Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Cover crop mixtures controlled weeds more effectively than single species.
- Mechanism Mixtures had more stable and greater biomass, contributing to better weed suppression.
- Observation Allelopathic substances were detected in cover crops.
- Intervention effect Altering cover crop sowing time and fertilization significantly affected weed and cover crop biomass.
- Intervention effect Early cover crop sowing five and three weeks before wheat harvest significantly improved weed control in one year.
- Intervention effect Spring cover crop mulch suppressed up to 83% of weeds.
- Intervention effect Cover crops, mulch and undersowing significantly reduced herbicide use in the main crop.
- Observation Five named cover crop extracts had the strongest weed growth inhibition.
- Observation M. chamomilla was more sensitive to biochemical effects of cover crops than other tested weeds.
- Association Laboratory growth inhibition and field weed suppression were strongly positively correlated.
- Intervention effect Activated carbon changed the competitive weed suppressive effect of cover crops.
- Observation Specific cover crops had effects on particular weed species.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that chemical or mechanical control remains necessary, especially for sugar beet.
