Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Thesium utile failed to survive where the weed was removed by hoeing.
- Observation Thesium utile persisted and increased in the untreated control.
- Intervention effect Herbicides killed Thesium more effectively than they suppressed C. macrocephalum.
- Intervention effect Host-specific rust had no impact on T. utile survival.
- Recommendation The authors judge that weed control is unlikely to threaten native Thesium species because they use many hosts.
