- Intervention effect Cattle manure only gave higher weed species richness and diversity than the inorganic fertiliser only regime.
- Intervention effect Cattle manure plus inorganic fertiliser gave higher weed species richness and diversity than the inorganic fertiliser only regime.
- Observation Weed seed distribution did not differ between sampling depths.
- Observation Twelve weed species, including bermudagrass, crabgrass and goosegrass, were key contributors to the differences in species composition between fertiliser regimes and agroecological zones.
- Observation The twelve key weed species were the most prevalent weeds in the seed bank.
- Recommendation Proper cattle manure composting is recommended to mitigate weed proliferation and enhance sustainable maize production.
