Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Fruiting-stage irrigation increased flaxseed yield only when weeds were controlled.
- Intervention effect Narrowing rows increased yields only in unweeded plots.
- Intervention effect Weed growth cut flaxseed yield by 26 to 53%, least at 7.5 cm rows.
- Intervention effect Water at fruiting was less effective for yield when weeds were present.
- Intervention effect Narrower rows gave some weed control.
- Intervention effect Treatments did not affect flaxseed oil content.
- Intervention effect Wider spacing slightly increased iodine number in 1966.
- Intervention effect Row spacing did not affect total water use.
- Intervention effect Weed treatment did not affect total water use.
- Intervention effect Weed control increased water use efficiency.
- Observation Water use patterns suggested deeper roots in the drier year.
