| Other trial notes |
Grub infestations attacked the pods of the chickpea, resulting in a lack of seed development. As a result a high number of pods are unable to produce seed, significantly reducing crop yield. Grub infestations attacked the pods of the chickpea, resulting in a lack of seed development. As a result a high number of pods are unable to produce seed, significantly reducing crop yield. Poor Diuron incorporation resulted in weeds in furrow but not on ridges. |
