Title
Competition between skeleton weed ( Chondrila juncea L) and cereals in relation to nitrogen supply
LF Myers; J Lipsett Australian Journal of Agricultural Research 1958. doi:10.1071/ar9580001
Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Nitrogen was the major factor limiting yields of wheat and oats
- Association In soils with comparable nitrogen supply, skeleton weed density governed the crop response to applied nitrogen
- Intervention effect Competition from skeleton weed was severe at low nitrogen levels and minor at high nitrogen levels
- Observation Competition had its effect early in the crop growth
- Intervention effect One MCPA application in the fallow or after crop emergence increased oat yield from 710 to 1350 lb grain per acre
- Intervention effect The MCPA spraying response on oats was equal to that from 32 lb N per acre applied at planting
- Association Later spraying gave responses in grain nitrogen in wheat and oats
- Association Skeleton weed reduced nitrogen supply early in crop growth
- Association Skeleton weed depressed crop yield
- Observation The study gives a new estimate of crop yield reduction due to skeleton weed
- Intervention effect Response to spraying at different times was analogous to the effect of a nitrogen application at those times
