Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Weed infestation was significantly smaller where straw mulch was left until cabbage harvest than with autumn or spring incorporation of straw.
- Intervention effect Fresh mass and number of weeds in plots with non-incorporated straw mulch were lower than in the control without mulching and in farmyard-manure plots during cabbage growth.
- Intervention effect Straw mulch and date of ploughing down had no significant secondary effect on weed infestation in onion.
- Intervention effect Cabbage and onion yield after straw mulch was similar to the yield after farmyard manure.
