Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Species richness increased biomass yield by reducing weed abundance.
- Association Species richness increased interannual yield stability by reducing weed abundance.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilization increased yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilization reduced yield stability.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that increasing bioenergy crop diversity can improve farmer economics through yield gains, lower yield variability and reduced weed control inputs.
