Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Black polythene mulch gave 100% weed control at six weeks after treatment
- Intervention effect Guinea grass emerging through black polythene mulch reduced weed control efficiency to 96.3 and 98.5% at 12 WAT
- Intervention effect Straw mulch gave higher weed control efficiency at 6 WAT (98.4 and 98.2%)
- Intervention effect Atrazine and pendimethalin were the next most efficient herbicides and did not differ significantly from each other
- Intervention effect Diuron followed by glyphosate gave higher weed control efficiency at 12 WAT
- Intervention effect Diuron followed by glyphosate did not differ significantly from atrazine followed by glyphosate in weed control efficiency at 12 WAT
- Intervention effect Straw mulch (8 cm) gave the highest fruit yield, 69.3 and 67.9
- Intervention effect Straw mulch (8 cm) increased fruit weight by 20 and 19% over manual weeding
- Intervention effect Straw mulch (8 cm) did not differ significantly from straw mulch (6 cm), black polythene mulch or diuron in fruit yield
- Recommendation Plastic and straw mulches can be used as an effective chemical-free alternative to manual or chemical weed control in peach
