Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Tomato injury rose with the simulated glyphosate drift rate.
- Intervention effect Glyphosate drift at 22.5 g ae ha −1 reduced red tomato yield by 23%.
- Intervention effect Glyphosate drift at 180 g ae ha −1 reduced yield to 88% of control.
- Observation Glyphosate at 22.5 g ae ha −1 followed by metribuzin caused a transient synergistic interaction that was absent at the 28-day injury rating.
- Observation Glyphosate drift rates of 45, 90 or 180 g ae ha −1 followed by metribuzin interacted additively for injury, dry weight, fruit counts and yield.
