Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Sorghum plus sunflower extracts combined with one quarter of label herbicide rates inhibited canary grass dry matter production by up to 92% in wheat.
- Intervention effect The persistence index of wild oat and canary grass under the extracts plus one quarter herbicide rates was lower or equal to that under respective label herbicide rates, except for the extracts plus one quarter phenoxaprop-p-ethyl.
- Intervention effect Lower herbicide rates combined with water extracts produced wheat grain yield statistically equal to that under the label rates of the respective herbicides.
- Observation Two treatments combining water extracts with lower herbicide rates were economical in wheat.
- Observation Sorghum plus sunflower plus one quarter mesosulfuron + idosulfuron produced the highest marginal rate of return, 4404%.
- Recommendation Herbicide use can be reduced by 75% through integration with sorghum plus sunflower extracts without compromising yield and net benefits for management of wild oat and canary grass in wheat.
