Paper Summary

The researchers tested different herbicides on chickpea plants to see which ones were most effective at controlling weeds. They found that using a combination of pendimethalin and imazethapyr both before and after the chickpea plants emerged resulted in the highest seed yield and best weed control. This method was just as good as keeping the field completely weed-free.
