Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Herbicides significantly reduced weed density and dry biomass relative to control.
- Intervention effect Herbicides significantly enhanced weed control efficiency relative to control.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin and metribuzin following glyphosate produced significantly higher weed control efficiency of 80–91%.
- Intervention effect The same spray sequence produced significantly higher fruit yield of 88.47 t/ha.
- Intervention effect Tomato quality parameters were unaffected by herbicides.
- Observation Fruit terminal residues were below stated safe limits for pendimethalin and metribuzin.
- Observation Bioassay and instrumental techniques found no residual carryover toxicity.
- Recommendation Authors recommend long-term monitoring after repeated combined herbicide spraying.
