Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Synergistic weeding gave larger maize leaf area at filling than mechanical weeding alone.
- Intervention effect Leaf area did not differ significantly among synergistic treatments.
- Intervention effect Mechanical-chemical weeding increased dry matter weight compared with chemical weeding at filling and maturity.
- Intervention effect At filling, synergistic weeding gave less dry matter weight than mechanical weeding.
- Intervention effect At maturity, mechanical-chemical weeding gave greater dry matter weight than mechanical weeding.
- Intervention effect Single weeding or no weeding significantly affected grains per ear.
- Intervention effect Single weeding or no weeding significantly affected thousand-grain weight.
- Intervention effect Single weeding or no weeding had no significant effect on yield.
- Intervention effect Synergistic weeding gave better grains per ear, thousand-grain weight and yield than chemical weeding.
- Intervention effect Only synergistic weeding produced higher yield than full-range mechanical weeding.
- Recommendation The authors recommend synergistic weeding with a 50% chemical reduction for maize growth and yield.
