Paper Summary

Researchers studied how different planting patterns and herbicides affect weed growth and rice yield. Skip-row planting had the fewest weeds and highest grain yield. Using butachlor and 2,4-D herbicides reduced weed population and increased grain yield significantly compared to hand-weeding.
