Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect All weed control treatments significantly reduced weed fresh and dry weight relative to an unweeded check.
- Intervention effect Two hoeings with mulching controlled 91.1-92.2% of weeds.
- Intervention effect One hoeing with mulching controlled 85.9-86.5% of weeds.
- Intervention effect Burning with two hoeings controlled 82.8-84.2% of weeds.
- Intervention effect Two hoeings improved the weed control efficiency of mulching and burning.
- Intervention effect Two hoeings with mulching controlled total weeds after 120 days.
- Intervention effect Two hoeings with mulching gave the highest tops, roots, biological and sugar yields.
- Intervention effect Hoeing with mulching or burning significantly increased juice sucrose and purity relative to untreated plants.
- Recommendation The authors recommend hoeing with rice straw mulching or burning for sugar beet production and weed reduction in saline land.
