Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Zero tillage gave significantly lower grain and straw yield of finger millet (2.09 and 3.24 t/ha).
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage gave lower total weed density (13.7 no./m2 at 30 DAS and 23.9 no./m2 at 60 DAS).
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage gave lower weed dry weight (8.0 g/m2 at 30 DAS and 9.0 g/m2 at 60 DAS).
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage gave higher weed control efficiency (92.5–93.2% in 2014 and 93.3–93.8% in 2015).
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage gave lower weed index (7.6–10.3%).
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage gave a lower number of weed seeds in 2014 (12.3, 19.5 and 4.6/kg soil) than minimum tillage.
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage gave a lower number of weed seeds in 2015 (11.3, 17.6 and 4.1/kg soil) than minimum tillage.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage gave a higher soil weed seed bank because of poor weed control.
- Intervention effect Application of 100% recommended NPK + 7.5 t FYM/ha gave significantly higher grain and straw yields (3.03 and 4.68 t/ha) than other nutrient management practices.
- Intervention effect Nutrient management practices did not significantly change the soil weed seed bank, including their interaction with tillage.
