Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect A driving speed of 2 km/h killed the highest percentage of weeds.
- Intervention effect The first flame application completely killed weeds with fewer than six leaves when growth points were unprotected and leaves thin.
- Recommendation Weeds with at least six leaves required a second or third flame application.
- Intervention effect Hot steam was effective when applied twice, with the second application one week later.
- Recommendation The authors advise against mulching with flaming because of fire hazard.
- Association Herbicide effectiveness depended on weed species and prior use of the same herbicide.
- Intervention effect Herbicide alone controlled weeds less effectively than herbicide with mulching.
- Intervention effect Herbicide alone was more costly per hectare and environmentally than herbicide with mulching.
