Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Velvetleaf seed production increased with biomass.
- Intervention effect Corn planting date did not change velvetleaf seed dormancy status.
- Intervention effect Greater corn competition reduced dormant velvetleaf seed proportion by up to 30%.
- Intervention effect Corn competition decreased velvetleaf seed and seed coat weights versus monoculture.
- Association The authors infer that velvetleaf in less competitive locations produces more seeds.
- Association The authors infer that velvetleaf in less competitive locations produces a greater proportion of dormant seeds.
- Recommendation More stringent control may be needed for velvetleaf at field edges or fallow areas because of seed dormancy.
