Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Early sowing gave less P. minor growth than delayed sowing.
- Intervention effect Early sowing increased weed biomass relative to delayed sowing.
- Intervention effect Early sowing gave lower wheat yields than delayed sowing.
- Intervention effect Paddy straw mulch increased wheat height, tiller count, and yield.
- Intervention effect Jute mat mulch increased wheat height, tiller count, and yield.
- Intervention effect Black polythene mulch increased wheat height, tiller count, and yield.
- Intervention effect Paddy straw mulch drastically reduced weed infestation, particularly P. minor growth.
- Intervention effect Jute mat mulch drastically reduced weed infestation, particularly P. minor growth.
- Intervention effect With no weed management, delayed sowing increased wheat yield over earlier sowing.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that organic mulches can manage P. minor infestation and raise wheat yield.
