Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Halosulfuron, halosulfuron + ethalfluralin and ethalfluralin + bensulide combinations gave consistently beneficial weed control across all site-years compared with the nontreated control.
- Intervention effect S-metolachlor performed as well as the best registered herbicides tested at each site-year.
- Observation Moderate herbicide injury at the Davis location did not reduce melon yield.
- Association The method used to incorporate preplant herbicides had a significant impact on weed control efficacy, which varied by location.
- Intervention effect Mechanical incorporation of preplant herbicides improved melon yield compared with sprinklers.
- Intervention effect Early-season weed control, by herbicides or hand weeding, increased melon yield significantly in most site-years.
