Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Neither tillage nor herbicide treatment changed onion stand counts.
- Intervention effect Strip tillage lowered common lambsquarters density relative to conventional tillage for up to three weeks after postemergence herbicides.
- Intervention effect Micro-rate postemergence herbicides gave greater early broadleaf weed control than preemergence treatments.
- Intervention effect Onion yield did not differ among herbicide treatments.
- Intervention effect Onion grade did not differ among herbicide treatments.
- Intervention effect In 2007 strip tillage increased onion bulb diameter relative to conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Marketable onion yield was 82.1 Mg ha−1 under strip tillage versus 64.9 Mg ha−1 under conventional tillage.
- Recommendation The authors recommend strip tillage as a useful alternative to a companion crop for direct-seeded onion.
