Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect All weeded treatments reduced the dry weight of broadleaf, grassy and total weeds compared with the weedy check in onion fields.
- Intervention effect Oxadiargyl, followed by two hand hoeing, rice straw mulch and acetic acid 40%, gave the greatest weed control efficiency, with insignificant differences among these treatments.
- Intervention effect Rice straw mulch increased bulb length by 67.52 percent over the weedy check.
- Intervention effect Rice straw mulch increased bulb diameter by 57.55 percent over the weedy check.
- Intervention effect Rice straw mulch increased onion yield by 66.22 percent over the weedy check.
- Intervention effect Rice straw mulch gave the highest N, P and K values compared with hand hoeing, oxadiargyl and acetic acid 40%.
- Recommendation Farmers can depend on mulching or 40% acetic acid instead of chemical herbicides for controlling onion weeds, especially in organic systems.
