Other claims from this paper (16)
- Intervention effect With banded herbicide, bermudagrass cover was greater with broadcast than banded application in the third ratoon crop.
- Intervention effect Broadcast and banded herbicide applications gave similar bermudagrass cover in the first and second ratoon crops.
- Intervention effect Bermudagrass cover was greatest with no-till compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect When herbicides were banded, bermudagrass cover was greater in reduced tillage than in conventional tillage in all three ratoon crops.
- Intervention effect Postharvest residue management did not affect bermudagrass ground cover.
- Intervention effect In plant cane, sugarcane yields were lowest when herbicide was not applied.
- Intervention effect Cane and sugar yield were generally equal under reduced and conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Total sugarcane yield over four crop years was reduced 11% for the no-till program when herbicides were broadcast, compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Total sugarcane yield over four crop years was reduced 15% for the no-till program with banded herbicide, compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Total sugarcane yield over four crop years was reduced 25% for the no-till program without herbicide, compared with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Failure to remove residue reduced sugarcane yield by 5% in the first ratoon, compared with burning.
- Intervention effect Failure to remove residue reduced sugarcane yield by 7% in the second ratoon, compared with burning.
- Intervention effect Failure to remove residue reduced sugarcane yield by 10% in the third ratoon, compared with burning.
- Recommendation Eliminating unnecessary tillage is recommended to increase sugarcane profitability.
- Recommendation Herbicide programs must be included to provide adequate bermudagrass control.
- Recommendation Postharvest residue should be removed to promote sugarcane yield.
