Zlatko SVEČNJAK; Klara BARIĆ; Dubravko MAĆEŠIĆ; et al. Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca Agriculture 1970. doi:10.15835/buasvmcn-agr:4308
Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Seedbed practice had no effect on maize emergence.
- Intervention effect Tilled seedbeds tended to yield more grain than no-till seedbeds through better early weed control.
- Intervention effect Under no-till, maize grain yield increased with each cultivation up to three passes.
- Observation In tilled seedbeds, the largest yield occurred with two cultivations.
- Intervention effect In tilled seedbeds, yield slightly decreased after a third cultivation.
- Intervention effect Band herbicide application yielded more than one cultivation alone.
- Association The yield response to band herbicide reversed after multiple cultivation passes.
- Intervention effect Grain yield responded positively to one and two cultivation passes despite pre-emergence chemical weed control.
- Intervention effect Banded herbicide complemented by two inter-row cultivations gave effective weed control regardless of seedbed preparation.
- Recommendation The authors present banded herbicide with two cultivations as a way for Croatian farmers to lower environmental herbicide load.
