Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect The weed-free control gave the highest sugar beet yield.
- Intervention effect Integrated treatments combining pre-emergence metamitron (700 g/L) with one or two hand hoeings gave the next highest yield after the weed-free control.
- Intervention effect The integrated herbicide plus hand-hoeing methods reduced weed dry weight by 90.14 to 96.11%.
- Intervention effect The integrated methods increased yield by up to 365% compared with the weedy control.
- Intervention effect Herbicide-only treatments were less effective than the integrated treatments in sustaining yield and suppressing weeds.
