Tomato postharvest quality parameters were similar among amendment and weed treatments within each year.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that soil amendment may enhance crop yield and quality in a transitional-organic system.
- Intervention effect The authors state that weed management strategy can alter weed populations and perhaps disease levels.
