Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect In the field, cover crops in mixture or mono-cultivation suppressed weeds by 66% compared with an untreated control.
- Observation Cover crop extracts contained potential allelochemicals.
- Association Different cover crop mulches reduced weed germination in sugar beet.
- Intervention effect During one dry growing season, sugar beet emergence was enhanced by a cover crop mulch layer compared with uncovered soil.
- Association Cover crop mulch layers may substantially affect crop and weed development in the field.
- Association Living mulches reduced the total amount of different weed species in the inter-row area by up to 71% in sugar beet at four sites in southern Germany.
- Intervention effect Living mulch increased white sugar yield in sugar beet by 42% on average compared with the untreated control.
- Intervention effect Sensor-based mechanical precision steering reduced weeds more effectively than manual operator guidance in sugar beet.
- Mechanism The more effective weed reduction by sensor-based steering is attributed to accurate fast driving speeds close to the crop area.
- Association Intra-row mechanical weeding elements suppressed weeds effectively in sugar beet.
- Association Herbicide active ingredients caused different photosystem II damage in sugar beet.
- Association A portable chlorophyll fluorescence sensor can quantify herbicide phytotoxic effects and help choose herbicide application timing in sugar beet.
