Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Sugarcane residue extract reduced Chinese kale germination by 82% at 66.7 g/L.
- Intervention effect Sugarcane residue extract reduced cucumber germination by 88% at 66.7 g/L.
- Intervention effect Bagasse extracts did not inhibit Chinese kale germination.
- Intervention effect Bagasse extracts did not inhibit cucumber germination.
- Intervention effect Bagasse extracts inhibited tomato germination by 13% at 66.7 g/L in one experiment.
- Recommendation The authors advise against sugarcane field residue as mulch or amendment for direct-seeded vegetables.
- Recommendation The authors suggest bagasse has potential as vegetable-production mulch except for the tomato germination case.
- Recommendation The authors propose sugarcane field residue as potential mulch for perennial ornamentals to suppress emerging weeds.
