Conclusions
The results of our study demonstrate that DSR can produce yields comparable with that of PTR, provided that weeds are properly controlled.
The use of a combination of post emergence herbicides for grass, sedge, and broadleaved weeds provided higher yield than the application of a single post emergence herbicide.
Without any control measure, weed pressure was higher in DSR and WSR than in PTR.
Grasses were higher while sedges and broadleaved weeds were lower in DSR as compared to PTR and NPTR.
In both seasons, herbicide efficacy was better in DSR and WSR than in the other establishment methods.
