Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Signal grass produced up to 64% more biomass than ruzi grass.
- Intervention effect Ecological mowing deposited up to 5.1 ton ha −1 of biomass within rows, nine times conventional mowing.
- Intervention effect Ecological mowing increased canopy volume by up to 33% compared with conventional mowing.
- Intervention effect Ruzi grass with ecological mowing reduced weed density 56% relative to conventional mowing.
- Intervention effect Ruzi grass with ecological mowing raised fruit yield 126% relative to conventional mowing.
- Intervention effect Glyphosate with ruzi grass raised fruit yield 52% versus no glyphosate.
- Intervention effect Ecological mowing with glyphosate raised fruit yield 107% versus no glyphosate.
- Observation Ruzi grass provided less competition for citrus trees.
- Observation Ecological mowing provided an intrarow mulch layer for citrus trees.
- Recommendation The authors propose ruzi grass, ecological mowing and glyphosate as integrated weed-management options in young Tahiti acid lime orchards.
