Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation marketable tomato yields were significantly higher in 2007–2008 than in 2005–2006.
- Intervention effect Plastic cover gave higher tomato yield than rye and crimson clover in 2006 and 2008.
- Intervention effect Rye without a shank gave higher tomato yield in 2007 than plastic mulch and crimson clover.
- Intervention effect Tomato yield after crimson clover was lower than after rye or plastic across years.
- Observation Marketable fruit yield exceeded 80% of total tomato yield in every treatment.
- Intervention effect Cover crops and shank treatments did not change marketable yield percentage.
- Recommendation The authors recommend cover crops, especially rye, as an alternative to plastic mulch for tomato production.
