Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Cover crops reduced total weed biomass at termination by 93% to 99%.
- Intervention effect Cover crops terminated with glyphosate plus residual herbicide reduced weed density by 52% to 80% for at least 90 days.
- Intervention effect The combined cover crop and herbicide treatment reduced weed biomass by 70%.
- Intervention effect Subsequent wheat grain yield did not differ between cover crop treatments and chemical fallow in the first two seasons.
- Intervention effect In 2023 to 2024, chemical fallow yielded more wheat than cover crops terminated with glyphosate alone.
- Intervention effect In 2023 to 2024, cover crops with residual herbicide yielded more wheat than cover crops terminated with glyphosate alone.
