Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation At 24 plants m-2, wild sunflower had a dry biomass of 413.84 g m-2 at Adamitulu
- Observation At 24 plants m-2, wild sunflower had a dry biomass of 549.83 g m-2 at Melkassa
- Intervention effect Increasing wild sunflower density from 0 to 24 plants m-2 reduced common bean pods per plant by up to 62.41% at Adamitulu
- Intervention effect Increasing wild sunflower density from 0 to 24 plants m-2 reduced common bean pods per plant by up to 83.11% at Melkassa
- Intervention effect The highest wild sunflower density reduced common bean seed per pod 4.6-fold relative to the weed-free plot
- Intervention effect Weed-free common bean plots at Adamitulu had the highest grain yield, 2.77 t/ha
- Intervention effect Weed-free common bean plots at Melkassa had the highest grain yield, 3.37 t/ha
- Intervention effect The highest wild sunflower density reduced common bean grain yield by 88.12% at Adamitulu
- Intervention effect The highest wild sunflower density reduced common bean grain yield by 67.64% at Melkassa
- Association The rectangular hyperbolic equation fits common bean grain yields well
