Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Herbicides substituted successfully for mechanical weed control.
- Intervention effect Direct drilling yielded 1.97 tonnes per hectare versus 2.02 under cultivated preparation, without a significant difference.
- Intervention effect This minimum cultivation treatment had poor plant establishment.
- Intervention effect Reduced cultivation gave comparable yields to conventional cultivation.
- Intervention effect Added nitrogen did not significantly increase yield in a dry season.
- Intervention effect Increasing nitrogen rate raised yield linearly in four of six other years.
- Association Cultivation method and applied nitrogen had no significant interaction.
