Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Diverse crop rotation had no consistent weed-control benefit over continuous corn.
- Intervention effect Rotating herbicide action had no added general weed-control benefit over glyphosate twice yearly.
- Observation No weed species showed evidence of glyphosate resistance.
- Intervention effect Low-rate glyphosate use built up wild buckwheat.
- Recommendation The authors advise against glyphosate at the low use rate.
- Intervention effect Glyphosate treatments improved grass control relative to conventional treatments across all sites.
