Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Narrow corn rows suppressed weed biomass more than high plant density.
- Intervention effect Weed biomass under corn canopy was five to eight times lower than in weed monoculture.
- Intervention effect Early-maturing LRS and P3979 generally reduced weed biomass more than LMBL.
- Recommendation The authors suggest hybrid selection and plant spacing for integrated weed control.
