Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Later weed establishment increased tomato aboveground biomass.
- Association Later weed removal decreased tomato biomass.
- Intervention effect At a given weed timing, grafted tomato produced higher biomass than nongrafted tomato.
- Association Delaying weed removal increased weed biomass by the same magnitude.
- Method / resource The predicted critical weed-control period for grafted tomato was 2.2 to 4.5 WAT.
- Method / resource The predicted critical weed-control period for nongrafted tomato was 3.3 to 5.8 WAT.
- Intervention effect Grafting did not affect critical-period length of 2.3 or 2.5 weeks.
- Observation Critical-period management began and ended one week earlier for grafted tomato.
