Table 4. Effect of different herbicides on dry matter yield in corn & soybean mixed cropping
Dry matter yield | Treatments | SEM | p-value |
No herbicide | Pendimethalin | Linuron | S-metolachlor | Ethalfluralin |
Corn stalk (ton/ha) | 5.1 | 6.1 | 5.5 | 6.1 | 6.1 | 0.313 | 0.405 |
Corn ear (ton/ha) | 1.8 | 2.2 | 1.7 | 2.3 | 2.4 | 0.421 | 0.832 |
Soybean (kg/ha) | 383 | 904 | 680 | 808 | 963 | 121.0 | 0.146 |
Total (ton/ha) | 7.3 | 9.2 | 7.9 | 9.2 | 9.5 | 0.758 | 0.475 |
Soybean proportion (%) | 4.9 | 9.5 | 9.2 | 8.9 | 10.1 | 1.3 | 0.274 |
Relative DM yield (%) | 100 | 126 | 108 | 126 | 130 | - | - |
Variables having different superscripts in the same rows are significantly different (p < 0.05).
