Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Continuous minimum tillage produced nearly 50% less durum wheat grain yield than conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Alternating minimum and conventional tillage suppressed weed populations equally effectively.
- Intervention effect Grain yield did not differ significantly between alternating tillage treatments.
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage had a higher marginal rate of return.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D 720 amine controlled broad-leaved weeds across tillage systems.
- Intervention effect Brittox 52% controlled broad-leaved weeds across tillage systems.
- Intervention effect MCPA 625 controlled broad-leaved weeds across tillage systems.
